Frightful Russian weapon

Putin often scares the West with some new wunderwaffe that will have no analogues and will destroy either Washington or half the world at once. But it immediately has some kind of failure. Sometimes it doesn't fly, sometimes it doesn't explode...

There is one secret and frightful weapon that Putin does have. This is Dmitry Medvedev. Yes. That same dwarf alcoholic.

More precisely, he is a personification of Russian doomsday weapons. A crazy Russian official who can press the red button in drunkenness. And he constantly reminds everyone about it. See. I'm so crazy I can.

And every time the West can step up support, but conventional Scholz or Macron falters, they unleash this Kraken that starts brandishing nuclear weapons. Knowing that if Western leaders see even a 1 percent chance of nuclear war, they won't risk it.

"Every time the West can step up support, but conventional Scholz or Macron falters, they unleash this Kraken that starts brandishing nuclear weapons."

And now. On the eve of Ramstein, where Ukraine received another portion of aid and hope for very powerful weapons, a decision about which has not yet been made, they released Medvedev again. Who again emphasized that if Russia loses, then "the whole world is in ruins."

Does it work? Let's see. There are fears in the West. It definitely held back support until then. And indeed Scholz is hesitating. And no matter how contemptuously Kremlin elders talk about Davos, they listen to every word. And they hear everything. Including Boris Johnson's great jokes. Including demands of Republicans, who, having pushed Trump to the sidelines, are already putting pressure on Biden not about "why do we spend money on Ukraine", but precisely "why is there so little aid to Ukraine?" And they are jealous. Remembering other days in Davos when they were in leading roles. But they analyse. And when they see risks, they try to fight them. Diplomacy no longer works. They have not heard of soft power. And they release Kraken-Medvedev.

And this means that they are afraid. At the risk of even irritating China, they remind us again and again about nuclear weapons and the impossibility of losing. They are afraid of German tanks in the steppes of Ukraine. American missiles.

Will this work? Will Scholz decide that it is necessary to turn down the heat a little and cook Russia on a lower flame? We will see soon.

The good news is that public pressure is still working and Ukraine will receive these tanks sooner or later. But time is important. And so let's hope that Kraken-Medvedev will frighten the West less and less each time...

Russia can no longer scare the world with gas weapons. Gas has already fallen to 600 dollars, laughing at the prophecies of 5000. Russia cannot be intimidated by its army, which is publicly laughed at by retired NATO generals. And Russia continues to use its latest wunderwaffe - Dmitry "dwarf alcoholic" Medvedev. And sooner or later he also has to stop scaring others.
