The Russians are deliberately blackmailing the West with nuclear weapons because they have no other leverage. However, the Russian leadership itself is very afraid of the consequences.
This Channel 24 was told by political scientist, sociologist from Germany Igor Eidman. According to him, in the first place, Russia itself does not want to turn into “nuclear ashes”.
Why are the Russians blackmailing the West with a nuclear war
Igor Eidman is convinced that the policy of nuclear blackmail is the mainstream of Russian politics.
Apart from saber-rattling nuclear weapons, they can do nothing,” he stressed.
According to him, the war against Ukraine clearly showed that traditional weapons in Russia are at the level of Soviet times.< /p>
“The West, NATO cannot be frightened by such weapons. The only thing they can threaten is nuclear weapons,” he explained. Putin. However, the policy of nuclear blackmail is not isolated from other parts of Russian politics and life. It is reminiscent of Russians praising Armata tanks, which no one has seen anywhere except parades.
“There is a lot of pathos and show-offs, but in reality everything is already rotten, rusted and not in working condition. And this is one of the reasons why this nuclear blackmail is not successful,” he said.
According to the political scientist, this did not frighten the Western countries, as Putin hoped, but rather strengthened their support for Ukraine.
This story is a failure for films that will promote Western politicians like Boris Johnson: “how brave they are, they withstood Putin's assaults and his blackmail.” For this alone and for nothing else, this blackmail is probably not good, he added.
So Putin's threats will not have any other impact on Western politicians.

Is Russia itself afraid of a nuclear war
Igor Eidman said that Russia itself is definitely not going to have a nuclear war doesn't want to start.
You have to be completely insane to start a nuclear war. They have completely different plans for life,” he explained.
According to him, the Russians do not plan for everything that they have accumulated all their lives to turn into one nuclear ashes.
Probably, the Russian leadership wants to create a new nobility that will lead the state for a century ahead.
“They have estates, they have left just enroll people there. And then the new nobility is ready,” he added.
Such statements by Russia are hopelessness.
“Margarita Simonyan said this rather boldly, which was unexpected from her. They believe that if they give back, then the West and Ukraine, respectively, will not back away, but they will continue to put pressure on them,” the political scientist emphasized.
In his opinion, the Russians are afraid to stop and give up their positions, because this means signing their own professional unsuitability.
< p class="bloquote cke-markup" dir="ltr">To lose this war for them is to lose power, and this means the loss of freedom and, perhaps, even life, he focused.
So they continue, despite everything, to try to somehow then “bite” into Ukrainian positions.
