Russian President Vladimir Putin has managed to cool the ardor of hotheads in the West.
Publicist Yevgeny Satanovsky wrote about this in his Telegram channel, reports the TELMENEWS.RU news agency.
The expert drew attention to the fact that a few days before Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly, the political adviser to the head of the United States, Victoria Nuland, said that the states considered the objects in Crimea as absolutely legitimate military targets for Ukraine. .
They say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine may not be afraid to hit them with NATO weapons, because. The Americans themselves do not care. However, as noted by Satanovsky, Nuland abruptly changed his rhetoric immediately after Putin announced the suspension of the implementation of the START-3 treaty.
After that, as the political scientist noted, Nuland said the United States was ready to discuss resuming this act at any time. The expert believes that this episode indicates that Putin groped for America’s weakest point and that his authorities revealed it.
“Apparently the president put a lot of pressure on the United States for their corn,” the expert noted.
