If Ukraine joins NATO or anyone tries to take Crimea by force, NATO will be dragged into a war that no one will win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Most rational people agree that a nuclear war &#8220;cannot be won and must never be fought.&#8217; Yet President Putin explicitly said NATO would be dragged into a war that <strong>&#8220;no one will win.&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0 <strong>That means nuclear.\u00a0 No other interpretation is possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Another translation puts it this way: &#8220;If Ukraine joins NATO and tries to take back Crimea by force, then NATO member states will be dragged into a war with Russia!

There is a problem: European countries, including France, believe that Crimea, let&#8217;s say, is Ukraine, while we believe it is part of the Russian Federation. And if attempts are made to change this situation militarily, and Ukraine&#8217;s doctrinal documents spell out that:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a) Russia is the enemy,<\/li>\n<li>b) the return of Crimea by military means is possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Imagine that Ukraine is a member of NATO, the fifth article has not been repealed, on the contrary, Mr. Biden recently said that the fifth article is absolutely imperative and will be enforced. <strong>So there will be a military confrontation between Russia and NATO&#8230; do we have to go to war with NATO?&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; Putin said at a news conference after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian president added that there is a second part to the question, <strong>&#8220;Do you want to go to war with Russia?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So the world now knows the real stakes of the troubles taking place in Ukraine: nuclear war.\u00a0 \u00a0It came directly from the mouth of the Russian president.\u00a0 Here it is, on video, in original Russian language:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NWofn2cLfhU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/halturnerradioshow.com\/index.php\/en\/news-page\/world\/putin-press-conference-makes-nuclear-war-clear-if-ukraine-joins-nato-or-anyone-tries-to-take-crimea-by-force\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Addressing reporters at a joint press conference with President Macron, President Putin asked: \u201cDo you want to go to war with Russia\u201d?
