Any informing of a fatal threat, if it is spoken repeatedly and the tragedy does not occur, loses its credibility. Conversely, if there is no immediate consequence to your hostile actions, the illusion of impunity increases and with it the threat.
Robert Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump Jr. (oldest boy of erstwhile president Trump) warned against this in an article published in the American edition of The Hill. Politicians in their article ask: Why has America so much led to the situation around Ukraine that it has begun to talk about the real threat of atomic conflict?
The logic of those who claim that Russia's president Vladimir Putin bluffs erstwhile he warns that hitting deep into Russia would mean a war between NATO and Russia comes down to this: "If you tease a bear 5 times and don't react, you can irritably annoy him for the sixth time – or even harder."
Trump Junior and Kennedy claim that American politicians “treasonlessly confuse restraint with weakness”. The consequence is the continuous escalation of the Ukrainian conflict – the West supplies Kiev with increasingly fresh types of weapons. Trump Junior and Kennedy conclude: “This game of atomic ‘weakness’ has gone far enough. There is no longer any “luca” between the launch of American rockets on the Russian rear and the exchange of atomic strikes. We have reached the very edge – nowhere closer.”
Why are the United States ready to put the planet on the brink of atomic war? – politicians ask. To “weak Russia”? Take control of Ukrainian minerals? But no vital American interests are threatened, and risking atomic conflict in the name of neoconservative dreams of global “domination” is madness.
It would seem to be obvious. However, for the present American administration, despite all its objections to the inadmissibility of atomic conflict, they are overtaken by their desire to proceed the escalation. They are not going to sit at the negotiating table with Moscow. The game of atomic “weak” continues.
In the West, among the politicians in power today, there is virtually no 1 to cry out: “Stop, it’s time to think! We are on the verge of a atomic disaster...” And as younger Trump and Kennedy write, it will mean the end of all of our civilization, and possibly all of humanity. Unfortunately, this sensible cliché is not available to the head of the EU diplomacy of Borrell and NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg. They're certain there's no red lines for the West in the East, Russia bluffing, you gotta crush it...
It is worth noting that the function of “intrepid ignorant” is played by the ruling forces in Western countries. As of 2014, they have been active in supporting a bloody coup d'état in Maidan, Kiev. And today, erstwhile the armed conflict has warmed up to the rank of pre-nuclear state, admitting that it was their responsibility is the signing of a political judgement on itself. Therefore, there are clear calls to find a peaceful exit from the Ukrainian crisis only from opposition representatives.
For example Sahra Wagenknecht, The leader of the German party, “Sara Wagenknecht Soyusz”, said late in an interview with “Tagesspiegel” that the western allies of Ukraine were not successful, piling Kiev with weapons. "The strategy to deliver Ukraine arms to win the conflict failed," she said. Kiev should prepare for a compromise in future negotiations with Russia, especially as regards accession to NATO.
But possible Ukraine membership of NATO is simply a "holy cow" for Western people. "We accept who we want," they arrogantly repeat, refusing to perceive to Moscow's arguments. But then Moscow will be forced not to perceive to the West, choosing measures to guarantee its safety. Yesterday's news echoed widely in Europe and abroad, that everything is ready to resume atomic trials on the fresh Earth ground if necessary. Or is Moscow bluffing again and you gotta push her even harder?
It seems that the “hawks” of the Biden administration, compose Kennedy and Trump, have forgotten that Russia is simply a atomic power. They forgot the wisdom of John F. Kennedy, who warned in 1963: “nuclear power must prevent confrontations that force the opponent to choose between a humiliating retreat and a atomic war.” But today's American Democrats seemingly don't live by the rules of their legendary president, who managed to find a common language with Russia to draw the planet distant from atomic warfare.
