NATO accuses Russia of planning the invasion of Ukraine by the beginning of 2022. The news was released in early December by the Washington Post. WP claims to have obtained sensitive information from US intelligence sources. Writing about the hypothesis of an imminent Russian aggression against Ukraine, WP wrote of 175 thousand Russian soldiers ready to attack Kiev, explaining immediately afterwards that it is only a potential deployment. According to US intelligence sources, WP says that: “There is a level of preparedness and equipment that would allow the war to be supported for a week to ten days. And, in the rear, reinforcements are ready for a month of operations”. “Satellite images show the logistical supply lines for the front already in motion
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denies the American version. The hypothesis of a Russian invasion of Ukraine is “an imaginary threat”. Zakharova says that “it was NATO that came close to us. It is close to our borders that NATO’s military infrastructure is being built and that large-scale exercises are being conducted”.
To ease tensions in Ukraine, the key is related to the eventual accession of Ukraine into NATO. For Russian President Putin, an enlargement of the Atlantic Alliance to the east is a red line not to be crossed. US President Biden has made it known that the United States has no intention of intervening in Ukraine and is entrusting any military defense to its European partners. Brussels confirms the approach indicated by the US. EU foreign affairs representative Joseph Borrell, said “Europe will stand by Kiev in the event of an invasion”.
NATO’s activity at the borders of Russia also contributes to inflame tension.
The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, in an official statement, explained which exercises are being carried out by NATO on the edges of the Russian borders. Zakharova talks of “a military activity of the United States and NATO member states along the perimeter of Russia’s borders, including military flights and the dangerous maneuvers of military ships” that continues to grow.
From the foreign spokesperson, “The US military and its NATO allies have gone from attempts to test the strength of our border protection system to provocations against civilian aircraft.” Dangerous exercises that have jeopardized the safety of airspace and have endangerd human lives.
A protest note was sent to the United State’s Embassy in Moscow listing the incidents that jeopardized air safety in the skies over Russia between October and December.
The statement sent to US diplomatic services specifies that last December 3, a US Air Force CL-600 reconnaissance plane flew over the open waters of the Black Sea near the area of responsibility of the Russian air traffic services. The aircraft made a steep descent from an altitude of 11,000 m to an altitude of 9,200 m, crossing the route reserved for civil aircraft. The American plane risked collision with an Aeroflot passenger plane. Around the same time, a Maltese airliner flying from Sochi to Skopje narrowly escaped a collision. Also on the same day, Russian military aircraft had to intervene to escort a US Air Force’s RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane over the Black Sea.
I know I don’t have all the facts, but it’s a bit difficult to understand what Russia is trying to achieve. I mean, their obviously constantly letting these incidents basically slide instead of giving a firm response which means NATO will become more and more provocative and get a better chance at getting a cheap shot at a prime target before launching their full-on assault.
I know more time allows Russia to become more prepared, but I just think they could still accomplish that while being more assertive with an enemy that only understands force.
Any intel people out there want to give a hint? :)
There won’t be a war there unless those crazy neocons somehow become suicidal. Russia could wipe them out in short order. Interesting thing is that they pretend they will only fight Russia, not Russia and China combined.
I wouldn’t call full strike with grass straws as a full-on assault against the bear as something alike. Many have tried and none succeeded. What makes you think this foolish time it will be different.
It looks like the people in Washington are being used as pawns in a bigger game by the Globalists. Whether they want to be or not, their ‘factions’ (I’m talking about the ones hidden within) appear to be too divided and too compromised. To me, they are being sacrificed as collateral for the chance to take Russia once and for all, to complete their One World Order.
NATO looks like it’s moving as close as it can get, right up to the border, to get a better opportunity for a strike on Russia’s most populated and densely protected region to give as little notice and chance of defending as possible.
Ok, so here’s the deal. The US wants the eventual integration of Ukraine into NATO. To that end, they keep provoking Russia, so as to keep up the illusion of a Russian threat (hoping Russia will respond aggressively). What Russia does is expose this. That’s the best they can do, call NATO’s bluff. Show the world that there is no excuse for Ukraine joining NATO.
The second point is this: Russia will eventually, probably sooner than later, adsorb Donbass. Already, toll restrictions are being lifted, there is free flow of goods and services and Russian citizenship is being offered to people from Donyetsk and Lughansk. The Russian military build-up is not intended for an invasion of Ukraine, but rather to dissuade the latter from taking any ‘foolish’ action while Russia integrates the Donbass region.
Ukraine is likely to acquiesce to that. They haven’t made use of the Minsk process, they’re not interested in negotiating over Donbass. Likely because they know it’s untenable. Secondly, they would end up with a less Russian, more homegeneous core-Ukraine, which they could steer towards NATO with more ease.
NATO will continue to provoke and expand. Russia’s only option to stop it is to use military force. If they do they will be labeled the aggressor. But it’s that or let themselves be overrun.
When will push finally come to shove?
I can’t see it ending any other way either. I think NATO should have been handled more rigidly, spoken to as a much more devious foe and handled as such. Russia had ample opportunity to give an example by destroying those biological laboratories bordering its region. Anything else that subsequently infringes on neutral territories would be then considered ‘fair game’.
