The Option of Nuclear War for Russians

We can understand that there is a nagging feeling in the hearts of Russian leaders who are reminded of the sprawling area of 22.4 lakh hectares that the U.S.S.R. enjoyed 30 years ago, which spread far and wide to Europe and Middle Asia sub-continents, whereas the present-day area of Russia is 17.1 lakh sq. km.

which is spread to Europe and Eastern as well as Northern Asia. The Russians tried to consolidate this position by forming Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Collective Securities Treaties Organisation (CSTO), which has 6 members, but both these organisations could not succeed. So long as there is a boundary dispute between the member countries, no organisation can succeed. Nor is the success possible till the superpower organisation keeps meddling in the internal politics of other member countries. What did the Russia do in Belarus exactly?

Aleksandr Lukashenko was made president in the 2020 elections by way of interference, but today, the Russian forces are deployed there in the name of security. Actually, Russia wants a passage to the Baltic Sea so that it is in a position to enter Europe at will and it can encircle Europe with the help of Baltic Sea and Black Sea. Even our country constituted the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation in 1985, but it did not succeed to the extent it should have been. Mutual boundary disputes are a big problem which can be only solved when the countries involved in the dispute have stable governments that enjoy two-third majority and will.

Three organizations in the world are most successful — North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), European Union (EU), and the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Amongst these, European Union and NATO are indirectly led by the United States, whereas OPEC is led by Saudi Arabia. Russian is required to make an organisation of the above types as it had earlier formed, such as the Warsaw Pact and The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon). Moreover, Russia should stop interfering in the internal politics of its friendly countries. Only then it will be able to counter the United States and its own adversaries. The use of nuclear weapons will push back Russia and Europe by 50 years.
