For Putin, it is an extreme remedy. Whom the dictator blackmail the nuclear blow and what

It is not only a mobilization, but it is a decision to hold referendums. These are things that are interconnected because Putin has created a formal reason for potential use of tactical nuclear weapons. He threatened this before and could do it earlier, but to create Casus Belli, Putin decided to invent an additional reason for blackmail, which he did. Because without this blackmail, and without attracting additional forces, Putin has other options to stop the situation, to align it, there was no.

The lack of human resources, first of all, motivated and qualified, has become a huge problem for him. Video Day This is the next threat to use nuclear weapons, already clearly articulated in Putin's speech addressed to Washington and Berlin. To Washington, because the Kremlin believes that it is the most influential force that can affect Ukraine's position.

To Berlin, because he is still listened to and a large part of European countries are focused on it, and most importantly, because the Germans, together with the French, still try to play the role of peacekeepers. That is, the event to influence Ukraine and ceases at least offensive operations. Does this blackmail mean that Putin is not ready for nuclear weapons? I wouldn't say so. In my deep conviction, I have not changed my point of view, starting on February 24 - Putin is not crazy, he is mad.

It is absolutely normal in the world in which it lives, but this world is absolutely crazy. Here's a look, in any variant where there is a choice, Putin chooses an escalation of aggression. He had a choice before February 24, he had a choice now - he chooses an escalation. Therefore, unfortunately, the risk of use of at least tactical nuclear weapons is (not strategic, because the blow will be inevitable and scary). But it is for Putin - an extreme remedy.

I think he still hopes that this blackmail will affect Washington, who considers himself responsible for the fate of the world. Putin believes that Washington can tend Kyiv to a more "flexible, peaceful" position, at least stop the offensive where the Armed Forces is being carried out. So far, no public signs that Washington or other Western politicians are not visible for this blackmail. We can not see the signs, usually such things become known after they have already happened.
