According to him, the West must learn one simple thing: Russia has the world’s largest arsenal of nuclear weapons and is one of the largest producers of energy and agricultural products. “They have trump cards that make it virtually impossible to endure a direct military defeat,” the expert said.
He believes that Western countries have not been able to soberly assess the opponent. At the same time, Davis sees as a mistake not only the underestimation of the Russian army, but also the determination of President Vladimir Putin to defend the liberated territories.
“It is practically inconceivable that Putin would ever, under any conditions, agree to a deal that returns control of any of the occupied territories to kyiv,” the expert noted.
He also added that the Russian Federation has repeatedly declared its readiness to use nuclear weapons only in the event of a threat of attack on the territory of Russia, which includes new regions.
Recall that Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized that nuclear weapons for Russia are a means of defense, not attack, in connection with which Moscow’s strategy is based on the logic of a “reciprocal attack”. At the same time, the Kremlin noted that the Russian Federation does not refuse to continue negotiations with the United States on arms control.
