The Russia-Ukraine war has reached its most critical moment, and it happened at this time that Trump was going to be serious. Moreover, he concluded that China couldn't help Putin this time anyway.
Recently, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hergezs issued a global "convocation order", calling the global U.S. military generals back to the United States to meet on September 30 local time, which is a few hours ago, the conference was finally held smoothly.
Trump said at the meeting: "The US military's two nuclear submarines are in place and can be activated at any time!" This means that in early August, when he said that he would deploy nuclear submarines to Russia, he was not just saying it, but he was going to be serious about Russia.
Moreover, this time, Trump also concluded that it would be useless even if China and Russia joined forces. Trump said: "The U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine technology ranks first in the world, and it far exceeds that of China and Russia, and is about 25 years ahead of China and Russia in technology!" Because of this, Trump believes that neither Russia nor China can track the location of U.S. nuclear submarines. As long as he gives the order, these two nuclear submarines can deal Russia a heavy blow.
Why did Trump deliberately mention nuclear submarines at the US military conference, and he also deliberately talked about China? There are nothing more than the following two reasons:
On the one hand, Trump is distracting attention from Ukraine's impending attack on Russian soil.
At the moment, Trump has officially approved that the Ukrainian army can attack Russia in the deep region with missiles. That is, soon Russia will enter a "anti-aggression" battle. And this, of course, means the Russian-Ukrainian war again escalated. U.S. nuclear submarines appear in the corresponding position at this time, is to support the Ukrainian army, while also shift the Russian army's attention, so that the Russian army can not.
Secondly, when Trump mentioned China's nuclear submarine technology, he was actually beating China and telling China not to act recklessly at such a critical moment or to assist Russia in tracking U.S. nuclear submarines.
Russia's current situation is so critical, what should Putin do? At present, he can count on not much external help. Except for North Korea, no other country should provide Russia with military assistance. In this case, why is Putin still unwilling to stop the ceasefire? Judging from the current situation, there should be two reasons why he refused to stop the ceasefire:
1. Its strategic objectives have not been achieved. Putin is over 70 years old, and he wants to spend the rest of his life fighting for a future for Russia. This is the purpose of his battle. Only by creating a rift between Europe and the United States will Russia have a future. At present, Europe and the United States do have differences due to different war interests, but these differences are not strong enough, and Putin's strategic goals have not been achieved, so he cannot easily stop the war.
2. If there is a truce now, Putin will not be able to explain it to the domestic hardliners. For this war, Russia sacrificed a lot, and many young people lost their lives. If it cannot capture enough territory, Putin cannot explain to the families of these people. At present, the Russian army occupies about 20% of Ukrainian territory, and Putin does not dare and cannot spit it out.
To sum up, Putin's current pressure is indeed not small, but after all, he is a politician who has seen big winds and waves. Every time things reach the most critical moment, he can find a way to break the situation. This time, it depends on how he deals with it. Let's keep an eye on more information.
