In my previous blog entry I wrote that,
"The danger is that Putin has now embarked upon 'reckless' behaviour, tantamount to precipitating WW3 and dragging the world down with him. No wonder France is quietly preparing its hospitals for the possibility of a wider conflict." (blog entry: 14 September 2025)
And now, as reported by Bryony Gooch (left).
"The Kremlin issued a sharp warning to Nato when it said the alliance was “fighting against Russia” and was “de facto involved” in the war in Ukraine.
Yet as Russia sends drones into Poland and Romania and organises drills with Belarus (cf: video below), experts say that Putin is testing Nato’s response through its more aggressive movements past Ukrainian borders." (The Independent on MSN: 17 September 2025) (my emphasis)
"Ukraine anticipates a substantial $3.5 billion by next month for a critical fund to procure US weapons, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Wednesday, bolstering its protracted fight against Russia’s full-scale invasion.
…
Meanwhile, a US-Ukraine fund devised to spur investments in the Ukrainian mineral sector is set to launch with $150 million of seed capital, senior Ukrainian officials said Wednesday. (The Independent on MSN: 18 September 2025) (my emphasis)
"Brussels is preparing ways to use Russia’s frozen assets to back €170bn of “reparation loans” to Ukraine, a move that would transform Kyiv’s finances but risk a major confrontation with Moscow.
…
Washington has also been pressing its allies to tap Russia’s underlying assets, not just the profits that have been used to underwrite a $50bn loan to Ukraine last year. The G7 should “consider seizing (or otherwise use) the [Russian sovereign assets] principal innovatively to fund Ukraine’s defence”, according to a US note circulated to G7 members and seen by the Financial Times. (Financial Times: 17 September 2025) (my emphasis)
And on the 'hardware' side, Yuliia Dysa, Mike Stone and Jonathan Landay report that,
" Ukraine will receive missiles for Patriot air defence systems and HIMARS rocket launchers in the first batch of weapons being sent under a new funding programme agreed by the U.S. and Ukraine's European allies, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday.
…
NATO allies hope to provide $10 billion in arms for Ukraine. The first two batches, worth $500 million each, will "definitely include missiles for Patriot and HIMARS," Zelenskiy said at a joint press conference with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola in Kyiv on Wednesday. (Reuters: 17 September 2025) (my emphasis)
Demented Putin's saturated bombardment of Ukraine's civilians with drones and missiles will soon have to contend with Patriot and HIMARS blowing them out of the sky before they reach their targets.
The Zapad 'war games' in Belarus of Putin and Lukashenko now take on a more ominous threat from Putin.
Putin simply cannot confront the military 'hardware' of NATO.
The Zapad 'war games' now taking place in Belarus signifies a more dangerous threat of 'nuclear war' between Putin's Russia and NATO.
As I reported on in my blog entry of the 28 April 2024,
"Underscoring Putin manically determined to bomb the
people of Ukraine into submission, John Varga also reports that,
"Vladimir Putin's closest ally [Belarus president Lukashenko (left)] raised the spectre of an impending nuclear armageddon after revealing his country now possessed "several dozen" Russian nukes.
The shocking news has prompted Nato to scramble to put its nuclear forces on full alert, after Belarus' murderous tyrant warned a major confrontation with the West could end in an atomic "apocalypse". (Express : 27 April 2024) (my emphasis) (blog entry: 28 April 2024)
Furthermore, let us recall that in my blog entry (18 September 2024) I reported that,
"And once again Putin, via his Belarus puppet Lukashenko, is threatening 'nuclear war' by invoking the Putin mantra about NATO involvement in his war with Ukraine.
As reported by John Dunne,
"Belarus leader Aleksandr Lukashenko has again warned of nuclear war and has deployed troops along the length of his country’s border with Ukraine. (right: Lukashenko and Putin)
He has regularly suggested that WW3 could be triggered if Ukraine’s western allies becoming even more embroiled in Ukraine’s battle against Russia.
...
"If they send NATO troops [to Ukraine], this will start WW3." (London Evening Standard: 18 August 2024) (my emphasis) (blog entry: 18 September 2024)
And pushing Putin further towards the brink of a 'nuclear' confrontation with NATO, Konstantin Samoilov (left) reports in the video below that,
"Russia's Central Bank just switched to emergency mode with a key Rate cut. Debt service cost is spiking, fuel shortages are spreading to new regions, and oil revenues and tax intake keeps shrinking. Even officials now admit the economy is in trouble.
The countdown to Russia's economic armageddon has begun" (Inside Russia: 18 September 2025) (my emphasis)
Added to which, as Konstantin Samoilov also reports,
"Every September Russian state TV usually drowns you in harvest bragging. Record wheat, bumper corn, smiling ministers, perfect charts; Russia is usually the breadbasket, right? Not this September. (video below) ( Inside Russia: 16 September 2025) (my emphasis)
It is therefore, without a doubt, that Putin is nervously shaking his WW3 'nuclear war' fist during the Zapad 'war games' against NATO.
