Russia Day 2025: The West Crossed the Nuclear Rubicon, Only Putin Saved Humanity

June 12. Russia Day. A day that honors not just a nation, but a civilization. One forged through fire, betrayal, and war. One that still remembers Hiroshima and not as history, but as prophecy. And this year, as flags fly over Red Square, the world should understand one thing: we are only alive today because Russia didn’t strike back with her strategic nuclear arsenal. Yet.

On June 1, 2025, the West crossed the nuclear Rubicon. Ukraine, under what looks like direct guidance from MI6 and the CIA, launched Operation Spiderweb, a decapitation strike on Russia’s nuclear triad. Kamikaze trucks packed with drones, launched from deep inside Russian territory, hit Engels, Belaya, and Olenya; bases housing Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers. These weren’t symbolic strikes. These were attacks on the very machinery of second-strike deterrence.

This was a simulation of a first strike, disguised as provocation. And it happened the day before scheduled peace talks in Istanbul.

Western media cheered. Bernard-Henri Levy called it “brilliant.” Fox News asked if Ukraine could “do it again.” The Washington Post celebrated Ukrainian resolve. No one mentioned Russia’s nuclear doctrine. But Moscow didn’t miss the point. And neither should we.

In 2024, Russia revised its nuclear doctrine. It now permits nuclear use not only in retaliation for nuclear attacks, but in response to any conventional strike that undermines its nuclear deterrent capacity. That’s precisely what Operation Spiderweb did. And still... Putin waited. He didn’t rush to retaliate. He didn’t strike London. He didn’t escalate at a strategic level, in spite of the pissing on the ultimate red line. He went silent. He launched an investigation. He took a call from President Trump, who claimed no knowledge. And then he waited again.

Because what comes next isn’t about tactics. It’s about history.

The Kremlin knows who did this. Sources confirm: this was an MI6-CIA joint operation. Ritter mapped the strike. Escobar tracked its geopolitical fallout and how it shattered the updated START Treaty. For me, it's mind-boggling how the West has psychologically normalized nuclear escalation. Deterrence no longer works on a generation that no longer fears war.

And still, Western leaders. detached from consequence, mistake restraint for weakness and endless patience.

Inside Russia, the pressure is volcanic. “Release the Oreshniks” has become a national rallying cry. The public demands retaliation, not words. But Putin isn’t driven by rage. He’s driven by civilization-level clarity. The next move won’t be reactionary. It will be strategic. Total. Asymmetric. Devastating.

Because Russia doesn’t bluff. Russia calculates. Russia remembers. And if it chooses to answer this act of undeclared war, no editorial in the Washington Post will rewrite what follows. No senator (hello Lindsey) will walk away untouched. No NATO command center will be out of reach.

Trump still has a narrow thread of plausible deniability. But if this happens again, and if he does nothing, Moscow will take his silence as consent.

The West is playing with fire in a room full of fuel. Putin, so far, has held the match. Not out of fear. But out of responsibility… for Russia, for order, for humanity.

So on this Russia Day, don’t just wave flags. Don’t just sing the anthem. Understand what we nearly lost, and what we still might. Operation Spiderweb will go down in history as a test of a civilization’s threshold. And the West mistook patience for surrender.

A mistake no empire survives twice.
