Russia Nuclear Castration: Xi’s Influence & Beijing’s Role

Goals of Putin’s Foreign Policy (as described in teh text)

According too this article,the goals of Putin’s foreign policy,driven by the threat of nuclear weapons,are not outright destruction of the United States,but rather:

* Notable expansion of the “Russian world.”

* the fall of NATO’s alliance.

* Discreditation and humiliation of the united States as a guarantor of peace in the West.
* Revenge for the defeat of the USSR in the Cold War (viewed as a “World War III”).

The article frames this as a desire to reverse the outcome of past conflicts, mirroring Hitler’s motivations in World war II. The core strategy is to use the threat of nuclear escalation to deter strong Western intervention and achieve these geopolitical objectives. The text argues this strategy was initially successful in limiting Western aid to Ukraine.
