On February 29, in his annual State of the Union address, Vladimir Putin gave a comprehensive discussion of the current international situation and the war between Russia and Ukraine. Putin issued a stern warning to NATO countries, claiming that if attacked by NATO countries, Russia could trigger a nuclear war. This statement has undoubtedly caused a huge shock around the world.
In the face of Putin's warning, the United States reacted quickly. On the 29th, U.S. spokesman Matthew Miller held a press conference to respond to Putin's remarks. Miller said the U.S. has not observed any indication of Russia's intention to use nuclear weapons and will continue to closely monitor Russia's actions.
According to the commentary, the strong fear of Russia in the United States stems to a large extent from the nuclear ** possessed by Russia. As the country with the largest number of nuclear warheads in the world, nuclear ** can be said to be Russia's last line of defense. Therefore, if Russia is cornered, the use of nuclear ** will become a matter of course. This is also the reason why Russia has previously said that if the world does not have Russia, then what is the meaning of the world.
Recently, there have been calls for NATO to send troops to Russia. In particular, France's Macron's statement on the 26th caused tension among all parties. Against this background, the response of the United States, on the one hand, shows that it is paying attention to Russia's actions and does not find anything abnormal; On the other hand, it also hints that the United States does not want to push Russia into a hurry and avoid triggering a larger conflict.
On the 27th, the White House and the Pentagon unanimously publicly stated that they would never send troops to Ukraine to participate in the war. This position is both a response to Russia's warnings and an attempt to reassure Ukraine and other allies that the United States will always stand by Ukraine's side.
However, this position of the United States has also aroused the dissatisfaction of Ukraine and other allies. They believe that this decision of the United States is tantamount to abandoning Ukraine and leaving Ukraine alone to face the Russian military threat. And the United States made this decision largely because they did not want a direct military conflict with Russia, which could provoke a nuclear war.
In general, Putin's warning not only reveals Russia's vigilance against NATO countries, but also highlights the deterrent power of Russia's nuclear **. The U.S. response shows both that they are paying close attention to Russia's actions and that they do not want to push Russia into a hurry to avoid triggering a larger conflict. However, this situation is undoubtedly a huge pressure for Ukraine and other NATO countries. We will have to wait and see how the situation develops in the future.
