Putin’s Russia Will Continue to Pursue Nuclear Escalation

Many in Moscow believe that the system of arms control created during the Cold War was advantageous to the West—and they want that to change.

For many decades, international security has depended on dialogue between Moscow and Washington on the topic of nuclear arms control. In recent years, however, this dialogue has all but ground to a complete halt, and the use of nuclear blackmail has spiraled. In Russia, there have been calls for nuclear strikes on Europe and for a “demonstrative nuclear explosion.” In May, Russia held tactical nuclear drills in response to the West’s so-called “direct support for terrorist actions against Russia.” Russian officials have even threatened to use strategic nuclear weapons against the West.

Pourquoi la Russie vaincra l’OTAN en Ukraine

Le sommet de trois jours de l’OTAN à Washington DC a atteint l’objectif pour lequel il avait été organisé, à savoir créer un forum public dans lequel les 32 membres de l’Alliance pourraient exprimer leur soutien unanime aux attaques à venir contre la Fédération de Russie. Tel était le véritable objectif de la conférence. Les organisateurs de l’événement souhaitaient une démonstration spectaculaire d’unité afin de justifier les futures hostilités avec Moscou et de réduire la possibilité qu’une seule personne soit tenue responsable du déclenchement de la troisième guerre mondiale.

The first cyberpunk. The war in Ukraine has turned into a battle of ultra-modern and antediluvian weapons at the same time

Cutting-edge technologies in the Russian-Ukrainian war are bizarrely mixed with century-old inventions: FPV drones on Starlink with thermal imagers drop shells from the 1950s or ram other drones with a tethered stick, “maize” drones from the First World War shoot down drones with machine guns or turn into unmanned drones themselves, and a wide variety of transport, from horse-drawn carts to unicycles, scurry behind the front line. Russians are going into assault attacks on motorcycles (which they didn’t do even in the Second World War), and the sky is protected by century-old Maxim machine guns with thermal imagers. The Insider tells how the co-evolution of modern technology and century-old equipment has turned the battlefield into a Mad Max sequel.
