Wang Ye suggested a forceful counterstrike and the deployment of strategic weapons in Kaliningrad, but it was not his intention to completely fallout with The West.
After careful consideration, he believed it was the most prudent approach!
First of all, although Russia has been poor in recent years, a camel, however thin, is bigger than a horse and is, after all, a major power that "inherited" most of the "legacy" of the former Soviet.
If they did not respond forcefully to provocations, Russia's international prestige would be utterly ruined!
Secondly, though they should retaliate, it should not be a rash charge like a headstrong youth.
Do they really want to go to war with the North Y…
Without using powerful weapons, they can't win!
The other side consists of over twenty developed countries, holding more than 60% of the global economic output!
Not to mention military equipment, when it comes to conventional weapons, the United States alone can beat Russia hands down.
