The United States finally approved the $60 billion aid bill for Ukraine, and some of Russia are disappointed, which not only means that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will continue to see-saw, but also may mean that Russia cannot count on the US election and cannot reverse the US route of aid to Ukraine.
It is foreseeable that the resumption of US aid to Ukraine will intensify the military pressure faced by Russia. The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and at this time, Russia received another piece of bad news.
According to a CCTV News report on the 22nd, Polish President Duda said that Poland, as a member of NATO, is ready to receive nuclear weapons if allies decide to deploy nuclear weapons in Poland, and Poland supports strengthening NATO's eastern flank to counter the threat of threats from Russia.
Poland shares a border with both Belarus and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, and Duda accused Russia of increasing its militarization of Kaliningrad and has transferred nuclear weapons to Belarus. Duda's implication is that Russia's military threat to Poland is growing day by day, and Poland needs to confront Russia by "possessing nuclear weapons".
Poland has always been the "vanguard of anti-Russia", and Duda has always been active in dealing with Russia, and it is not the first time that Duda has sought to let the United States deploy nuclear weapons in Poland, but Duda may have other plans this time.
Since Tusk returned to the post of Polish prime minister, the "palace dispute" in Poland has become increasingly fierce, and the contradictions between Duda and Tusk have almost been put on the table. On January 9, Polish police "raided" the Polish presidential palace and took away former Polish Interior Minister Kaminski and his deputy Maciej Vasik.
In recent times, the game between Duda and Tusk has continued. Tusk adheres to the "pro-European" line, and in order to confront Tusk, Duda is clearly moving closer to the United States and singing against the EU. On the one hand, Duda openly opposed the introduction of the euro in Poland, and on the other hand, Duda made a special visit to Trump, which smacked of "betting" on Trump. As for seeking Poland's inclusion in NATO's nuclear program, it can be seen as Duda's curry favor with the United States.
At present, the United States insists on intensifying its efforts to contain Russia, while NATO continues to expand and try to tighten the "blockade circle" against Russia, while continuing to blur the "red line" with Russia, and even claims that it is ready for a direct conflict with Russia. According to a report on the 22nd, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the West is on the verge of a direct military conflict with a nuclear power. Poland took the initiative to introduce NATO nuclear weapons, which just caters to the needs of the United States to strengthen its nuclear deterrence against Russia.
However, American deterrence is deterrence, and Russia is just as strong.
According to a CCTV news report on the 22nd, the Kremlin should say that if there are NATO nuclear weapons in Poland, Russia will take all necessary measures to protect Russia's security, and Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova directly warned that if NATO and Russia clash, these nuclear weapons will also become the target of Russia.
The Russian side has behaved quite seriously this time, and the Russian General Staff will also consider the issue of Poland's "possession of nuclear weapons" in military planning. Although NATO has repeatedly tested Russia's bottom line, NATO cannot take chances with Russia's boldness, after all, Putin once said that "what else would the world do without Russia."
All in all, the outbreak of a nuclear war will bring great disasters to mankind all over the world, and I hope that all parties can exercise restraint on the nuclear issue.
