Looking at the international situation, recently, a struggle has quietly unfolded. From the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis in Eastern Europe, to the sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia, to Russia's resolute counterattack, a series of events are worrying. As the old saying goes, "If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back." "It is undeniable that before the time comes, no matter what the situation, it will be difficult to conclude.

So let's re-examine how this chain of events evolved into the tensions it is today?

Retaliation came too quickly! Putin ordered hundreds of diplomats to be expelled and returned to the United States and Britain

First, let's look at Russia's resolute counterattack against Germany. Not long ago, Germany expelled more than 20 Russian diplomats, causing dissatisfaction on the Russian side. And now, in a "doubling down" manner, Russia has ordered the expulsion of hundreds of German civil servants. Not only did the move far outnumber the German deportations, but it also spanned a variety of fields, including diplomacy, education, and culture. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Germany and shows that tensions are rising in Russian-German relations.

The situation behind it is more complicated. Not so long ago, Germany played an important role in supplying advanced tanks to Ukraine, and at the same time, Germany's expulsion of Russian diplomats was seen as a means of putting pressure on Russia. This, coupled with Germany's ambiguity about the Nord Stream pipeline bombing, led Russia to take resolute retaliatory action against Germany.

Secondly, Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement has also aroused widespread concern. Although he did not directly mention nuclear weapons, he made it clear that Russia will defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity by all means, including the use of all available forces. This statement was interpreted as saying that Russia will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to defend its national interests. It is worth noting that not so long ago, Russia withdrew from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, which means that Russia will deploy weapons, including nuclear weapons, on its territory without any restrictions.

Even more worrisome is the remarks of Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. He warned that if Western countries supplied Ukraine with nuclear weapons, Russia would take a "preemptive strike" strike. This means that once Ukraine is supported by nuclear weapons, Russia will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to fight back. Given that Russia is a global nuclear power, with a formidable nuclear arsenal and hypersonic missiles, this threat cannot be underestimated.

Finally, let's summarize. In the face of a tough and powerful Russia, Western countries such as the United States, Britain, France and Germany must carefully consider their actions. Russia has always responded to provocations with a tough and resolute stance, and this time is no exception. In the international political arena, mutual pressure and retaliation will only further escalate tensions that could eventually lead to irreversible consequences. It is therefore time to revisit and seek to resolve disputes through dialogue and diplomacy, rather than continuing to play with fire. Only in this way can more promising prospects for global peace and stability be created.
