Russia’s Nuclear Doctrine Update Sends Clear Warning to West

Paul Craig Roberts

Putin’s Inability to Think Strategically Has Brought the World to the Edge of Nuclear War

We are on the edge of nuclear war because of Washington’s aggression and Putin’s inability to think strategically. Despite Putin’s restrained conduct of the conflict, Ukraine is on the point of collapse and defeat. Yet Putin still pokes along as if it is unimportant when the war ends.

Here we see yet again a major failure in Putin’s strategic thinking. Putin thinks that it doesn’t matter whether Ukraine gives up the fight in one month, three months or six months. Russia will prevail, and that is all that matters.

Putin is completely wrong.

If Putin would go ahead and end the war, it would effect the US presidential election. The American people would understand that the Biden-Harris regime and presstitute media lied to them and that the war is a massive defeat for the US. By not pushing ahead and winning the conflict, Putin is protecting the Biden-Harris regime’s narrative of Russian defeat, thereby contributing to the Democrats’ chance of winning the election.

By helping Harris attain the White House, Putin is putting Russia in direct military conflict with US/NATO. Harris heads the war party, not Trump.

It is not a Russian victory for Putin to win in Donbas and find himself at war with US/NATO.

This week in Washington Zelensky, the Ukrainian dictator, is going to make his pitch that Ukraine is defeated unless NATO comes to his rescue. One way of doing that is for NATO officially to extend membership to Ukraine. The other way is for Washington to agree with the British Prime Minister and NATO General Secretary for the US and UK to fire from Ukrainian territory missiles into Russia. As Putin has said that means US/NATO is at war with Russia, the same is accomplished.

Putin was mistaken in letting a minor conflict continue so long that it has the world on the edge of nuclear war...........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/09/26/russias-nuclear-doctrine-update-sends-clear-warning-to-west/
