Almost all countries are worried that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will escalate into the global nuclear war , but there is an NATO country that seems not afraid at all. Recently, a NATO country has clearly demonstrated its position on the Russian hawks, and even threatened to carry out "destructive revenge" on Russia - what exactly is it that makes this country irritate Putin , which holds a large number of nuclear weapons ?

According to Global Network citing AFP on September 29, recently, Polish Foreign Minister Zbignev Law was interviewed by US media reporters while visiting the United States. When talking about Putin's "nuclear intimidation", he told NBC reporters that Putin is threatening to use tactical nuclear weapon to carry out a devastating blow to the Ukrainian territory, rather than launching an attack on NATO - but NATO also needs to carry out "destructive revenge" on Russia. He said that he believes this is a tough and clear warning signal that the current NATO alliance needs to send to Russia.

But it should be noted that 's "retaliation assumption" is based on "Russia's first use of nuclear weapons". In addition, he also clearly pointed out that NATO's reaction should be "conventional". Therefore, it can be seen that his claim is that "once Russia invests tactical nuclear weapons, NATO's conventional forces must participate in the war and launch a retaliatory strike against Russia", and it is not to directly fight a "nuclear war" with Russia. But despite this, Poland's hawkish stance on Russia has become very obvious.

It is reported that he is not the first NATO official to publish his views on this, but he is the first official to have such a radical view. Previously, US Security Consultant Sullivan pointed out that if Russia uses nuclear weapons, it will cause "disastrous consequences" . But even if it is as powerful as the United States, it does not dare to directly claim to "spread military forces to retaliate against Russia."

Among NATO countries, Poland is by no means the strongest one. Moreover, geographical restrictions make it face Russia's challenges more directly than other countries. So, why does Poland dare to shout the slogan of "destructive revenge" directly? This is likely because of the two huge challenges brought to Poland by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

First of all, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is exacerbating the "refugee crisis" facing Poland. Up to now, the number of refugees registered in has reached nearly 1.4 million, making it the country with the largest number of refugees in Ukraine in the whole of Europe. You should know that the population of Poland is only more than 30 million. The food, drinking, defecation, and sleeping of more than one million refugees has put a huge pressure on Poland's administrative capacity. Under such circumstances, Poland obviously hopes that the Russian army can "get out" as soon as possible than any country.

In addition, Poland is also facing a serious economic crisis . Affected by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Poland had to significantly increase its defense spending and purchase a large amount of modern equipment to enhance its ability to resist the Russian army. But Poland's economic situation does not allow the Polish authorities to "prepare for war" in such a long time. From 2021 to 2022, Poland's economic growth rate was much lower than expected, but the inflation rate exceeded 15.6%, reaching the highest level in 25 years, which forced the Polish central bank to raise interest rate benchmarks for six consecutive months. According to calculations by economic analysts at BNP Paribas , in the second quarter of this year alone, Poland's economic strength shrank by about 2.3%. With the arrival of the refugee crisis and the energy crisis, the economic downturn may further intensify.

Under the increasingly severe internal pressure at home, and seeing the Russian army begin to lose in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and to have to mobilize reserves for reinforcements, it seems not difficult to understand that the Polish authorities demonstrate their hawkish stance and force the Russian army to stop military operations with a tougher attitude. During his visit to the United States, Zbignev also clearly pointed out that Russia "is losing the Ukrainian War", proving that the Ukrainian authorities do have the meaning of "taking advantage of others' danger". However, he also pointed out that the Russian people's support for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still very high.Therefore, Poland's warnings and even intimidation may not have any positive effect on Putin and the entire Russian-Ukrainian conflict - after all, it is not Poland that can truly command NATO troops.
