The Russian-Ukrainian war has already completed its 849th day,
but this war was not only a confrontation between two sides but
also deepened the intercontinental conflict. We are talking about
the century-old US-Russia cold war. It even literally indicates the
blowing wind of nuclear war.
Yesterday, the harsh response of the Russian Foreign Ministry to
the United States captured many headlines. Thus, Washington, which
tried to oppress Russian diplomats, and moreover, the decision to
close Russian visas in the USA, caused considerable anger in
Moscow. However, in response, Moscow stated in a strict form that
it would take adequate measures against the United States.
But the question is - what made the United States behave
in this way towards Russia?
Of course, any emerging tensions centre on the ongoing Ukraine
issue. However, yesterday Deputy Chairman of the Security Council
of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev's harsh and conservative
speech against the United States caused a reaction from the other
side.
A staunch supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin has
escalated Moscow's aggressive stance towards the United States with
a stark caution.
Medvedev called the US side "nits" and threatened them for their
continued military support to Ukraine. "They should trembled and
shake for what they do," a Russian diplomat said in a
statement.
In addition, Medvedev threatened the other side with his
country's menacing nuclear potential. He said that Moscow's nuclear
arsenal will not be withdrawn until America's support to Kiev
stops. Russia, which is confident in its nuclear power, has already
tried to express that it is quite serious about this issue and is
ready to give a tougher response to the other party.
Will the US step back?
If we look at the policy of the United States of America, we can
observe that it uses more proxy powers. This means that the US does
not go directly to war, and this is quite far from its policy. But
how long will Ukraine, which has already suffered considerable
damage from the war, arm itself against Russia? This question has
already become an abstraction that could change the final decision
for Moscow. Moscow has already targeted several NATO bases in the
Black Sea and Eastern Europe. So, in the conflict, both Eastern
Europe, Ukraine, and the live forces of the United States are under
threat. Ultimately, either Ukraine must be surrendered by the
United States, or the United States must take measures to defend
itself against Moscow's wrath.
The impact of the Russia-NATO conflict on the
surrounding regions
The Moscow-Washington misunderstanding poses serious threats to
the surrounding regions rather than both countries. For example,
the most important of them are European countries. Because the
first target of the nuclear attack, which Russia often mentions, is
the Eastern European border countries, which the USA uses as a
buffer zone. The second tension is related to the Black Sea. This
is one of the seas that many countries consider strategic in terms
of its economic sustenance. If Russia wants to neutralize NATO
forces in the Black Sea, the surrounding countries may also be
affected by this tension. Therefore, as a result of the clash of
two superpowers, it is inevitable that some tension will be felt in
the surrounding regions.
