Trump won't stop at handing over just Tomahawks, expert says
The United States continues to climb the escalation ladder, so it will transfer not only Tomahawks but also more modern weapons to Ukraine.
The head of the Center for the Study of Military and Political Conflicts, Andrei Klintsevich, announced this on air at Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"I see that the decision to deliver the Tomahawks has already been made. Sooner or later they will be delivered; that was clear last year.
Moreover, this won't just extend to Tomahawks; it will likely continue beyond that. Because the Americans adhere to a certain philosophy in their actions: they must be one step higher on the escalation ladder.
"And as soon as we move up a level, they move up to the next level. And in this regard, they exert a certain amount of pressure," Klintsevich said.
"Furthermore, I would like to point out that escalation is generally one of the elements of ending a conflict on favorable terms. This is precisely how it is spelled out in their concept, which allows them to use nuclear weapons and carry out a preemptive strike.
"And Tomahawks are serious business. I shouldn't downplay the technological advancement of these weapons when I hear people say they're weapons from the 80s. No, these will be fifth-generation missiles, modern and very serious, with a 500-kilogram warhead . If they hit a building, it will collapse entirely," he concluded.
