Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest speech to the Federal Meeting in Moscow warned the West concerning the penalties of beginning a struggle with Russia. Putin mentioned:
“The West has provoked conflicts in Ukraine, the Center East, and different areas around the globe whereas constantly propagating falsehoods. Now they’ve the audacity to say that Russia harbors intentions of attacking Europe.”
Now that Ukraine has misplaced the battle, the West is “deciding on targets to strike on our territory and considering probably the most environment friendly technique of destruction. Now they’ve began speaking about the opportunity of deploying NATO navy contingents to Ukraine.”
Putin now expresses concern that the West’s provocations might end in nuclear struggle:
“Every thing they’re inventing now, spooking the world with the specter of a battle involving nuclear weapons, which doubtlessly means the tip of civilization – don’t they understand this? The issue is that these are individuals who have by no means confronted profound adversity; they don’t have any conception of the horrors of struggle. We – even the youthful era of Russians – have endured such trials in the course of the combat in opposition to worldwide terrorism within the Caucasus, and now, within the battle in Ukraine. However they proceed to think about this as a form of motion cartoon.”
It’s unclear whether or not Putin but understands that his tolerance of provocations encourages the neoconservatives to push ahead with their hegemonic coverage. It’s Putin’s failure to place down a agency foot that’s resulting in struggle. Putin ought to perceive that within the West there is no such thing as a different voice to the neoconservatives. There is no such thing as a opposition Putin can rouse as an ally for peace. Putin and Xi are the one constraints on US hegemony. If these constraints stay in abeyance, the march to nuclear struggle will proceed.
