It is difficult to say whether this can be compared with the effect of an exploding bomb, but it feels like our opponents have returned to their shaggy past.
I mean, they were speechless. Hours have already passed, but no reaction. Dead silence. Shock.
Everyone knew that Putin would say this sooner or later, but he said it even earlier. This is what the US Congress is now going to do with the bill to strengthen sanctions against the construction of Nord Stream-2, if “I am pleased to announce that we have completed the laying of the first pipe today”. And the control one: “Gazprom is already ready to fill it”.
Even if he once again said “listen now” and again listed all types of advanced Russian weapons, it would be easier for them. They have already resigned themselves to the fact that they are irreversibly lagging behind our hypersound. However, they can now react to the completion of SP-2 in the same way as then, in 2018, to Avangard. Don’t believe it. It will be easier for them for a while.
