The North Atlantic Treaty Organization appears to be heading with mathematical precision toward absolute suicide, falling into its own trap.
As the well-known geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter points out in a monumental intervention, NATO is now on the verge of its physical and economic dissolution, with Ukraine turning into its definitive coffin.
This is the nightmarish realization of a blood-stained plan that had already been laid out since 1993 with the signature of George Soros, who had prophesied. and funded. an inevitable conflict, using Eastern Europeans as expendable manpower and puppets of the West.
As the Russian war machine is not only far from exhausted but completely dominates, Europe, trapped in a paranoia reminiscent of a "rabid dog", is playing its last card in a predetermined game of Russian roulette that threatens to put a definitive, nuclear end to European civilization.
In particular, as Ritter points out, "I was invited to speak at a conference in Istanbul on 'Global Security and the NATO Conference', organized by the 'Global Civilizations Initiative' Research Center.
The speech stated the following: "As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine enters its fifth year, the time has come for the countries belonging to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to assess the situation and its significance for the future of the transatlantic alliance, which has existed for approximately eight decades.
The mainstream Western media and their social media promote a narrative based on the idea of Russian fatigue, Ukrainian resilience, and Western determination, and gladly emphasize positions resting on the alleged Russian stalemate, which is lasting longer than the Great Patriotic War of 1941–45.
This narrative coincides with the official position of most NATO member states, which is not surprising, given the close interaction between controlled corporate media and governments that maintain "revolving door" type relationships with these same corporations.
This narrative is deliberately misleading, as it does not reflect a reality based on facts, but promotes a fabrication used to shape public opinion with the aim of continuing the Russo-Ukrainian conflict until the desired outcome. the strategic defeat of Russia.
This goal constitutes the official position of NATO and its key members, as has been repeatedly stated since its first formulation in May 2022.
This idea is based on three main pillars: the economic collapse of Russia that the sanctions are supposed to cause, the military exhaustion of Russia from the endless hostilities fueled by the West, and the dissolution of Russian social structures that would lead to the fall of the government of President Vladimir Putin.
There is, however, a serious problem with this idea: it is failing.
The Russian economy is growing instead of shrinking and has managed to balance the economic needs of a consumer society with the significant expansion of the defense industry.
Thanks to this, Russia outperforms its Western competitors in the production of critical weapons systems.
The Russian army is becoming stronger instead of weaker and prevails on a difficult battlefield, despite the efforts of the West to exhaust it through a seemingly endless proxy conflict with Ukraine.
Furthermore, the government of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, continues to enjoy support not only from the majority of the Russian people. a fact that disappoints those who seek to provoke a "Moscow Maidan". but also from the rest of the world outside the narrow boundaries of the transatlantic community.
These exact pillars that were supposed to collapse from the NATO plan inside Russia, are in fact collapsing inside NATO itself. the energy crisis, caused by the self-imposed separation of Europe from Russian energy resources and exacerbated by the war in the Middle East, has led to the almost complete collapse of several critical European economies."
Reduction of military power
According to Ritter, the military power of NATO has decreased significantly in the years following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, to such an extent that no NATO country is capable of successfully conducting large-scale ground military operations in Europe, similar to those being conducted between Russia and Ukraine.
And the expenses associated with reinforcing the military forces of NATO to the necessary level, capable of confronting the Russian armed forces and defeating them, are excessively high and, therefore, constitute unachievable goals for most countries, if not for the whole of Europe, taking into account the generally sluggish state of the European economy.
Finally, the political and economic elite that seized and maintained power in Europe over the last three decades is itself retreating.
In the United Kingdom, four prime ministers have changed within four years.
The government of Germany is on the verge of collapse, as is the government of France.
In short, the very goals that NATO sought to impose on Russia are being realized. unintentionally, but effectively. within the NATO member countries themselves.
The most shocking aspect of the current situation is that this is not the result of some short-term error of judgment, but the product of a policy implemented for decades.
Even before the official creation of NATO, the United States and the United Kingdom were conspiring to turn the region of Central Europe, which today includes Ukraine, into a "poison pill" for the idea of a Greater Russia.
The Yalta and Potsdam conferences were intended to cut off from Russia the region that in 2021 formed part of Ukraine.
The CIA openly cooperated with former officials and organizations of the Nazi intelligence services to create an anti-Russian resistance movement in Ukraine, formed by the most extreme elements of the Western Ukrainian nationalist organizations, including those led by Stepan Bandera and Andrey Melnik.
Even after the suppression by the Soviet Union, in 1954–1955, of the last remnants of these pro-Nazi forces, the US and NATO continued to harbor hopes of cooperation with the remaining elements of the Ukrainian nationalist movement, while American special forces planned the creation of local resistance movements on Soviet territory and the CIA supported the abhorrent ideology of Ukrainian nationalism through direct funding and training that continued uninterrupted until 1990.
After the end of the Cold War, NATO cooperated with the United States aiming at the destabilization of Russia, helping to establish anti-Russian, pro-Ukrainian governments in Kyiv.
The expansion of NATO took place in the shadows, while the true motives were hidden from the public by those who considered Russia weak and willing to accept false assertions.
The Soros case
NATO was supported by various non-governmental organizations, which channeled money and resources into an overall plan aimed at creating an inevitable conflict between Europe and NATO.
In 1993, George Soros, who was actively interested in the possibility of regime change in Russia, published an article in which he wrote about the inevitable and necessary armed conflict between NATO and Russia.
But Soros had openly admitted that NATO as an institution is not capable of sustaining a conflict that would send the bodies of hundreds of thousands of its soldiers back to their homelands in body bags.
Instead, Soros noted, NATO would need to provide an arsenal for conducting war to an Eastern European source of manpower, outside NATO, which will fight against Russia as a puppet of NATO.
This intermediary had always been designated by the West as Ukraine.
The Orange Revolution of 2004 was an operation supported by NATO and funded by Soros, aimed at replacing the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovych with Ukrainian nationalists like Viktor Yushchenko, who openly supported the ideology of Stepan Bandera. This succeeded.
After the political return of Yanukovych in 2010, NATO supported the efforts of the US and the EU to organize a violent coup in February 2014, which overthrew Yanukovych and replaced him with Ukrainian nationalists, thus deliberately provoking the events that led to the initiation by Russia of the special military operation in February 2022.
The complicity of NATO in this is obvious. it was precisely NATO that created training centers in Ukraine, whose mission was the creation of a Ukrainian army capable of confronting the Russian army.
This action constitutes a literal embodiment of the vision of Soros in 1993 for an Eastern European army equipped by NATO.
In this precisely lies the essence of today's military situation between Ukraine and Russia, where millions of Ukrainian lives and billions of dollars of Ukrainian resources have been sacrificed to facilitate a not-so-secret war of NATO with Russia.
A war which NATO is losing by a wide margin.
The first Secretary General of NATO, Hastings Ismay, had noted that the mission of NATO is "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down".
Today we see a NATO where the Americans are leaving, the Germans are strengthening, and the Russians, against their will, are forced to enter into a direct confrontation with NATO, which actively seeks a war with Russia toward the end of the decade.
It must be noted that NATO cannot allow itself to create such an army that would be necessary for victory over Russia in a direct conflict, and that any war between NATO and Russia would inevitably lead not only to the economic destruction of the NATO member states, but also to the physical destruction of the very societies for the protection of which NATO was supposedly created.
Next month, the collectivity of NATO will gather in Ankara to discuss the next steps for an organization that has lost its legitimacy after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and can continue to justify its existence only through the revival of the threat from Russia.
In its current form, the planned confrontation of NATO with Russia is literally an act of suicide. It will lead to the defeat of NATO and, most likely, to the destruction of Europe.
The summit in Ankara may prove to be the last summit that NATO will ever convene.
Today Europe behaves like a rabid dog, and the only way to deal with such a threat is to shoot this dog, something that Russia is ready to do.
In the future, the priority of NATO should be the prevention of war. To achieve this, it is necessary to recognize the hard truth of the inevitable victory of Russia over Ukraine and that any attempts by NATO to achieve a different outcome through escalation of the Russia–Ukraine conflict will only lead to a direct conflict with Russia, in which NATO cannot win, and therefore will most likely provoke a nuclear conflict that will put a definitive end to the experiment of European civilization.
NATO is playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette. a roulette where every chamber in the revolver is loaded and the outcome is predetermined.
The choice is obvious. it is a matter of life and death for Europe and the transatlantic alliance.
The decision will be taken next month in Ankara, concludes Scott Ritter.
