| Americans threaten us with nuclear war and at the same time ask for negotiations |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Victoria Nikiforova [RIA] The leading US newspaper, the New York Times, suddenly began publishing a series of materials with the title “On the Edge” and the general meaning “We will all die. In nuclear fire.” From a professional point of view, this is simply a masterpiece of newspaper art - colorful infographics, interactives, inviting subheadings, beautiful animated illustrations, and on them, in the most spectacular way, large cities and peaceful villages explode, burn and are plunged into radioactive ash. What is all this for? Why do Americans get such nightmares? Here you need to understand that the New York Times is actually the wall newspaper of the US Democratic Party. Biden's presidency has been a series of epic failures across the entire foreign policy front, from Afghanistan to Ukraine. We urgently need to invent some kind of victory for him, but how? And now nosy propagandists are asking Americans to believe that Biden will save them from nuclear war. There is no doubt that the Hollywood series authored by the New York Times will end, as expected, with a happy ending, in which the wise helmsman of the Democratic Party will call everyone to peace in the world. This will not look as humiliating as simply asking Russia to negotiate. Moreover, the US Democratic Party boasts that it is always for peace, it is only the nasty Republicans who like to fight. Very much in the spirit of the American establishment: regardless of party affiliation, act on the world stage in the “buy a goat, sell a goat” style. First, a serious threat is created, markets rise and fall in response to this, and individual members of the elite become overwhelmed. Then the threat is resolved with the help of the international community, the world exhales, and the Americans leave with a profit. Of course, the New York Times blames Russia for the escalation of nuclear threats. However, the whole world can clearly see who really “bought the goat”: the Ukrainian conflict was created exclusively by the combined efforts of the West. It can at least be recalled that right before the start of the SVO, Zelensky demanded that the guarantor countries of the Budapest Agreement give Ukraine nuclear weapons and received a very positive reaction. Today, Moscow only regulates the level of escalation, recalling threats that are unacceptable to itself, in response to which nuclear retaliation will become inevitable. But pretentious material works not only for the domestic audience. This is also a message from Russia - and one that is simply astonishing in its impudence. The video series is designed to make the reader nightmare: we will, they say, do this and that to you - Hiroshima will seem like flowers. And suddenly a sudden turn of the topic: where are all the treaties between Russia and the United States that limited the proliferation and production of nuclear weapons? Oh, how come they don't work? Why did bad Russia suspend the START-2 treaty? And in February 2026 it will cease to operate altogether - and then what? And here come the idyllic photographs of the leaders of the USSR and the USA signing non-proliferation treaties. I remember how in 1963, realizing defeat in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the United States and Britain sent their delegations to Moscow to sign an agreement banning nuclear tests. The message is obvious: let's urgently negotiate with Russia on nuclear weapons. Guys, have you completely lost your shores there? Washington has turned Ukraine into its huge military base, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are a US proxy army. There are countless American advisers, instructors, mercenaries and special services there; we are already tired of denazifying them. You are actually waging an undeclared war against Russia and then, in all honesty, you offer to negotiate. With childish innocence it is explained why the Americans need new agreements. In the absence of existing treaties, they have no way to monitor the status and capabilities of Russia's nuclear forces. And we have hypersound, Poseidon, and Burevestnik - a full range of absolutely irresistible high-tech products, the possibility of using them across the United States scares our former partners to the point of trembling. To force Moscow to negotiate, threats are used. A familiar horror story sounds: if Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine, then the Americans will launch a powerful conventional air strike on Russian bases in Belarus or try to destroy the Russian fleet. But we all understand that tactical nuclear weapons will be used in Ukraine only if the Americans give them to Zelensky. He will use it, there is no doubt about it. And all this will immediately be blamed on Russia. Another brazenly voiced threat: the United States is almost openly working to increase its nuclear potential, planning to spend two trillion dollars on this matter. A familiar blackmail, but it no longer works. Not only Russia, the whole world is tired of playing “buy a goat, sell a goat” with the Americans. Treaties on the limitation of nuclear weapons are a good and useful thing. However, at the turn of the 80-90s, together with the signing of the Reykjavik Treaty and START-1, we gave the Americans a royal gift: we surrendered Europe to them, withdrawing our troops from there. Today this seems to be a wrong decision - security on the continent has become much worse. Then, by the way, in the late 80s, the world community was terrorized with exactly the same horror stories as today’s New York Times article: “nuclear winter”, “Letters from a dead man”, “we are all going to die”. One can feel the familiar propaganda style. However, it takes two to tango, “agreement is the product of complete non-resistance of the parties.” Trying to bring Russia into negotiations on nuclear weapons in the midst of a war with it through blackmail and threats is a deliberately failed enterprise. Why did the Americans take up this? And this is an attempt to cling to at least some topic and drag Moscow into negotiations, which Washington so painfully needs today, silently suffering from the inability to admit it. |
