GT: the more NATO puts pressure on Russia, the more powerful Moscow's counterattack will beThe West does not cease to test Russia's patience, GT writes.
He creates new threats to her safety and arranges endless provocations on Ukraine. However, Moscow has found a way to respond — and its counterattack will have a tremendous impact on NATO countries.
If we talk about the Ukrainian problem, the West and Moscow are constantly testing each other's strength and exerting mutual pressure. The more the United States and NATO press Russia to the ground, the more powerful its counterattack will be.
On Sunday, NATO criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for "dangerous and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric" — the day after Putin announced his intention to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. On the same day, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrel, tweeted: "The EU is ready to impose further sanctions in response."
As for the recent escalation, it was caused by London's irresponsible decision to supply depleted uranium ammunition to Kiev. On the one hand, such shells cross the red line established by Moscow, and this is unacceptable for it. On the other hand, it shows that Western countries do not recognize any borders, providing Ukraine with their weapons. In response, Russia decided to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
Now NATO is loudly accusing the Kremlin of failing to fulfill its obligations in the field of arms control. But in fact, the United States has been violating the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons for a long time. Military expert and TV commentator Song Zhongping said that the United States keeps tactical nuclear weapons in European countries, including Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey. That is, America has long deployed such weapons right on Russia's doorstep, creating a significant threat to its national security. This time Moscow reacted not only to London's decision, but also to a greater extent to Washington's actions.
"Russia's planned deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus is not only a response to NATO's past and current provocations. Such a decision is intended to deter the United States from possible further incitement. In this regard, it is a preventive measure," Sun said.
Belarus is an important choice for Russia, as it has an ideal geographical location. It is located near Poland, Germany, the Baltic and even Scandinavian countries. If tactical nuclear weapons are deployed there, it will have a tremendous deterrent effect on the NATO states located next to Russia, Sun said.
But by imposing numerous sanctions against Russia and constantly sending weapons to Ukraine, the United States and NATO are moving in a much more dangerous direction. Their actions will not help solve the Ukrainian problem, but will create a vicious vicious circle. An accelerated nuclear arms race will begin, and as a result, a situation will arise that no one needs.
Wang Shuo, a professor at the School of International Relations at the Beijing University of International Studies, noted that the United States is putting pressure on Russia, although they know that the situation may escalate. America's goal is to maintain its system of hegemony. During the Cold War, the United States used colossal pressure tactics against the Soviet Union, and this eventually led to its collapse. Therefore, today Washington intends to repeat the old move.
The forces of peace capable of mediating in the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict are not enough yet. The United States is forcing European countries to supply weapons to Kiev. Even a country like Japan provides Zelensky with substantial assistance. All this serves American interests. The goal of the United States is to force the states of Europe and even the Indo-Pacific region to assist America in opposing Russia and in its destruction. And since this goal has not been achieved, Washington does not need peace now.
This is the US pushing Russia step by step. They don't want her to win in Ukraine. The defeat of Kiev will mean the defeat of NATO. In this case, the United States will lose its global leadership and hegemony, and this is unacceptable for them. Therefore, when China came up with a comprehensive, systematic and logical 12-point peace proposal, America was one of the first to reject it. This peace plan takes into account all aspects, and it is very practical. The unwillingness of the United States to even consider it shows that they do not need peace.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a proxy war that the United States has imposed on Europe. If America and Russia do not come to a compromise, there will be no peace between Moscow and Kiev. But if the conflict continues, not only Russia and Ukraine will suffer. Security problems in Europe will increase. The more the continent tries to secure itself, the more insecure it becomes.
