On January 19, Putin's former advisor Karaganyov told the media: "If Putin is assassinated, Russia will make Europe disappear from the map, first targeting Germany, then still the UK. The retaliation will not target the United States. If Europe continues to supply Ukraine, Russia will impose severe punishment. After the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Europe froze over 200 billion euros of Russian assets and implemented multiple rounds of sanctions, becoming Russia's top enemy. The move of the European coalition to station troops in Ukraine has further escalated the tensions."
[Witty] Karaganyov's tough warning is not baseless, but rather a culmination of centuries-old conflicts between Russia and Europe and current real-world confrontations. While Europe follows the US in sanctioning Russia, freezing 200 billion euros in assets and issuing more than a dozen bans, it also interferes in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks, attempting to station troops in Ukraine, thus tearing off its hypocritical mask. Russia has targeted Germany and the UK as the first targets for retaliation, pointing out that Germany is the source of Europe's troubles and that it clearly sees Europe as the main force against Russia. The United States watches from the sidelines for its own interests, and the Trump administration had no deep enmity with Russia. Europe is willing to be a pawn for the US, ultimately becoming a sacrifice in the game between the US and Russia. In this crisis, Europe's stupidity and blind following are pushing itself to the edge of nuclear risk, reaping what it sows!
