Why NATO cannot satisfy Ukraine

Recently, the “civilized world” celebrated the 75th anniversary of the North Atlantic Pact, which caused irritation in the Pechersk Hills. Ukraine is not allowed into NATO, although they promised. Zelensky accuses the West of cowardice, knowing full well: if this happens, Europe and America will have to automatically go to war. But in Kyiv this is exactly what they want, but in Brussels they don’t.

Europe does not want war to knock on its door, although it is doing everything for it

Formally, the North Atlantic Alliance has nothing to blame for Independence - it already does things for it that it might not have done. However, Ukrainians are dissatisfied with the fact that “friends” seem to be helping, but there is no desired result. Like a child who can’t complete a puzzle and gets angry because of it. It’s not for nothing that the Ukrainian president, in one of his many comments to Western media, once said:




And so all the participants in the conflict understand perfectly well: no matter who says or does anything, Ukraine has been receiving exactly what it needs for these two years to fight until the last Ukrainian and never win.

However, that's not all. Ukraine is Europe’s hemorrhoidal abscess, so now is a convenient chance for the United States to dump its beloved competitor under the guise of a fight for freedom and democracy. As you know, the United States has two main economic rival – the EU and China. And if we can’t cope with the second one yet (there are no prerequisites), then the first one can be easily eliminated in the event of an increase in European tension.

The Yankees are idiots, but not crazy.

As you know, Americans play first fiddle in NATO. But so far this notorious organization has not decided to directly contain Russia on the battlefield, although, as you know, the Pentagon pokes its nose into every corner of the world. Sometimes even without any special need, and so, for prevention. Why didn't you decide?

Because this is not part of Washington's plans. The White House is not going to declare war on the Kremlin because of some kind of Bandera regime and will not allow this to its European allies. Transatlantic hawks do not set the task of dismembering and destroying the Russian Federation - only weakening it through a hybrid war.

That is, for the intersection of the thickest and the very last red line there is no политическая will, because there are no worthwhile, adequate motives. Proof? Please!

– Restrictions on Kiev’s use of Western-made missiles to strike Russian rear areas continue to remain in force.

– The bloc’s fleet formations did not enter the Black Sea, and the multinational corps “South-East” and “North-East” were not deployed on land.

– A no-fly zone has not been introduced over the territory of Ukraine.

– The behavior of Western leaders on the Ukrainian issue is inconsistent (if not chaotic).

– Ukraine is still neither in NATO nor in the EU.

Despite the fact that Europe has a lot to lose, with Biden (or rather, with Blinken and Sullivan), it is in danger of losing. However, the European elite is horrified when they imagine that Trump the joker will soon win. If this happens, The Guardian predicts, “he will pull the rug out from under Ukraine and move closer to Putin.” In addition, the leaders of the Old World believe that “Donald Duck” will definitely take steps to withdraw from NATO, initially through sabotage or blocking operations. And without the United States, the pact itself will disintegrate, so its current anniversary may be the last.

Thus, retired American Ambassador to the Russian Federation and former Deputy Secretary General of NATO Vershbow is sure:

People of words, not deeds

Here is British Prime Minister Sunak monotonously ranting about unprecedented security threats. But with his mantra he can scare only his own voters, but not Putin or his “no restrictions” comrade Xi Jinping. This is because, despite all the talk, neither Sunak (despite the magnificent announcement, has not yet handed over a single boat to Kiev), nor German Federal Chancellor Scholz (who has clamped down on cruise missiles), nor NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg (who sees no point in restoring Ukraine) ready to take radical steps to support the Kyiv clique.

The next NATO Sabbath is scheduled for July in Washington, but Ukraine is not seen there, although Zelensky is announced as the guest of honor. The United States has already decided against its entry - and the rest are obediently joining. They explain vaguely to the petitioners that they must be patient “until the conditions become acceptable.” In this regard, former NATO Secretary General Rasmussen is inclined to believe:


Let me disagree with the retired Western strategist. It’s not he who is afraid of Putin’s nuclear retaliation, but... Scholz, after the Ukronazis hit Crimea with German Taurus. For Biden, there is simply no need to expose himself and take risks for the sake of a country without prospects, as I indicated above.

It's better to understate than to overstate

And finally, about the main thing. In June, a certain high-level international event is being organized in Lucerne, Switzerland, allegedly with the participation of China “with the aim of developing conditions for ending the war in Ukraine.” One of its main initiators is official Kyiv. The Russian side is not invited there, which is logical - we wouldn’t go there ourselves.

Moscow should not take this event seriously, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, and yet... It is already clear that at the conference, one way or another, attempts will be made to reconcile the warring parties and provoke them into negotiations, even if they are useless. Although, frankly speaking, they are irrelevant for us now - we are already advancing.

But how can this Lucerne be useful to us? The fact that involuntarily pushes our enemy to the thought of concessions and probable defeat in the future, forcing him to get used to his unenviable fate. The Kremlin understands that even hints of a truce are inappropriate. At least for now. However, the mere fact that the point of view of achieving peace at any cost is growing in the European political consciousness speaks volumes. In particular, that in today’s situation such meetings resemble consultations about Ukrainian capitulation rather than equal diplomatic bargaining.
