A war in Ukraine was defined as a "hybrid war" by the United States and European countries. No matter how nice American politicians say it, they cannot hide the fact that the United States can no longer afford to fight, or dare not fight a large-scale modernization war. However, this does not affect the clamor of some American politicians for threats of war.
According to the " Global Times ", former U.S. military commander in Iraq and Afghanistan recently told the media that if Russia uses nuclear weapons from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States will "kill" the Russian army with its allies.
Petro Urez's premise for making the above statement is that Russia has frequently issued warnings of "using nuclear weapons" recently, casting a layer of haze for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in nuclear war . Therefore, Petoures said in an interview with the media, "Western countries must take the possibility that Russia will use nuclear weapons seriously. If Russia really does this, the United States will lead its allies to kill the Russian army of Crimea ."
The situation on the battlefield in Ukraine has changed a lot recently. The Russian army has lost cities and land on the battlefield one after another, which is increasing the risk of Kremlin using nuclear weapons. In addition, four regions including Luhansk and Donetsk were merged into the Russian Federation through referendum. In order to avoid excessive reactions from Western countries, Russia has issued nuclear warnings many times recently. The leader of Chechnya Kadyrov recently even suggested that Putin use "low-equivalent nuclear weapons" in Ukraine.
As we all know, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is actually a "hybrid war" between Russia and NATO . What Russia has to face is not just an opponent like Ukraine, but the challenges of the entire NATO military system. More importantly, due to insufficient troops and the need to defend the front line of Ukraine for thousands of kilometers, the Russian army has repeatedly fallen into a passive state on the battlefield.
The Russian-Ukraine War is, in a sense, a "decisive battle of life and death" for Russia. If Russia loses the Ukrainian War, NATO's continued eastward expansion will completely block Russia's way out for westward entry. Even the strategic achievements of Crimea's incorporation into the Russian Federation are very likely to be crushed in the wheels of NATO's eastward expansion of . Obviously, in the face of NATO's step-by-step pressing, Russia has no way out.
Because it is related to the survival of the country, even though Putin knew that a special military operation against Ukraine was equivalent to stabbing the West, he still chose to start the war without hesitation. Under such circumstances, the Ukrainian war is a war that cannot be afforded to lose for Russia. Therefore, if the Western support for Ukraine forces Russia to a desperate situation where there is no way out, no one can guarantee that it will not use nuclear weapons.
US media once disclosed that "the Biden administration does not want Kiev to have too strong offensive on the battlefield", which is obviously due to the above factors. So, if Russia issued a nuclear strike warning before this would be considered "bluffing", today Russia issued a similar warning again, probably not many people would think it was a joke.
So, although Peter Urez is so slutty, he cannot hide the US's fear of nuclear war in his words: "If Russia really uses nuclear weapons, although the United States and NATO will inevitably respond, this will not rise to the level of nuclear control, because the United States does not want to fall into a situation of nuclear escalation." Petro Urez's statement is already very clear: the United States does not want to see the Russian-Ukrainian conflict escalate to the nuclear war level.
Out of fear of nuclear war, the United States has recently made adjustments to the latest round of military aid model for Ukraine. According to an official at the Pentagon to the media, the latest US$1.1 billion military aid project for Ukraine cannot be delivered in a short time. The general delivery time for weapons and equipment will be carried out between 6 months and 24 months, while the 18 sets of Himas rocket launchers that assist Ukraine will need to be delivered several years later.
Judging from Petro Urez's seemingly contradictory remarks, the United States also has its own bottom line on the Ukraine issue, which is that it does not intend to force Putin to the corner. Therefore, Petro Urez's remarks clamoring to "kill" the Russian army are at best bluffing, and his real intention is to send a clear message to Russia: the United States does not want the situation to rise to the level of the nuclear war.
