“The red lines in the West are being erased”: how the world is reacting to Putin’s nuclear blackmail Petro Sinekiy

Dictator Vladimir Putin regularly threatens with its nuclear weapons. However, in the West they are less and less inclined to this blackmail.

About this 24 Channel said Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko, noting that nuclear blackmail from Russia comes in different forms.

How they treat nuclear blackmail in the West

As Yakovenko noted, there are threats that Putin directly expresses. There have already been personal statements from Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. And on Russian television these aggressive threats are heard literally non-stop.

In addition to threats, there are also some actions. Not just rhetoric. For example, when certain exercises take place, as now in Belarus. Or when there is a violation of the airspace of Ukraine or Western countries. This is nothing new. The question is how ready Putin is to cross this line,” Yakovenko noted.

The probability is quite low, because Putin is not a suicide. Mostly all this is ordinary blackmail, which is increasingly believed in in the West. The rhetoric of nuclear threats is less and less achieving its goals.

Red lines in the West are being erased. I think that the story of involving Belarus in nuclear blackmail will also not end in anything. The only thing really serious happening there is provocations with the “migration” of weapons to the borders of Belarus with Poland or Lithuania. And nuclear blackmail, it seems to me, is still a horror story, says Yakovenko.

Nuclear blackmail of Russia: briefly< /h2>

• The other day, dictator Vladimir Putin gave a press conference at one of the Russian forums. There he again threatened with nuclear weapons.
• Putin also reacted to the permission to attack Russia. He brazenly hinted at possible “serious consequences” for Europe.
• Adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak emphasized that dictator Putin does not know how to fight with big countries. He is afraid of NATO. And his press conference was actually dedicated to preventing Ukraine from being given weapons. After all, he does not know how to wage war when the other side has a sufficient amount of high-quality weapons and other capabilities.
