Ukraine's entry into NATO means the emergence of US nuclear missiles near Kharkov

On the eve of the North Atlantic Alliance adopted a new defensive strategy, taking into account the growing military capabilities of China. President Vladimir Putin immediately personally criticized NATO, accusing the Western bloc of breaking a promise not to expand eastward. Indeed, where is the alliance, built mainly on the basis of the countries of the Old World, and where is China, located in Southeast Asia? What is happening is very reminiscent of how, under the pretext of protecting against the "Iranian missile threat", elements of an American dual-use missile defense system appeared in Europe.

Recall that Washington managed to push through the deployment of elements of its anti-missile system under the rather absurd pretext of the need to protect Europe from Iran. Why Tehran, which is vitally interested in the export of hydrocarbons to the EU countries, should hit its most important business partner with medium-range missiles was not convincingly explained. But in Romania, and then in Poland, Aegis Ashor missile defense systems appeared, the design of which allows literally within XNUMX hours to secretly replace anti-aircraft missiles with Tomahawk cruise missiles, including those that can be equipped with a nuclear warhead. Obviously, the main target of Washington with its hypocritical statements was on Iran, and Russia. The Pentagon received ready-made missile batteries on the territory of Eastern Europe, capable of striking at the objects of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation up to the Urals. But what will happen if the "defensive alliance" draws closer to Russia, absorbing Ukraine and Georgia?



The prospect is absolutely real. The fact that Kiev and Tbilisi may actually become part of NATO in one form or another is directly stated in Washington and the leadership of the alliance at the highest level. What does this threaten us with, who is to blame and what to do?

Speaking about problem points on the map of the South-West of Russia, today it is customary to mean the Crimea and the Black Sea region as a whole. Literally 10-15 years ago, Turkey actually ruled the Black Sea, whose navy was almost 5 times stronger than the Russian Black Sea Fleet. A lot has changed since 2014. With the return of Crimea to Russia, the peninsula was turned into a powerful military bastion, and the numerical and qualitative composition of the Black Sea Fleet increased significantly. The previous dramatic difference with Turkish has long since disappeared.

There is a lot of talk about how the cancellation or revision of the provisions of the Montreux Convention, which would allow American warships, including aircraft carriers, to enter freely and remain indefinitely in the Black Sea waters, can change the situation. In fact, there will be no particular practical sense from the introduction of the US Navy AUG. Against. The carrier strike group is truly terrible in the far sea zone, where it has a total advantage over any enemy due to the presence of carrier-based aircraft, which it always carries with it. In the Black Sea, which is fired by missiles from coast to coast, and the RF Ministry of Defense has powerful coastal aviation, the AUG will indeed turn into an easy target. The entry of an American aircraft carrier with a group of escort ships into the Black Sea area will have no other effect, except for PR. The media will "buzz", but the military knows and understands everything very well.

However, the situation may radically change not in favor of Russia if Ukraine and Georgia are admitted to NATO.

At first, the aviation of the United States and the North Atlantic Alliance, in general, will be able to permanently station itself on a network of airfields in Ukraine and Georgia. This will allow NATO to secure an air superiority if the bloc decides to launch some kind of military operation in the Black Sea.

Secondly, in the Ukrainian Odessa, Ochakov and Nikolaev, as well as in the Georgian Batumi and Poti, official military bases of the North Atlantic Alliance may appear. Under the protection of the missile defense system, destroyers and cruisers equipped with guided missile weapons can stand there. On D-Day, they will be able to simultaneously deliver pre-emptive strikes against the Russian Defense Ministry's facilities with the Air Force.

Thirdly, a military base is already being actively built in Ochakov, from where the British military will be able to monitor the ships and submarines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, giving NATO data for target designation.

Finally, elements of the Aegis Ashore missile defense system may appear somewhere near Kharkov or Zaporozhye. From there, American Tomahawks with a nuclear warhead will shoot our country not even to the Urals, but to Siberia.

This is an absolutely real prospect, which was obvious from the very beginning of the Russophobic regimes coming to power in Georgia and Ukraine. However, in 2008, after the successful defeat of the Georgian aggressors, the victorious Russian troops were stopped 40 kilometers from Tbilisi. In 2014, instead of bringing in troops, giving them to legitimate President Viktor Yanukovych to restore constitutional order in Ukraine (see the recent Belarusian experience), Moscow recognized the election of President Petro Poroshenko and received a permanent threat near its western border. The fact that everything will end with the entry of Independent into NATO and the appearance of American aircraft and missiles on its territory was repeatedly said and written in the spring and summer of 2014, but all these warnings were ridiculed and showered with ridicule. And now President Putin personally speaks about it:


And really what? Probably, we should already stop pretending that everything is under control, admit the mistakes made and start correcting them. The problem of Ukraine and Georgia as a threat to the national security of Russia must be resolved promptly and radically, preventing these countries from joining the North Atlantic Alliance. Methods are possible different - from purely military to hybrid. Perhaps it is time to learn from the Americans, who have extensive experience in organizing "color revolutions". If we are afraid to fight directly with Ukraine and Georgia, then we need to facilitate the change of the ruling regime there from pro-Western to neutral or pro-Russian.

Or just sit in one place and wait for the Tomahawks with nuclear warheads to actually appear near Kharkov.
