LOS ANGELES.–Russian officials responded to 81-year-old President Joe Biden and the NATO alliance weighing the removal of a restriction to Ukraine using U.S. and NATO-supplied arms to attack inside the Russian Federation. Russian President Vladimir Putin, 71, has warned the Western Alliance that any attempt by the Western Alliance to use arms to attack inside the Russian Federation would be a red flag. Biden has so far been reluctant to give 46-year-old Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky the green light to use U.S. weapons to attack inside Russia. Biden refused to commit U.S. or NATO troop in Ukraine to prevent WW III, something he and other NATO countries seek to avoid. Zelensky already sees Ukraine as fighting WW III, having no compunction about dragging the U.S. and NATO into a wider conflict on the European Continent.
Biden threw Zelensky for a loop in 2022 when he told Communist China that he would commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan, an ally since WW II in the Pacific Rim. Yet whatever the commitment Biden makes to Ukraine, it doesn’t involve U.S. or NATO troops. Biden and Zelensky have warned Congress and European Union [EU] that if they didn’t support Ukraine, Putin would move the Russian army to conquer other European countries. Biden and Zelensky’s unfounded rubbish buffaloes a lot of Congress and the EU, convinced of Putin’s evil intent on annexing more European territory. Putin has warned the U.S. and EU that any encroachment of the Ukraine War on Russian National Security would open up the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons. U.S. and EU officials know that they’re pushing the world to the brink of WW III giving Zelensky the green light to attack inside Russia.
Moscow’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy Dmitry Suslov proposed recently that the Kremlin demonstrate its tactical nuclear capability to the U.S. and EU. Putin said yesterday that the U.S. and NATO played with fire giving Zelensky the OK to attack targets inside Russia. Suslov carries consider clout with the Kremlin when it comes to strategic defense policy. “To confirm the seriousness of Russia’s intentions and to convince our opponents of Moscow’s readiness to escalate. It is worth considering a demonstrative (i.e., non-combat) nuclear explosion,” Suslov wrote in business magazine Profil. Biden and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen haven’t figured out that the longer the Ukraine War goes, the bigger the risks to the U.S. and EU. Putin is dead serious about responding to the U.S. or NATO should they start attacking the Russian Federation.
Biden and Zelensky refuse to admit there’s a way out of the Ukraine War through negotiation, compromise and peace talks. Biden and Zelensky have refused to compromise with the Russian Federation, believing that Russia is the only one that can make the compromises. Putin wants to move the conflict to the peace table but only if Biden and Zelensky are willing to compromise on Russian control of Ukrainian territory. Insisting on Putin leaving Ukrainian territory, Biden and Zelensky have made compromise impossible. “The political and psychological effect of a nuclear mushroom cloud, which will be shown live on TV channels around the world, will hopefully remind Western politicians of the one thing that has prevented wars between the great powers since 1945 and that they have now largely lost—fear of nuclear war,” Suslov wrote for public consumption.
No matter how dangerously close to WW III, U.S., EU and NATO officials have been in denial over pushing the Kremlin to start testing tactical nukes on the battlefield. Ukraine has become a lightening rod for dissent in Europe with Hungarian President Viktor Orban refusing to keep arming the Kiev government. All anyone knows now is that Ukraine has received a $60 billion cash infusion to continue the war indefinitely. Only 77-year-old President Donald Trump understands the colossal waste and danger of giving Zelensky as blank check to fight the Kremlin. Suslov is trying to make the point of how far does the Kremlin need to be pushed before it starts exploding nukes on the battlefield. No one at the Kremlin has yet endorsed Suslov’s proposal to detonate nukes for all to see. Biden keeps playing a dangerous game of chicken with Putin.
Biden and Zelensky have pushed the world to the brink of WW III in Ukraine. U.S. and EU officials look to approve confiscation of Russian assets for the purposes of paying Ukraine for war reparations. Putin warned that using Russian assets would be an act of war. When it comes to exploding nukes, the U.S. and EU are on notice that the Kremlin has little patience with U.S. and EU warmongering. Whatever the dissent in the EU, Trump epitomizes the opposition to more Ukraine funding in the U.S. No one believes that Biden is going to vanquish the Kremlin pouring more cash-and-arms into Ukraine. Putin thinks detonating a nuke would get the U.S. and EU attention, currently in a semi-torpid state. British Defense Secretary David Cameron, formerly Prime Minister, has been pushing to let Ukraine use all U.S. and NATO weapons against the Russian Federation.
