Putin holds his finger on the "red button": why is the nuclear blow to the Russian Federation - The Telegraph
Russia is trying to find out the reaction of the North Atlantic Alliance to provocations from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the analytics Rebecca Coffler wrote on the portal of the media The Telegraph. Another goal of Moscow is to reduce the sensitivity of Europeans to similar actions of Russians. In addition, Putin appeared in military uniform during the Maneuvers "West-2025", and this should also give a sign of the event.
The analytics believes that the nuclear strike of the Russian Federation is quite possible, although they do not believe in the West. In the article "Putin holds his finger on a nuclear trigger. The risk of the accident is a huge" Capffler lists the threatening signs that the Kremlin gives: planes over Estonia, drones over Romania and Poland, Putin in the form of nuclear maneuvers.
Putin, who took part in the Western 2025 events, which mimic the nuclear strike, attracted special attention to the analytics. It is explained that in this way the Russian leader learned to "push the red button" to be psychologically ready to do it when the time came. As an argument, the analytics gave data on similar training of the Secretary General of the USSR Leonid Brezhnev (1966-1982), which "shaken finger" in a similar training situation.
"This does not mean that Putin is eager to lower the trigger. He does not want a nuclear war. Coffman believes that the Russian Federation and the United States do not contact or exchange the information necessary for nuclear security. Meanwhile, Moscow really prepares troops for nuclear confrontation: the creation of appropriate small warheads, conduct training and has already transferred the strength to the regime of combat duty on February 27, 2022.
At the same time, Western politicians from time to time declare the intention to defeat the Russian Federation and displace Putin: according to analytics, it is inadvertently because it causes new fears of the Kremlin. "The most important thing is that there is no confidence between NATO and Russia. NATO is afraid of Russia's attack on one of its Member States, which will lead to the work of Article 5 on collective defense, especially if Ukraine is falling," the article said.
In addition, Coffman was mentioned another analogy, the threat of shaking through the fog of war. The incident happened in the 1980s, when, through the military exercises of NATO "ABLE Archer 83", the USSR was actually preparing to press the "Red button". "The interpretation of the intentions of leadership is difficult in essence. Not every order can be intercepted, and not every intelligence indicator can be observed.
Confusion and mistakes, as a consequence of the proverb" fog of war "are standard attributes of armed conflict. The probability that in such conditions, the" pressure "will be admitted to the extent. It should be noted that on September 22, Putin spoke at the Russian Council and spoke on a medium -range missile restriction agreement concluded with the United States.
The Kremlin head stated that there was trust between the Russian Federation and the US as owners of nuclear weapons, and assured that he would strike if he saw the problem. Meanwhile, from September 10 to September 23, there were four incidents related to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. At first, on September 10, Poland was attacked by 23 Russian drones, some of which flew towards Rzeszuwa Airport, which unloaded military assistance to Ukraine.
After that, the incident took place in the sky above Estonia: three Mig-31 of the Russian Federation flew over the territory of a foreign country for 12 minutes. At the same time, there was a flight of Russian fighters over the Polish vessel. In addition, on the night of September 22 to 23, a group of unknown UAVs was noticed near Oslo and Copenhagen Airports: they were closed, and dozens of aircraft were planted elsewhere.
