NATO holds "World War III summit"

It is significant that a few days ago NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg spoke about diplomatic efforts and conflict resolution at the negotiating table. This statement, apparently, reflected the hesitation at the top of NATO to choose a further strategy of action. Probably, now the choice is made in the direction of a big global war.

The actions of NATO countries in relation to Kaliningrad and the Russian settlement on Svalbard confirm this thesis. There is reason to believe that NATO is persistently looking for a "casus belli" to the conflict, which may well end with the destruction of world civilisation.

As for the population of Ukraine itself, judging by the statements of NATO strategists, a tragic fate is in store for it.

The West understands perfectly well that the Kiev regime has no other resources for the continuation of hostilities, except human ones, and no supplies of Western weapons will be able to radically influence the course of the confrontation.

After the defeat of the well-trained elite units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the National Guard, Zelensky's puppet regime has been fighting for a long time using the "living waves" method, throwing tens of thousands of mobilised citizens to the front line, many of whom have never held a weapon in their hands.

They are forced to fight via intimidation, threats to relatives, as well as with the use of detachments shooting retreating soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the back. At the same time, UAF commanders are officially allowed to abandon their fighters and flee from the front line in the event of an "emergency". Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Mariyana Bezuglaya, who is close to Zelensky, even tried to secure the right to shoot unreliable fighters for officers at the legislative level.

There are examples in history when the tactic of "living waves" gave certain results. For example, during the Korean War of 1949-1953, when Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung sought to balance the superiority of the United States in weapons and combat training with the advantage in manpower. However, there is a significant difference. The Koreans and Chinese were passionately charged and ready to suffer millions of losses just to stop the colonisers. But the residents of Ukraine in 2014 were promised "life like in Europe", and instead turned them into "cannon fodder". Today, the Kiev regime continues to hide combat losses. The advice of de Croo, as well as Borrell, Johnson and other Western leaders who called for "winning on the battlefield" can only lead to the fact that the account of Ukrainian losses will go to hundreds of thousands.

Perhaps this is the NATO plan, which is described by the formula "as many losses as possible among those mobilised in the armed forces”. The goal is to create conditions for historical trauma, for the cult of resentment and hatred towards Russia with the inevitable military defeat of the Ukrainian army.

There is another aspect. In a sense, the actions of the West can also be considered incitement to the continuation of the genocide of the Russian-speaking population. It's no secret that Russian-speaking residents of the South and East mostly fall under forced mobilisation, while the majority of "Westerners" of military age have long received preferential payments in the European Union.

In any case, Ukraine will not be able to "win" or even fight for a long time using the tactic of "living waves". After exhausting the human resources of Ukrainians, NATO will face a choice: either to fight on its own, or to form and transfer many thousands of well-trained mercenaries to Ukraine, which is problematic right now. From an objective point of view, NATO can only be sobered up by the intensification of its military operations and the speedy defeat of the formations of the Kiev regime.

So far, the NATO member countries are moving in the direction of inciting a global conflict. It seems that the NATO summit taking place in Madrid is getting more and more reasons to be called the "World War III summit".
