Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that lifting the ban on U.S. long-range missiles for Ukraine could lead to a direct conflict between NATO and Russia. Putin’s warning highlights the serious risk of nuclear escalation if such policies are pursued.
The Biden administration is considering whether to provide Ukraine with advanced missiles to strike targets within Russia. Putin has made it clear that if these restrictions are removed, Russia will view it as an act of war by NATO, which could result in nuclear retaliation.
Russia’s nuclear arsenal, the largest in the world, may be used if the situation escalates. The U.S., with the second-largest stockpile, also faces significant risks. The recent joint military exercises between Russia and China add to the complexity, indicating a growing military alliance.
President Biden’s commitment to supporting Ukraine, including his statement that “it’s clear that Putin will not prevail in this war,” might provoke Russia. The advanced hypersonic technology held by Russia further exacerbates the risk of nuclear escalation.
The Biden administration’s actions could lead to dangerous global consequences. The international community must carefully consider the potential for escalating tensions with a nuclear-armed Russia.
As the situation continues to develop, the potential for a catastrophic conflict involving Western nations remains a serious concern. The Biden administration’s policies could have profound and dangerous effects on global stability.
