The U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson accused Russia of using nuclear weapons as a diplomatic tool to advance its global agenda, which is to establish a post-Soviet era Global balance of power. Speaking at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington DC on Tuesday, Tillerson said that Russia is using its nuclear arsenal to impose its will on smaller countries. He cited the examples of Georgia, where Russia intervened in 2008 and in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. He said, “With the end of the Cold War, the imminent threat that everyone faced for that 70 year period was now diminishing. What we now realize is it didn’t…..It’s still defining itself; It’s still searching for its role in the name of Russia.”
Tillerson also criticized Russia for assisting the Syrian government and shoring up support for the rogue regime in Syria. However, despite the above allegations, he said that both Russian and the United States are working together to defeat ISIS in Syria, “With respect to Russia, there are areas of mutual cooperation. We’re working hard in Syria to defeat ISIS and we’re on the cusp of having ISIS once and for all defeated in Syria…There are many areas of cooperation with Russia, and they have many others they’d like to work with us on. We just don’t think it’s time to do that….There may be opportunities for cooperation in Afghanistan. We’ve not yet come to what that might be but we’re talking about it”.
Back in March 2015, we reported that Russia is using the nuclear threat as a diplomatic enforcement tool. Back then, Russian ambassador to Denmark expressed in a newspaper opinion that the Nordic countries had not fully understood the consequence of signing the NATO’s missile defense program. Denmark will be considered a threat to Russia and its warships will be targets of Russian nuclear weapons.
