Putin Isn’t Bluffing. Here’s How I Know.
The Russian President has followed through on every threat he has made so far.
Many in the West are pushing for the United States to give the “green light” for Ukraine to use Western technology and Western weapons to strike at targets deep in Russian territory.
This is a dangerous proposition, and one which, if realised, could very easily lead to a nuclear World War.
The false narrative of Putin’s “redlines”
The warmongering psychopaths pushing to let Ukraine attack deep inside Russia usually base their arguments on a made-up “fact” that the West has already overstepped several of Putin’s “redlines” and nothing has happened.
This is a dangerously false argument. The so-called “redlines” cited were never Russian ones, but rather self-imposed limits set by the Western powers themselves.
Crying wolf: Biden’s fear mongering about WWIII
Almost immediately after the Russians launched their “Special Military Operation”, the Biden Administration started fear mongering about WWIII. President Joe Biden himself constantly invoked the spectre of “nuclear Armageddon” and claimed repeatedly that the world was the closest it had been to nuclear war since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
By October 2022, Biden’s warnings about nuclear world war were even part of his standard fundraising speech:
Biden veered into talk about Ukraine at the end of his standard fundraising remarks, saying that Putin was “not joking when he talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons…”
Biden’s fear-mongering was no doubt just a lame attempt to compare himself favourably to John F. Kennedy, but the months and months of rhetoric about the “madman Putin” resorting to nukes left everyone on edge — and enticed everyone to start using their imagination as to what single step would be the one to trigger Putin to launch his nukes.
