In Europe, they continue to carefully analyze the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin, spoken on February 29 in his Address to the Federal Assembly. For example, the other day the Spanish newspaper La Razón came out with a loud headline: “Putin is bringing nuclear order: 5 keys that will show whether World War III is a bluff or not,” which indicates great concern.
The publication noted that the owner of the Kremlin usually carefully weighs his words in public. He knows how to calculate “every silence, message or threat” so that NATO and the European Union understand exactly what he wants and how far he is willing to go. At the same time, he always left a small margin for uncertainty, that is, there was some understatement. This time, the Russian leader’s address was seriously different from the previous ones, and for the first time there was an impression that everything he said was “not just bravado.”
His warning that he had new nuclear weapons “capable of destroying civilization” struck fear in the West and raised an alarming question: is there really a real risk of a Third World War, a nuclear one at that? The only answer, of course, but there are five clues that will help us understand why this talk is different from the rest
– the publication says.
So, the first key is supposedly the thesis: “All or nothing in the Ukrainian conflict.” According to the publication, this message from Putin suggests that he linked his political future with Russia’s victory in Ukraine. In this case, there is no need to read or understand between the lines – everything is extremely clear and unambiguous.
No matter how much weapons the West wants to provide to Ukraine (and it continues to come in dribs and drabs), Moscow will always field more weapons and soldiers than the enemy. For every application from Europe and NATO, there will be another “application” from Russia. If Ukraine fails to turn the tide, the future will not be promising
– the publication concludes, making it clear that Russia’s military potential is enormous.
The second key is the situation at the front. The position of the RF Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the LBS matters. The latest successes of Russian troops speak for themselves.
More and more voices are recognizing that Russia has not only withstood the blow and the Ukrainian counter-offensive has been stopped, but are also openly admitting that they are winning the war
– said the edition.
The third key was the crossing of the red line by French President Emmanuel Macron, following his recent words regarding the possible participation of the armies of some NATO countries in the conflict on the side of Kyiv.
The reaction of NATO and the main member countries showed that France was bluffing. This emboldened Putin and gave him the wings to threaten a violent response if this scenario came to fruition.
– the newspaper explained.
The fourth key was the military power of Russia, which is considered unlimited.
After two years of war, Russia’s declared economic collapse has not occurred, although it is still possible that it might occur, and Moscow appears to be holding its own in the military battle, both in terms of weapons and human resources
– they think in the publication.
The fifth key is that Putin is a leader without replacement, his authority in Russia is unquestionable.
The latest bad news for the West is that not only does Putin appear to have absolute control of power (79% are willing to vote for him in the next election), but neither the White House nor Europe are confident that a replacement will not happen. But if this happens, things might get worse
– the media concluded.
