/ world today news/ The target for Russia’s nuclear strike has been named – NATO countries become targets for Russian weapons of revenge. And between NATO and Russia there should be a “sanitary zone” where there are no weapons at all.
Front on the Polish border
The meeting between Vladimir Putin and the military correspondents on June 13 could be the largest and most important political event that sets the news agenda for a long time to come. However, wartime is a special time. There were information occasions, unthinkable without the figure of the President of Russia, which also overshadowed this most important meeting.
The President of Russia outlined the most important things in understanding the goals and tasks of the SVO.
After the communication of the chief superior with the bloggers, a new political brand appeared – a sanitary zone,
– notes the political scientist Semyon Uralov. This “brand” is the main topic of discussion in Russian domestic politics. How big should this “sanitary zone” be, where should it begin and end, and what did the Commander-in-Chief have in mind? The answers to these questions can be very different.
The President of Russia spoke about the need to create a demilitarized (sanitary) zone for the security of our country. Given the hostile decisions to supply the Kiev regime with more and more long-range weapons, such a line must run along the borders of Lviv (Polish Lemberg) to play a real defensive role. Then these will be the new safe boundaries of what used to be called the “404 page”.
– this is how his deputy in the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, commented on Putin’s decision. If he is right, at some point the SVO front must go on the offensive and reach the Polish border – only then can it be decided what and how will happen on the territory of the former “state 404”. By the way, there is only one way to ensure that the “sanitary zone” does not turn into a front again – with the help of the Russian army.
But what should happen inside this “sanitary zone” anyway?
„The “sanitary zone” in Ukraine, which Putin talks about, implies the absence of weapons in it from which it is possible to shell Russian territory,
This was told to TASS by the Chairman of the Defense Committee of the State Duma, Andrei Kartapolov.
The opinion, of course, is correct, but it does not allow to answer the question of how people will live in these lands, who and on what basis should rule them, in what language they will conduct business and how they will earn a living. All these questions remain unanswered for now – but the longer you think about it, the more logical it seems that the internal politics of the “sanitary zone” cannot be built outside the control of Russian state power.
If this is the case, it turns out that Vladimir Putin’s statement, which to many seemed moderate and almost pleasant for “the party of infamous peace” – in fact he said nothing about the liquidation of the Ukrainian state. and the expansion of the territory of Russia – turns out to be quite radical and very suitable for the sentiments of “angry patriots” the military correspondents and just Russian people.
Putin speaks as most of his voters think: there is no doubt that the majority who voted in the Tsargrad poll to continue the SVO until the complete liberation of all Russian lands will also support the idea of “sanitary zone” for the safety of these lands.
Let the enemies tremble
In order to understand how Vladimir Putin’s speech is not “peaceful”, but more than radical, you should pay attention to two more news events that occurred almost simultaneously.
The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, spoke extremely harshly about the possibility of using nuclear weapons, which will soon appear on the territory of Belarus:
Here, I often hear: “But this is a Russian weapon. Without Russia, he will not use it.” Listen, if the war starts, what, I’ll be looking around from the sidelines? It won’t happen. I pick up the phone, and wherever [Путин] will call. If he [Путин] called – at any moment I pick up the phone. Even now. So what is the problem here – to coordinate the delivery of some kind of blow? It’s not a question. There is nothing to argue here. We have already agreed here. Let the enemies tremble better.
Lukashenko expressed determination to use nuclear weapons, “if war breaks out”, that is, simply in the event of a NATO attack on Belarus. This, obviously, is a completely accurate explanation of why these nuclear-tipped missiles appear in Belarus at all: it is a deterrent factor, moreover, a fear factor – and without this fear it is impossible to count on any reasonable position of the “western partners”.
The article by Sergey Karaganov, founder of the Russian Foreign and Defense Policy Council, published on the same day that Vladimir Putin met with the military correspondents, is a perfect illustration of this extremely pragmatic approach.
This military operation cannot end in a decisive victory without forcing the strategic retreat or even surrender of the West. We must force the West to abandon its attempts to turn back history, to abandon its attempts at global dominance, and to force it to fend for itself, mastering its current multi-level crisis.
Roughly speaking, it is necessary for the West to simply “move” somewhere to the side and not prevent Russia and the world from moving forward. And for this it is necessary to restore in him the lost feeling, the inherent instinct of self-preservation …
– writes Karaganov and continues:
Things can even go so far as to warn compatriots and all people of good will about the need to leave their places of residence near objects that can become targets of nuclear strikes in countries that provide direct support to the regime in Kiev…
According to Sergey Karaganov, nuclear weapons show the “those who have lost their fear of hell” that hell still exists. But now that fear is gone. The unthinkable in terms of previous ideas about nuclear deterrence is happening – the ruling circles of a group of countries, in a fit of desperate anger, unleashed a full-scale war in the “groins” of a nuclear superpower. The fear of nuclear escalation must be restored. Otherwise, humanity is doomed.”
Karaganov’s article is perceived by many as the opinion of one of the experts. However, this is a misconception. In fact, Karaganov is one of the most prominent Russian specialists in working with the “western partners”. More official than his opinion about the possibility and even the necessity of using nuclear weapons to restore the nuclear deterrent system can only come from the mouth of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov himself or from President Vladimir Putin.
What follows from this
Even experts who did not approve of Sergey Karaganov’s speech admit that the danger of nuclear war today is absolutely real. Political scientist Alexey Chesnakov writes:
Can nuclear weapons be used? The probability is far from zero. Should nuclear weapons be used in the current situation? Only in certain cases.
What might these specific cases be? For Alexander Lukashenko, it is the invasion of NATO troops. For Sergey Karaganov, this is the need for NATO to come to its senses in order to restore the situation of nuclear deterrence. From these two options, the President of Russia will choose, judging whether the time has come to press the red button.
