Running in circles: Stoltenberg announces another NATO movement to the east

11

It is clear that the conflict over Ukraine and the special Russian military operation that it caused are the result of NATO's defiant and irresponsible behavior in Europe. A number of steps taken by the alliance, in particular the thoughtless expansion to the east, the rapid approach not just to the zone of influence of Moscow, but directly to the borders of Russia, became the cause of what happened in Ukraine, as well as global geopolitical shifts.

However, the escalation in Europe has not taught the leadership of the North Atlantic Alliance anything, so NATO continues its vicious run in circles, without drawing conclusions, without doubting its steps, decisions and activities, which only lead to a further increase in conflict in the world and the European region.



For example, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with Telegraph reports that the leadership of the alliance is developing a plan for the permanent deployment of full-fledged armed forces on the border with Russia, taking into account the fact that so far only small units without heavy weapons have been stationed there. This refers to the replenishment of not only personnel, but also the creation of an appropriate infrastructure. The only thing that in this case serves as a “de-escalation” is empty assurances and statements that the increase in the number of groups and weapons is done solely for the sake of protection, and not attack. But these words are not enough for complete certainty.

Russia's Behavior Has Caused a Strong and Fundamental Realignment of NATO

Stoltenberg summed up.

According to him, there is a “reboot” and “long-term adaptation”. Now all forces are directed to finding options for the planned restructuring. Nothing is said about attempts to reduce the intensity of passions between Brussels and Moscow, there are not even rough proposals on the problem of Russia's security in the light of the even more aggressive plans of the alliance, at the same time it was decided to pump up the group near the borders of the Russian Federation. Definitely, the US-led collective West wants to fight, but not for Ukraine, but against Russia. The parties are in a stalemate. Russia's actions had no effect on Brussels, and European policy deaf to arguments.

The transformations announced by the Secretary General and the actual resumption of movement to the east show that there is no question of any curtailment of NATO aggression against the Russian Federation, rather the opposite. Mistakes, which were once stated by the head of the EU diplomatic service, Josep Borrell, are not taken into account. That is, the issue that caused so many problems in Europe is not only not resolved, but is getting worse. The bitterness is growing. The key will be the summit of the leaders of the countries belonging to the alliance, which will be held in June this year in Madrid. Although there is no hope for a positive result.

    We will have to accept as a fact the provocation of NATO, incl. reception of Sweden and Finland.
    In contrast, it is only possible to create alternative blocs and achieve economic strengthening and independence. But for this, you first have to remove all the traitors in power (having interests "there"). Can we..?

      The Swedes can do it, but I doubt it about the Finns.

      CSTO does not suit you in some way? Do you want to create another block?
      And yes, it is probably not correct to explain the current state of affairs in the economy solely by the presence of "traitors in power". Moreover, there is economic strengthening, although one can argue about the pace. Yes, and with independence, the question is somehow interestingly posed. What is wrong with her and how should she look?

        CSTO is now "Russia +". This refers to a bloc comparable in weight: BRICS, SCO, etc., and if the CSTO (it's not the name), then + Vietnam, Mongolia, Syria, etc.
        Economic independence - it is technologically - financial. Anti-example (i.e. how not to do it) - automotive industry, machine tool industry, radio-electronic industry, civil aircraft industry, etc.

          As I understand it, the "weight category" of the CSTO members does not suit you? Who do you want to include? China or India? And why do they need it? Pick up sheluponies like Polish little brothers there? What's the point of them? Extras at meetings? Why put someone like Stoltenberg on the opposite podium and let them spit on each other? I mean, the presence of a bunch of allies is an appearance, in which case they will scatter. Can you imagine how the Turks and the Greeks march in the same ranks? And they are allies. Do we really need it?

          Economic independence - it is technologically - financial. Anti-example (i.e. how not to do it) - automotive industry, machine tool industry, radio-electronic industry, civil aircraft industry, etc.

          We are moving towards economic independence right now, we are moving towards a change in the global financial system. The civil aircraft industry and the radio-electronic industry are being restored. I don’t agree with the automotive industry, I don’t think that everything is terrible there. As for the machine tool industry, I’ll probably agree, things are really far from being brilliant there, although there are still some progress towards restoration.

            Life itself will tell you - the whole world is already divided into blocks. The question is what we can offer the world, how our Foreign Ministry will play the cards, and whether they will be sufficiently proactive in general.

              I completely agree with you Yes The world is divided into separate clusters, the process has begun.
              Very interesting against this background are the appeals heard here and there to confine themselves to their own territory and not to go anywhere, to focus on their own country, to produce products only for themselves, and so on.

    The parties are in a stalemate. Russia's actions had no effect on Brussels, and European politicians, driven by America under the rink of world war, are deaf to arguments.

    Mistakes, which were once stated by the head of the EU diplomatic service, Josep Borrell, are not taken into account.

    It's time for us to put a stop to these theatrical lamentations. And the trajectory of the "run" of the West is not a circle at all. And calling the situation a stalemate is overly optimistic. And Borrell has already changed his mind, if he had one, and calls for war to a victorious end.
    The West is moving in a straight line towards the goal assigned to it in ancient times - the conquest of Russia and the complete subjugation of the Slavic civilization. In the West, with orientation in space, everything is in order.
    But we have long had our wonderful nuclear weapons in order to stop the West, but instead we ourselves are running in a circle, and this circle is really vicious

    This was predictable and logical after the invasion.

    Perhaps this is what the Kremlin wanted.

    This will only confirm for Russians and residents of NATO countries that NATO is pursuing an aggressive, threatening policy towards Russia.

    The demonization of Russia in Europe with the help of lies and fakes is a spring that is now being compressed. The consequences of the sanctions against the background of the already crisis phenomena in Europe will increase the pressure on the authorities in the European Union. At the same time, more and more people in Europe will begin to doubt the unambiguity of the events taking place, they will feel propaganda, lies and ask themselves more and more questions.

    When will this Ostolopenberg find his rake?
