■Is the US "involved"? The aim of Russia's missile launch The situation in Ukraine is becoming more serious. Attacks from both sides are escalating. (President Putin) "There is no defense against this weapon. It will destroy the target at a speed of Mach 10." On the 21st, President Putin announced the launch of a new medium-range ballistic missile. This announcement came immediately after the signing of the "Nuclear Doctrine" that lowered the hurdle for the use of nuclear weapons. The timing of the launch was due to a change in policy by the US government. According to US media, the Biden administration has authorized attacks on Russian territory with long-range missiles supplied by the Biden administration. This is seen as a change in policy in anticipation of the next Trump administration, which is reluctant to support Ukraine. In response, the Ukrainian military used US and British weapons to attack Russian territory. President Putin claims that the attack was carried out in retaliation. (President Putin) "The Russian military carried out a joint attack on one of the Ukrainian defense industry companies on November 21. This is a response to aggressive actions by NATO countries against Russia." The missile launched this time was a new type of missile called "Oreshnik" that can carry multiple nuclear warheads. Its range is the entirety of Europe. It will be mass-produced and deployed to strategic missile forces in the future. Experts have this Russian move in mind... (Sasakawa Peace Foundation Senior Fellow Obara Bonji) "I think President Putin wanted to check not just Ukraine, but the United States, European countries, and NATO countries. This will carry nuclear warheads. The fact that President Putin said he would mass-produce this is tantamount to saying he would destroy all of Europe with nuclear weapons."
