Bluff or intimidation: Putin wants to start nuclear escalation against the event - the Telegraph

To spread: the Russian Federation mostly uses nuclear weapon as an element of information warfare to intimidate the event that has produced results. At the same time, Ukraine is convinced that all actions of Russia in this direction are a pure bluff, which the Kremlin tries to cover its failures. The likelihood that Russian leader Vladimir Putin will order the use of nuclear weapons "remains low, but not zero," says Bob Sili column for the Telegraph.

According to the author, US President Donald Trump's decision to move submarines is a response to Dmitry Medvedev's social networks, whose role in the Kremlin hierarchy is to be a "crazy dog, which is poured by terrifying threats against the Kremlin enemies. " "It is good that Trump is finally beginning to see in the regime in Russia.

Obviously, he was angry that his Kremlin's pacification policy did not produce results, despite his incredible proposal of peace made bypassing Ukrainians, which would allow Putin to avoid responsibility for the terrible crimes of his army. " At the same time, Mr. Sili is convinced that the Russian regime knows that he can provoke US President for real action if he "puts it out of balance enough.

" However, there is a risk that nuclear policy is now turning "a dangerous game in the style of thrash on social networks. " "From the beginning of his military-political campaign against Ukraine since 2005, in order to subordinate it to Russia, Putin increased the rates once after it did not reach the desired. It happened in 2014 with a partial invasion of the Donbas, and then-in 2022 with a full-scale invasion. - writes the author.

According to Sili, the Russian Federation uses the concept of "escalation for the sake of de -escalation", which involves the use of nuclear weapons in order to intercept control over the course of war, forcing the enemy to surrender or destroy it. According to the ideas, it provides the following stages: "Putin has already weakened the framework within which Russia can use nuclear weapons.

The military doctrine of the Russian Federation 2014 provides two main cases: in response to nuclear attack or in the event of a threat to Russia. To lose control of their arsenal - for example, in the case of a series of high -precision conventional blows. He was convinced that last year Putin had further reduced the nuclear threshold, but the operation of the SBU "Web" in June this year "did not provoke" the Russian leader for response.

It is the Ukrainians, according to Sili, that has long been insisting that Russia's threats are nothing other than "bluff, designed to cover up the failures of the army that has already lost up to a million soldiers. " "What to do? There are no good options, and the crisis can be even more aggravated. Putin's regime is configured to war - it is worth recognizing directly. He does not want peace.

[Therefore] the best hope for the event is to help Ukraine, especially in the part of the air defense to protect its sustainable but exhausted citizens - to repel the offensive of Russia and to make a majority. Sili. Earlier, Focus reported how Trump advised "to watch" Medvedev. He called the Russian exglavia by a failure former president and says that such rhetoric official "enters a very dangerous territory.
