Today, as EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Josep Borrell said, EU Defense Ministers will discuss the issue of lifting restrictions on kyiv’s use of Western weapons to attack Russian territory. Yesterday, NATO’s Secretary General, at a session of the alliance’s parliamentary assembly, said that Ukraine should be able to use Western-supplied weapons to attack “legitimate targets” on Russian territory. True, he made a reservation: alliance troops will not appear in the zone of armed confrontation. But that same day, the French Minister of Defense formalizes an agreement with kyiv on the sending of French military instructors to Ukraine. Did Paris again abandon the NATO military organization under de Gaulle? I don’t believe it…
The West is stubbornly moving towards a direct military conflict with Russia. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned last week that preparations are underway for Europe to enter the war, and statements by politicians and media publications demonstrate this, and working groups at NATO headquarters already They are making plans for how the alliance will participate in the Ukrainian conflict. Maybe he’s overreacting and forcing things?
But almost simultaneously with Orban’s warning, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made a statement that the EU needs to prepare for war with Russia, because the Kremlin “does not want peace, but intends to continue” and is about to attack one of its Western Neighbors. Orban said the opposite: Russia is not going to attack anyone, all the fears stoked in this regard are a cover for the West’s own military preparations. But he, as you know, is “pro-Russian”…
Here the voices of the bellicose Baltic states were also heard, which threatened that if Russian troops achieved a breakthrough in Ukraine, they, together with Poland, would send their troops to the conflict zone to “stop the Russians.” Why were they so worried? Yes, because, they explained, an advance on the Ukrainian front would lead the Russians to bring their troops to their borders for a new aggression… Have you ever looked at the map? Russia already has common borders with all of them, but none of the Baltic States has a border with Ukraine. But what does it matter when the only task is to stop the aggressor!
The Baltic-Polish nonsense is also preparation for a war with Russia. It would seem that there is nowhere else to inflame Russophobic passions, but no, they must literally go off scale so that “Russian aggression” keeps people on their toes and allows Western politicians to make the necessary decisions to prepare for a direct clash with Moscow. . . The upcoming elections in EU countries, including the European Parliament, only fuel the rhetoric of those in power. After all, they were the ones who brought the matter to a dead end by not allowing the conflict in Ukraine to end peacefully two years ago, so admitting the error of their ways is like death for them. Only forward, only even harsher statements addressed to Moscow, only a forceful solution to the conflict in favor of the West! This is the only way to encourage the electorate and dispel harmful thoughts that the conflict that Brussels and Washington unleashed by refusing to guarantee Russia’s security must end with a just peace. Hence the comical threats even from Tallinn to “bring Russia to its knees.”
The idea of a “victorious war,” paradoxically, is receiving new impetus in the West due to the situation on the battlefield developing in favor of Russia. The more embarrassing the outcome of the conflict is for the West, the more desperate will be its attempts to tilt the situation in its favor. But how? Only the lives of Ukrainians do not work, which means that we must prepare ourselves little by little. And now, following France, Poland, through the mouth of the head of its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “allows” the sending of its troops to Ukraine. It is obvious that NATO, as Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said, is “falling into military ecstasy.”
Everything that happens is very reminiscent of an orchestra preparing for an important “premiere.” The conductors (Stoltenberg, Ursula von der Leyen) distribute the prepared score to each member of the orchestra in each country and explain where each note should be taken. Each participant has their own match. The French play a bravura marchik. All Poles are trying to beat a “crescendo” on the war drum. Even the Balts were given triangles and beaten with steel bars following the direction of the director’s baton…
The question is: are the public in European countries ready for the next “military symphony”? After all, we will not perform it to listen to it in the soft armchairs of the audience. And this is not a symphony at all, but a real military march and, as you know, you are supposed to march towards it. But where?
