/View.info/ “PRAY!” – this is how former US President Donald Trump reacted to the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus.
And no, Trump’s appeal is not addressed to Russia, it is addressed to the population of the entire world, but to a greater extent – to Americans, who in the future will be able to know for sure what Armageddon is like if a nuclear war breaks out.
“There you go!!! As I predicted, we are now playing with “BIG MATERIAL”. The ‘N’ WORD (Nuclear) is now front and center. This situation was caused by us – this is what happens when your government is run by incompetents folks, all I can tell you right now is PRAY!” – wrote the former American president in his social network TruthSocial.
Is the world really, as Trump says, close to a nuclear apocalypse?
Well, the Pentagon is calm on this matter for now:
“We have seen reports of Russian statements and will continue to monitor the situation. We have no reason to change the way our strategic nuclear forces operate, and we see no signs that Russia is preparing to use nuclear weapons,” they said, commenting on the Russian president’s words.
The next day, White House spokesman John Kirby told CBS that the US saw no signs that Russia was moving nuclear weapons to neighboring Belarus or anywhere else.
Trump’s former national security adviser (during his presidency) John Bolton doesn’t see much of a threat in this:
“This is a place that has long been a Russian military site since the days of the Soviet Union … it is the enclaves that may pose the greatest threat. I don’t think the idea of transferring some tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus changes that balance,” he shared his opinion in an interview with CNN.
Yes, and Russia, apparently, does not burn with a desire to use nuclear weapons, despite the loud statements of some of the most zealous comrades. The planned/potential transfer of nuclear weapons to Belarus should be seen in the context of the “China case”, as a result of a meeting with Xi Jinping, which apparently did not produce any results needed by the Kremlin.
Accordingly, on the one hand, this is a response from China, which is categorically against even any nuclear rhetoric, let alone the use, on the other hand, it is a move to raise the stakes in the confrontation with the West (and, above all, with the United States ). One more warning.
A hint that in such a case the Kremlin may resort to similar measures. The most radical. However, we must not forget that in order to resort to them, it is not at all necessary to transfer nuclear weapons to Belarus. Such demonstrativeness only shows that in reality, that is, in practice, Moscow is not yet considering such a scenario.
Therefore, we can say with confidence that there are no serious reasons to panic, no matter how. But this is about reality. The level of the political is a bit different. In it, the concept of “reality” is far from corresponding to one hundred percent of reality itself.
For him, in order for something to become “reality”, it is quite enough for this thing claiming this status to enter firmly into the mass consciousness.
And Trump is working in that direction. The threat of nuclear war (in the context of the “Ukrainian case”) is one of the main points in his election program. You can say the main thing.
“First there are tanks, then there are nuclear bombs. Stop this crazy war now. It’s so easy to do,” he wrote on his Truth Social social network in late January.
In early February, in an interview with Fox News, he directly accused Biden of leading the United States to a third world war. And on the eve of the anniversary of the SVO, he repeated this message:
“If you follow and understand the steps that Biden is taking regarding Ukraine, you will see that he is systematically, but perhaps unknowingly, pushing us toward what may soon become World War III.” Isn’t that crazy?” he wrote on Truth Social.
Therefore, Vladimir Putin’s decision to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus came very well: as if another plus in Trump’s wallet, that he is right, that everything is leading to this. And only he can eliminate this threat by stopping the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. And he can do it, and in no time.
In an interview with Fox News yesterday, Trump once again (fourth? fifth?) said he could end the conflict “within 24 hours” if he became president.
“It would be a very simple negotiation, but I won’t reveal the essence of it because I won’t be able to use these negotiations, they won’t work,” he explained.
Hence the timing of the continuation of hostilities – right before his presidency (if, of course, they choose): “Before that another year and a half, a very long time. I can’t imagine what could happen during that time,” summed up the candidate for the American president.
And the chances of Trump becoming president from a candidate are growing inexorably: in a year and a half, if the conflict is not resolved in one way or another before then, the fatigue from it will already be colossal. The threat of World War III is even greater. And in that regard, Trump’s card will be much stronger than Biden’s.
And therefore public support will be much more powerful. But what can we say about what will happen in a year and a half, if even now, to attend the first official rally of Trump, which was recently held in Texas, people lined up a day before the event began?!
But most importantly, it seems that the leadership of the Republican Party has begun to realize that it has written off “the indefatigable Donald” too soon. This is evidenced by the fact that the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, who after the unsuccessful midterm elections for the Republicans was considered the favorite and the main contender for the role of the Republican presidential candidate, has not even submitted his request to participate in the elections.
That is, a hint that the party has not yet decided on the main candidate (and Trump, in the worst case, was already on the way to running alone), is read with the naked eye (unlike Trump, DeSantis does not have such resources and popularity to grow only in the presidential race, so he is completely dependent on the party’s decision on this issue).
By the way, the latest party polls also testify in favor of Trump, who, according to research by Ipsos and Quinnipiac University, is already ahead of DeSantis by 14%!
And this already shows that Trump’s chances of being the Republican candidate are very high. If such a decision is indeed made and Trump will emerge from the Republicans, that is, the rift between Trumpists and the Republicans themselves will be ironed out and the party will act as a united front in support of its candidate, then it is very likely that Biden, who is already losing to Trump in polls , will not shine.
And it can be assumed that yes, if Trump re-enters the White House, then the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will then end in the very near future (Ukraine will not stand idle for long without American support). But at the same time, this means that not the best times will begin for China.
First, Trump himself is very negative about China (let’s not forget that it was during his presidency that a trade war broke out between the two countries). Second, Republicans are far more hateful of China than Democrats. Third, the resolution of the “Ukraine case” will allow the US to focus entirely on its main adversary – China.
In general, with the arrival of Trump, as experience has already shown, it will be very difficult for Xi Jinping. But the whole irony is that he himself will indirectly contribute to this: after all, if China had not distanced itself from Russia along the “Ukrainian path”, events would have developed in exactly the wrong way.
And as a private example, it is unlikely that Vladimir Putin will then announce the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus, giving Trump further and very serious evidence that nuclear war is just around the corner – another trump card in the race for the presidency.
