Russia – The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is still not over. However, there is something that successfully surprised NATO; the information from a former US defense minister who said Russia will use nuclear to destroy Ukraine.
If Russia does this, then World War III is likely to happen. And, the dispute between the United States and China over the Taiwan issue.
Many foreign officials are concerned about the possibility that Russia will use nuclear weapons to attack Ukraine. However, this was immediately denied by the Russian government.
In December last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed that Russia would not use nuclear weapons. Unless there is a nuclear attack on Russian territory.
In addition, White emphasized that other parties should not use nukes to attack Russia, if they do not want to retaliate. If this happens, then World War III seems to be imminent.
On a separate occasion, Putin's crony and Security Council Deputy Dmitry Medvedev had threatened to launch a nuclear war if Russia lost in Ukraine.
"The defeat of a nuclear power in a conventional war can trigger the outbreak of a nuclear war. Nuclear states will not lose in a major conflict where trust in them is at stake," Medvedev said in January on Telegram.
