In the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump got what he feared. After receiving permission from US President Joe Biden, Ukraine attacked Russia with ATA KMS rockets and claimed to have blown up Putin’s weapons depot. After this attack on Ukraine, the fear of retaliation from Russia has increased the heartbeats of the world.
Putin had promised that if the Atacamas missile was fired, he could launch a major attack on Ukraine as well as NATO. Meanwhile, Russia has changed its nuclear doctrine, meaning it has weakened or reduced its limits and parameters for the use of nuclear weapons. New developments in the Ukraine-Russia war threaten to trigger World War III.
What changes in atomic theory?
In fact, according to the nuclear-for-Russia theory, if a non-nuclear country attacks with the support of a nuclear-armed country, it will be considered a war against Russia and in such a situation nuclear weapons can be used. According to this new rule, an attack on Russia by a country that is a member of a group will be considered an attack on Russia by the entire group. That is, if one NATO country attacks Russia, it will be considered as an attack on Russia by the entire NATO.
If a ballistic missile is used against Russia, a nuclear attack can be done in response. Putin’s move is being hailed as critical after the US allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS ballistic missiles.
Did Biden raise tensions as he left?
Indeed, in a major policy shift, the Biden administration authorized Ukraine for the first time to use US-made ATACMS missiles to strike targets inside Russia. Russia has expressed strong displeasure over this. The Kremlin vowed to defeat Ukraine on Tuesday, saying Western support for Kiev would have no impact on the conflict and that Western aid ‘cannot affect the outcome of our operation’. It is ongoing, and will be completed.
The war between Russia and Ukraine is the deadliest war Europe has seen since World War II. Since the beginning of this war, more than a million people have been killed or seriously injured. It has been 1000 days since this war started and there is still no hope of its ending.
