There is a popular saying in mainland China in recent years: “The important things should be said three times in a row.” In a televised interview, US President Biden said three “don’ts” in a row, warning Russian President Vladimir Putin: Do not use weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear and chemical weapons after a halt in the war. in Ukraine.
France-Presse news agency reported that Biden warned Putin in an exclusive interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Sunday, some of which were broadcast early on the evening of the 17th. When the host asked: “Ukraine he’s making progress on the battlefield, Putin got embarrassed and cornered. And I want to know, Mr. President, what would you say to him if he considered chemical or technical nuclear weapons? “
Biden replied: he would have said to Putin: “No, no, no. You will change the face of war from World War II.”
Biden was then asked what the consequences would be if Putin crossed the red line. Biden replied, “Do you think I will tell you, I know exactly the consequences of this? Of course, I will not tell you. But there will be serious consequences,” Biden continued: “They are going to be bigger than they are in the world. have been more isolated in the past and what kind of response[faremo]it will depend on what they do.
The US president warned Russian President Vladimir Putin not to use weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear and chemical weapons, after a setback in Ukraine. It was a very timely and cautious response from Washington. As we all know, the Ukrainian army recently held a major counter-offensive in Kharkov in the northeastern part of Ukraine.There were frequent reports of success and the Russian army lost armor and armor and the Ukrainian army recovered. more than 8,000 square kilometers of land. The performance of the Russian army on the Ukrainian battlefield has not only disappointed Putin and the Russian government, but has also been denounced by many military commentators as “shameful”.
The war of aggression against Ukraine that Putin personally directed and deployed has been over for more than 200 days, but the eastern area of Ukraine, indiscriminately bombed by the Russian army for several months, was forced to be discarded in the loop. a few days. wrong to play Putin? As the Chinese saying goes, “the dog jumps over the wall” and “extremely vicious”, Putin, who can’t think about it, will he really take risks one day?
The leader of the second nuclear power, Putin, occupied Ukraine’s largest nuclear power plant with the armed forces shortly after the war began, arresting and imprisoning nuclear power plant personnel, causing panic in Europe over a nuclear spill. Russia also often uses “technical nuclear weapons” to intimidate the international community: everything is ready. But the intimidated part, like the story of the wolf’s arrival, has been intimidated more and more times, its influence has weakened and its vigilance has diminished.
US President Biden is old and frail, but his life experience is quite rich. After the news of the defeat of the Russian army, Biden showed no trace of optimism: he believes that the victory in Ukraine does not indicate the turn of the Russian-Ukrainian war towards victory, and the road is still long.
When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a bilateral summit with Putin in Uzbekistan this week, he expressed concern and concern to Putin over the issue of the war in Ukraine. Modi said directly to Putin: “It is not a time of war”. Putin immediately used a deception that could not be justified: first, he said he was willing to end the war as soon as possible, and then that Ukraine should not negotiate, he forgot to mention who started the war in in the first place?
Li Zhanshu, third member of the Communist Party of China in third place in the ranking of the Communist Party of China, offered the president of the Russian Duma a technique of “reflection”: it should be a sincere private conversation between China and Russia. But this was said before it was known that the Russian Udong army had been defeated and it is difficult to say if he has now changed his mind.
In the acute general speech that Xi Jinping read to Putin, he did not mention Ukraine at all, as if the Russian-Ukrainian war did not exist. He avoided the SCO group dinner, but what did he tell Putin in private? Nobody will know if the Russian side won’t break the news in the future. In the public footage, Putin and Xi Jinping’s body language is indescribable. Putin stares at Xi Jinping, his eyes are sharp and full of resentment. Xi Jinping’s eyes wander, but they never fall on Putin’s face.
Despite the repeated defeats of the Russian army on the battlefield, Putin has insisted on continuing “special military operations” in Ukraine until now. Moscow claimed that the Russian army’s “retreat” from the Kharkiv region was to strengthen the offensive in the Udon Donbas region.
It is understandable that human nature is reluctant to admit that it has lost a battle and you don’t have to worry about it. But the arrogant arrogance cannot be underestimated, so Biden warned Putin: don’t use nuclear and chemical weapons if you lose, and said “no” three times in a row. This is good for Ukraine, for the world, for Russia and for Putin. “The important thing is said three times”, everyone in China knows, does Russia understand?
Xi Jinping is back in China and Putin is doing it and loves it.
