Why should Putin attack Ukraine? It can do a lot worse
Sorry, but why would Putin invade Ukraine? So far it has always demanded that Ukraine be demilitarized, or rather without a direct NATO presence, as is Finland. It does not want NATO at the borders, which is why the three Baltic republics are enough. He wants buffer states like Belarus and Finland. If it invaded and occupied Ukraine it would not have a buffer state, however it would come into contact with NATO. What sense would it make to invest lives, money and diplomatic credibility and then find ourselves exactly where we are now, with NATO at the gates, but having gambled on the profitable export of gas to Western Europe?
Why invade Ukraine, when it would be enough to send a nice toy like this to Cuba:
This is the Kniatz Oleg is dedicated to Prince Oleg of Kiev (or Novgorod) who ruled Rus, Variant Russia, that is, half Norman half Slavic, in the 10th century. It is a Strategic Nuclear Missile Submarine. Displacement 14,000 tons submerged, 24,000 tons surfaced. Our Todaro-class submarine displaces 1,800 tons. This toy is 170 meters long (the Cavour aircraft carrier is 244 meters long). A beast carrying 20 RSM-56 Bulava strategic intercontinental missiles, each with 10 warheads, with a range of 10,000 km. This ship alone can rain 200 nuclear warheads on the US. The ship, the latest Borel class, entered service in December 2021.
If Putin really wanted to frighten Washington, if he wanted to take revenge on Biden and on NATO which, however, has aircraft armed with nuclear missiles in Turkey, Germany and Italy, he would place this toy in Puerto Caballo, Venezuela, or better still in the port of L 'Havana, a few hundred kilometers from Florida. It could very well keep the submarine submerged a thousand miles off the west or east coast of the United States, but why not put it on display. Among other things, they are vehicles capable of launching even when anchored to the pier. Here, this would be an answer that would really scare Biden.
