In fact, the only thing left for the Kremlin aggressor after the wooden Iranian drones - like a grotesque memorial service for the great Russian military-industrial complex – it is his nuclear blackmail.
Naturally, no one knows what is in the head of this geostrategic maniac and geopolitical cyclophrenic. But it's a fact - his nuclear blackmail works. And this portends nightmarishly difficult days for Ukraine, Europe, the West and the world as a whole.
Now the West is telling itself - it is not worth it to oppose the Kremlin aggressor armed with nuclear weapons too much and risk world peace and ours, the Western world, for the sake of Ukrainian Kherson.
Then the West, following the same logic, will tell itself - it is not worth it to oppose the Kremlin aggressor armed with nuclear weapons too much and risk world peace and ours, the Western world, for the sake of Belarusian Baranovichi.
After that, the West, following the same logic, will tell itself - it is not worth it to oppose too much the Kremlin aggressor armed with nuclear weapons and risk world peace and ours, the Western world, for the sake of Moldovan Tiraspol.
Later, the West, following the same logic, will tell itself - it is not worth it to oppose too much the Kremlin aggressor armed with nuclear weapons and risk world peace and ours, the Western world, for the sake of Estonian Tartu.
The time will come and the West, following the same logic, will say to itself - it is not worth it to oppose too much the Kremlin aggressor armed with nuclear weapons and risk world peace and ours, the Western world, for the sake of Bulgarian Shumen.
Thus, the day will come when the West, by the same logic, will say to itself - it is not worth it to oppose too much the Kremlin aggressor armed with nuclear weapons and risk world peace and ours, the Western world, for the sake of Polish Bialystok.
But then it will be very late, too late, dangerously late, fatally late...
The nuclear blackmail of the Kremlin aggressor succeeds so far for two reasons.
The first reason is that the West does not want to disturb its comfort and, as a collective Chamberlain, pursues a policy of appeasing the aggressor with concessions, believing, or rather preferring to deceive itself, that each subsequent concession is the last, that it will satisfy the aggressor and he will calm down.
The second reason is that the West believes in this nuclear blackmail and that the Kremlin aggressor will indeed resort to nuclear strikes. This may be a sincere belief in the possibility of such strikes by the aggressor, but it may also be a self-deceptive pretext for the West to eventually succumb to the predatory will of the aggressor.
The true, correct, precise and adequate policy of the West is different, and it also has two sides, two dimensions.
The first dimension is for the West to understand that the Kremlin's aggressor must be stopped as soon as possible. The saying does not apply here: Better late than never. Here another applies - Better early than late. Because this "late" will be fatally late.
The West must accelerate the arming of Ukraine with all the necessary and modern conventional weapons. And also with everything necessary to facilitate the preparation for the winter of Ukraine and Ukrainians. And the West must do it immediately. Not even today, but yesterday!
The second dimension is that the West should stop paying attention to the nuclear blackmail of the Kremlin aggressor. Blackmail becomes meaningless when you stop believing in it. And stop being afraid of him.
If the West stops believing in the nonsense and hysterics about the nuclear blackmail of the Kremlin aggressor, then the West will make this blackmail not inevitable, but impossible.
But even if the Kremlin aggressor nevertheless decides to launch a nuclear strike, this will not be the beginning of a new phase of the war, but its end. The end of the Kremlin aggressor himself.
