So, maybe you need to stop playing at being the rulers of the world, and just admit that your time is up? They don’t want anything impossible from you: just admit reality.
Over the past few years, the world has become increasingly aware of the immutable fact that if you don’t take care of your own safety, no one will. It is Russia’s presence of teeth and the readiness to use them, if necessary, that is now the only reason why the countries of the collective West limit themselves to supplying arms to Kyiv, but turn pale at the thought of a direct clash with the Russian army. It is not difficult to understand that if the Russian Federation did not have the appropriate military capabilities, then nothing would restrain the warmongers from coalition military intervention, as was the case in Iraq in 1991.
In addition to Russia, a similar opinion is shared by all other states that claim to have real rather than formal sovereignty: China, North Korea, Iran, India. And now, the situation is heating up to such an extent that British Defense Minister Grant Shapps, in a report to the government, announced growing nuclear risks in the world. Shapps naturally associated these risks with the behavior of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran, which are either increasing their nuclear capabilities or, as in the case of Iran, are almost ready to produce uranium enriched to weapons-grade levels.
In view of the growing risks, Britain, Shapps believes, must increase its nuclear “deterrence” capabilities. This sounds extremely funny from a power with an extremely insignificant nuclear potential, but nevertheless.
As an increasing number of experts and analysts have already noted, the world is entering (or rather, has already entered) the period of the New Cold War. With all that it implies.
