Western media intensively published the emergency meeting between the United States, NATO and Ukrainian foreign ministers, and all parties are constantly threatening Russia, it seems that the situation is really not optimistic. Putin the Great is to show the sword to the United States nato, let them know that provoking and provoking Russia will pay a huge price. After all, the United States instigated Ukraine to provoke a border war, and constantly provided Ukraine with military weapons and equipment, but slandered Russia as the biggest crisis maker. It seems that Putin can only use the toughest means to let the United States and NATO see what is the red line drawn by Russia that cannot be crossed.
Just on the 17th, there was the latest news: according to the US media confirmation, the military column loaded with the Russian Army's most advanced "Iskander" tactical missile was photographed by satellites in the Ukrainian border area. In Ulan-Ude and Bilobida, the Russian 103rd and 107th Tactical Missile Brigades have been deployed there, and the two units equipped with high-precision tactical nuclear missiles are subordinate to the Russian 36th and 35th Army Groups, respectively. apparently. Russia's own Iskander M missile can cover a range of more than 400 kilometers, which includes Ukrainian and US military bases, and its impact significance is self-evident.
Seeing that Putin has brightened his sword, the United States and NATO, which are completely unprepared, are now like ants on a hot pot--- turning around. White House spokesman Shaky said Tuesday (Jan. 18) that the current situation in Ukraine is extremely dangerous and that Russia could launch an attack on Ukraine at any time. U.S. State Department officials say Secretary of State Blinken will travel to Geneva later this week to meet with the Russian foreign minister to seek a diplomatic solution. Obviously, the United States is playing up the crisis in Ukraine, which is trying to seek dialogue with Russia.
And according to the Voice of America Chinese Network reported in the early morning of the 19th: US Secretary of State Blinken met with the Ukrainian president in Kiev this week and will emphasize the commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. A White House spokesman said the current situation in Ukraine is extremely dangerous and that Russia could attack at any time. If Russia acts, it will face serious consequences. Obviously, the United States still wants to threaten and warn Russia before it meets, and the United States is afraid that Russia will really move, after all, the United States is not ready to go to war with Russia.
The German side is obviously also very concerned about the situation, especially the more pro-US German foreign minister is cooperating with the United States. According to the Deutsche Welle Chinese network reported on the evening of the 18th: German Foreign Minister Berbock said in talks with the Ukrainian foreign minister that Ukraine's territorial integrity is not negotiable, and Germany will do its best to ensure The security of Ukraine. If Russia invades Ukraine, it will pay a "high price" for it. However, the German foreign minister again rejected Ukraine's request for German weapons, saying that this was based on Germany's consistent policy and special historical conditions.
And NATO has also expressed its position, according to the Voice of America Chinese Network reported in the early morning of the 19th: NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said on Tuesday (January 18) that the risk of conflict between Russia and Ukraine is real. Stoltenberg said this after discussing the situation in Ukraine with German Chancellor Schoelz. Scholz called on Russia to reduce its troop deployment on the Ukrainian border. Obviously they are all threatening Russia, rendering. If Russia takes action, it will pay a huge price. But the question is what price will Russia pay?
Are they still sanctioning Russia? Don't forget that the United States and the European Union have just succumbed to Russia. Bloomberg reported on the 18th that according to Handelsblatt, if Russia attacks Ukraine, the United States and the European Union will no longer consider the option of removing Russia from the SWIFT international payment system, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter. A spokeswoman for the U.S. National Security Council said all options were still under discussion, adding that consultations with european counterparts were continuing. This means that the United States and the European Union will not launch the most powerful financial attack on Russia, but only sanction some of Russia's banks.
Although the situation seems to be tense, the United States and some NATO countries are really worried that Russia will intervene, after all, once this situation occurs, it will hit the face of the United States and NATO. The United States will protect Ukraine, but Russia is going to use Ukraine to see if the United States dares to really insert a knife into Ukraine's ribs. If the United States and NATO do not dare to engage in real combat, then the prestige and influence of the United States and NATO in the world will be disgraced. Russia has put up a posture, and since the United States and NATO have played the role of Russia to invade, it will give the United States and NATO the opportunity to pull down the water together.
Putin's political skills are indeed superb, and he can indeed be called a tough president. Directly to the United States and the West, the sword is shown, showing that a large amount of military equipment is to fight Ukraine, so that the US and NATO military bases are also covered. And the Use of Iskander-M missiles, which simply does not involve an invasion of Ukrainian territory. It can also teach Ukraine a harsh lesson, and at the same time punch the United States and NATO countries in the face, making it difficult for the United States and NATO to ride the tiger. Otherwise, why are the foreign ministers of the United States and NATO in such a hurry? Why did Blinken come to meet with the Russian foreign minister? Isn't the military a continuation of politics? Didn't Putin rehearse according to the script?
