CNN: “US public warning not to use Russian nuclear weapons, proves the situation is serious”
“Putin, who put all his energy into Ukraine, cannot admit his failure… the world’s ‘dangerous moment'”
Russia, which has been on the defensive in the Ukraine war, has recently issued an order to send in its troops, suggesting the possibility of using nuclear weapons, and the United States has warned of a strong response.
As the conflict between the two nuclear powers the United States and Russia unfolds, there are concerns that the Ukraine war, which has entered its eighth month, is one step closer to the worst-case scenario of nuclear war, CNN reported on the 26th (local time). he did
Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a partial mobilization order on the 21st, saying that the West is threatening Russia with nuclear weapons and that Russia can use all means to respond.
He also warned that “it is not an accusation” suggesting the possibility of using nuclear weapons.
The next day, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s National Security Council, considered Putin’s closest aide, said that “any weapon, including strategic nuclear weapons, can be used to defend Russian territory, including newly occupied territories,” and went one step further..
Tensions between the two countries over the use of nuclear weapons appear to be rising as foreign and security chiefs warn all at once that Russia, which has been on the defensive in the Ukraine war, will take a decisive response if it uses nuclear. weapons.
“It is very important for the Russian government to know that the consequences of the threat of nuclear war will be dire,” said US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln in an interview with CBS on the 25th.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan also appeared on CBS that day, saying, “We are communicating directly and privately with the Russian side at a high level and saying that if we use nuclear weapons, Russia will face disastrous consequences, and the United States and its allies will respond decisively.” “It was clear what that would mean,” he said.
CNN reported that the United States and the United States were exchanging threats and warnings about the possible use of nuclear weapons.
The more President Putin is cornered and attempts to threaten the enemy with ‘nuclear weapons’, Russia’s best lever, the tension in the West could grow.
But Putin is exaggerating the nuclear threat to scare the people of the West and a split in the unity of the West in terms of support for Ukraine, and many Western experts believe that Russia will not actually use nuclear weapons.
However, it is also true that President Putin has poured everything into this war, which is increasingly unfavorable to Russia, as shown by the partial mobilization order revoked last week.
His return to the nuclear threat card reflects this reality, which is increasingly cornered at home and abroad, CNN said.
In addition, the United States, which has been warning Russia through unofficial channels not to use nuclear weapons for months after the start of the Ukraine war, has recently urged foreign and security officials to publicly refrain from using nuclear weapons, which a sign that the situation is just as dangerous. CNN interpreted.
US officials did not specify the devastating consequences of Russia’s use of nuclear weapons, but military and diplomatic experts believe it would be far more serious than additional economic sanctions against Russia.
If Russia actually uses nuclear weapons, even if the damage is limited, the humanitarian and environmental impact will outweigh the killing and terror in Ukraine so far. By setting a precedent, it could ‘ Other rogue countries’ move forward with scrambling over nuclear development, CNN fears.
World leaders are divided on the possibility that Putin will actually push the nuclear button.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” on the 25th, ignoring Putin’s nuclear threat and stressing that the West must provide maximum support to Ukraine.
On the other hand, the President of Finland, Sauli Ninistö, who has been familiar with Putin for a long time, has warned that Putin has reached a dangerous moment because he has poured too much credit into the war.
“Putin is a fighter,” said Ninistö. “It is very difficult to think that he will accept any defeat.
“This fact made the situation very dangerous,” he said.
In conclusion, CNN said that it is impossible for Putin to admit that he failed in the Ukraine war for historical, personal and political reasons, and that the world has reached an uncertain moment.
