It’s been 211 days since the Ukraine war. Russian President Vladimir Putin has brought the Dooms Day Clock closer by dramatically placing bets. It is currently 1 minute and 40 seconds before midnight and could make doom a few seconds closer. Russian President Putin has left all his options open and has even threatened a nuclear attack. His first plan is to build and maintain a three-million-strong army to organize the nation and annex the Ukrainian occupied territories to Russia and hold on to them. These include parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts or some administrative regions.
Panic sign?
The West is seeing the announcement as a sign of panic within Putin. But their thinking may be impractical. They might not be seeing a clear picture. He is looking at the positive side of things which are really confusing. Because Putin’s intention to completely annex the territories he occupied with Russia is clear. A well-planned and massive vote in support of Russia can be conducted at gunpoint, which will put a stamp of legitimacy on Russia’s move. The public also wants the same.

The West and the member states of NATO are mere spectators because they do not have their own soldiers on the battlefield. Russia’s elite are dreaming of selling on the black market billions of dollars of weapons they received from Western countries if Ukraine is defeated. So far, 6,900 NLAWs, javelin, brimstone and other anti-tank weapons, 16,000 artillery rounds, Starstreak anti-air missile launchers and six Stormer vehicles equipped with hundreds of missiles have been sent to Ukraine. More than 30 countries have sent weapons worth $7 billion to Ukraine and they are sending more weapons from above.
Are Western countries fed up with war?
Western countries may make noise, but in reality they are like snakes with out venom and broken teeth. He may riot unnecessarily here and there, but as soon as the 213th day of war comes, he can get bored leaving Ukraine on his own and flee. In this scenario, the prospects for the referendum and people’s votes are in Putin’s favor. No one can guess his mentality about pressing the nuclear button. Yet no one has the courage to try to convince them on this issue. After the nuclear attack, the doomsday clock is just a few moments away. Putin knows what he has to do, his play, only he knows the plot of his play, and the whole world remains captive in his theatre. (Click here to read this article in English)
