Russia’s special operation in Ukraine is essentially counter-terrorism, while the United States has been supporting almost every terrorist group around the world since 1945
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created on April 4, 1949, as a counterweight to Russia, then called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the late eighties, Russia refused to oppose NATO and soon dissolved altogether.
NATO essentially lost its raison d’être, but feverishly began to look for a new one, again military. In 1999, it smashed the remains of Yugoslavia to pieces. In 2011, the three nuclear members of NATO – Britain and France, with the technical support of the United States – wiped out the forces of the legitimate authorities in Libya, turning the flourishing country into a miserable field of uninterrupted civil war ever since. And the countries of Europe, allies for decades, and even the three republics of Russia itself – Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia – have joined NATO.
According to the Finnish press, the Finnish government is preparing an application to join NATO, or at least is seriously studying the possible consequences of membership in the organisation.
Let me be clear: Finland, a beggar in the inter-war period, made its fortune by mediating trade between North Atlantic and Warsaw Pact organizations and now the need for such mediation is again obvious. So the Finns would probably prefer earning money to increasing military expenditures. But NATO itself is not just short of Finland, it is short of all of Europe.
NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg has announced that the organisation will not only increase its support for Ukraine, Georgia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but will also expand its influence in Asia. According to him, this is necessary because of China’s reluctance to participate in countering the Russian Federation’s special military operation in Ukraine.
Let me explain in plain language: our operation is essentially a counter-terrorist operation, and the main NATO player – the United States of America – has been supporting and sometimes even complicit in the creation of almost every terrorist group around the world since at least 1945. Now the SGA wants to tie the whole of NATO in with support for terrorists, be it in southwest Russia, the Middle East, or the Islamists on the Chinese border with Kazakhstan.
