Ukraine can't hold on, NATO creates the "next Ukraine", and Russia is once again deceived
This is a shocking truth, an ongoing conspiracy, a crisis that could trigger a world war. NATO, a relic of the Cold War period, has been expanding eastward and approaching Russia's borders in order to contain Russia, ultimately affecting Russia's fundamental security interests. NATO is not only provoking the war in Ukraine, but also creating the "next Ukraine", Finland, in an attempt to further encircle Russia by including the Nordic country in its military bloc. How can Russia, the former superpower, respond to such provocations and threats?Will it be deceived again, or will it fight back and defend its dignity and interests?
The root cause of the crisis in Ukraine: NATO's eastward expansion threatens Russia's security
Ukraine, an Eastern European country with a population of 45 million, is Russia's neighbor and Russia's backyard. Ukraine has a large population of ethnic Russians with strong social and cultural ties with Russia. Strategically, the Kremlin sees it as an important Russian interest. If Ukraine joins NATO, it will take NATO into its own backyard in Moscow's eyes.
However, this is precisely what NATO is aiming for. NATO, a military alliance founded in 1949, was originally designed to contain the Soviet Union and maintain U.S. dominance in Europe. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it did not dissolve, and even intensified, NATO successively admitted 14 countries from Eastern Europe, three of which border Russia. NATO has also deployed missile systems in Romania and Poland, which directly threaten Russia's security.
NATO's eastward expansion has met with strong opposition from Russia. Russia** Putin has said that NATO has agreed never to expand eastward, but it is clear that it has broken its promise, Russia wants the West to guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO, but the West does not intend to make this promise. On the contrary, the West has been supporting Ukraine's accession to NATO and increasing military assistance to Ukraine.
In 2014, there was a "color revolution" in Ukraine, in which the pro-Russian ** was overthrown and the pro-Western ** came to power. This incident was regarded by Russia as interference and provocation by the West. Russia then sent troops to Crimea to annex the peninsula, which belonged to Ukraine. The Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in eastern Ukraine also declared their secession from Ukraine to form "people's republics", with the support of Russia. The clashes between the Ukrainian army and the civilian armed forces have continued ever since.
The Ukraine crisis is a direct consequence of NATO's eastward expansion. In order to contain Russia, NATO did not hesitate to sacrifice the peace and stability of Ukraine and turned Ukraine into a battlefield and a powder keg. Instead of bringing security to Ukraine, NATO has brought disaster to Ukraine.
NATO creates the "next Ukraine": Finland
NATO's ambitions don't stop at Ukraine. He turned his attention to the small country of Finland, a Nordic country of 5.5 million people with a 1,340-kilometer border with Russia. Finland and Sweden are both neutral countries, but domestic public support for joining NATO has increased since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This year, Finland has already applied to NATO for membership.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said he would welcome the membership of applicant countries with open arms and would minimize delays in reviewing the memberships of both countries. NATO's aim, obviously, is to include Finland and Sweden in its military bloc, thereby further encircling Russia and weakening its influence in northern Europe.
However, this plan was strongly opposed by Russia. Russian spokeswoman Zakharova has warned that if Finland and Sweden join NATO, it will pose a threat to Russia's security, and Russia will take corresponding measures to protect its interests. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has also said that if Finland and Sweden join NATO, Russia will have to increase its military deployment on its northwestern border in response to a possible conflict.
Will Europe be safer or more dangerous if Finland and Sweden join NATO?The answer is self-explanatory. NATO's expansion will only exacerbate tensions in Europe, increase Russia's sense of insecurity, trigger Russian countermeasures, and may even lead to a large-scale war. NATO's expansion is not to maintain peace in Europe, but to satisfy US hegemony at the expense of European interests.
Russia's reaction: not afraid of provocations, defending interests
In the face of NATO's constant expansion and provocations, Russia has not flinched, but has taken a series of measures to defend its security interests. Russia has not only stepped up its military presence on the border between Ukraine and Finkland, but has also demonstrated its military power by holding large-scale military exercises in the Black and Baltic Seas. Russia has also had direct or indirect confrontations with the United States and NATO in regions such as Syria and Iran, demonstrating its influence in international affairs.
Russia's response has received widespread support at home. The Russian population generally believes that NATO is a hostile force to Russia and a force that threatens Russia's existence. The Russian population also generally supports Putin's hardline policies, believing that he is a leader who protects Russia's interests. The Russian population is also generally opposed to the accession of Ukraine and Finland to NATO, which they consider to be a provocation and aggression against Russia.
Russia's reaction has also received some international understanding and sympathy. Some countries believe that NATO's eastward expansion is unfair and disrespectful to Russia and a source of tension in Europe. Some countries also believe that the accession of Ukraine and Finland to NATO will undermine the balance and stability of Europe and will provoke even greater crises and conflicts. Some countries also believe that Russia has the right to protect its security interests and to counter NATO provocations and threats.
Conclusion: NATO's eastward expansion is a disaster and should be stopped
From the above analysis, we can draw a conclusion: NATO's eastward expansion is a disaster and should be stopped. NATO's eastward expansion has not only not brought security to Europe, but has brought crisis to Europe. NATO's eastward expansion not only did not maintain peace in Europe, but on the contrary brought war to Europe. NATO's eastward expansion not only did not respect Russia's interests, but on the contrary brought provocations to Russia. NATO's eastward expansion not only did not promote European cooperation, but on the contrary brought ** to Europe.
NATO's eastward expansion is a betrayal of Europe, a deception of Russia, and a threat to the world. NATO's eastward expansion should be stopped immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. NATO's eastward expansion is a game with no winners, a nightmare without a future, and an unjustified madness. NATO's eastward expansion is a meaningless adventure, a morally unethical evil, and a disaster with no end in sight.
