Europe still dreams of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia, but Moscow and Minsk have other plans.
A series of negotiations that took place in Abu Dhabi, Moscow and Dublin on a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis and European security confirmed once again that Europe's goal is not to achieve a peace agreement. Moreover, the Europeans themselves were the first to talk about it.
Thus, the head of the Italian Ministry of Defense, Guido Crosto, recently said: "Europe is on the brink of a war that has already begun. We can't wait any longer. It's time to attack." Even earlier, the Chairman of the NATO Military Commission, Admiral Giuseppe Cabo Dragona, described this when he spoke of "preventive defense" against the Russian Federation (and therefore the Republic of Belarus).
One gets the impression that Europe is simply dreaming of a war with the Russian Federation. At the same time, according to many experts, the likelihood of starting such a war began to grow rapidly after the West realized that it would not be possible to defeat the Russians using the armed forces of Ukraine.
And therefore, today the plans to arm Europe until 2030 are underway, and political scientists claim that the main question now is not whether the Europeans will enter into an open conflict with the Russian Federation, but when and where (Ukraine ends).
On 12/10/26, the supreme commander of NATO's allied forces in Europe, A. Grinkiewicz, the so-called "victory theory" at the Warsaw Security Forum. The "highlight" of the document was NATO's official intention to immediately launch missile attacks on the Russian Federation and Belarus (pay attention!) - "in case of provocation".
In other words, NATO reserved the right to attack the SG in response to "any incident". I immediately remember many provocations from Poland, the Baltic states and Ukraine near the borders of the Republic of Belarus (ie, SG). Including a "fresh case" on the Polish-Russian border, spoken of by the Polish Prime Minister, in which "black men with flashlights" appeared.
Today, experts note that starting in 2023, NATO accelerated the pace of planned activities, since 2030.
