According to Sergey Naryshkin, Chairman of the State Duma (Russia’s parliament), the NATO is the malignant tumor of the all European continent. “It would be better if this organization disbands,” he stated.
Politologist Paul Craig Roberts wrote that to perpetuate American hegemony, power-crazed fanatical neoconservatives threw away the guarantees, which Washington gave Moscow, that NATO would not move one inch to the East. As NATO (essentially the United States) has no prospect of defeating Russia in a conventional war, much less defeating the alliance of Russia and China, the war will be nuclear, from Mr. Roberts’ point of view.
What is worrying is that some European governments, especially Germany and Britain, are complicit in the move toward the nuclear war. One of the ways to avoid it is for an independent leader in Germany, the United Kingdom, or France to rise to office and withdraw from NATO. That would begin a stampede to leave the Western alliance, which is Washington’s prime tool for causing a conflict with Russia and, thereby, is the most dangerous to the entire world.
Analysts think if the Western alliance continues to exit, NATO, together with the neoconservative ideology of American hegemony, will make the nuclear war inevitable. The crazies in Washington could use nuclear weapons against their enemies if they did not mind being exterminated themselves.
Readers of The Ukrainian Times know that since the early 1990s, Western aims have been to draw countries out of the Soviet sphere of influence and into the aggressive NATO. Ukraine has always been seen as the ultimate test as to where the balance lies.
It is understandable for Russia to want to save the southeast Ukraine, as a buffer against the next invasion from the West since 1941 (read: Nazi Germany). As Russian President Vladimir Putin once put it, Moscow has nonstandard solutions up her sleeve and no one will succeed in winning military superiority over Russia.
