NATO's support for Ukraine has always been widely known and is seen as the "financier" of the war in Ukraine. Despite their tough military attitude towards Russia, a recent incident has thoroughly exposed their true intentions. A drone of the Russian military occurred in Romanian airspace**, which is a member of NATO. Despite NATO's announcement of a ban on Russian aircraft flying over the airspace, the Russian army's drones not only entered NATO airspace, but also had a ** incident. This delicate situation has raised concerns about the risk of escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war. However, NATO did not make a big deal about it, but tried to downplay the impact of the ** incident. According to reports, German and Romanian fighters took off urgently, and even confirmed the drone of the Russian army, but NATO did not give the order to shoot it down.
NATO spokesman Dylan White even "justified" Russia, saying that the Russian drone was targeting Ukrainian infrastructure and had an accident on the way to its destination. The affected Romania also summoned the Russian ambassador only to complain about the violation of airspace. Even the traditionally belligerent United States is unusually silent on this matter, which seems somewhat unusual. After all, not so long ago they were clamoring for war with Russia. The Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, Reheka, has said that a war with Russia is not impossible, and even stressed that NATO must prevent war through deterrence, so that Russia understands that NATO has the ability and willingness to defend itself. Also speaking out against Russia is German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Scholz has said that Germany will continue to firmly support Ukraine and work closely with other allies to jointly safeguard Ukraine's sovereignty and territory, but what matters is their actual actions.
If NATO really wants to go to war with Russia, the drone ** incident is undoubtedly an excellent excuse for military intervention in the Ukrainian conflict. However, NATO did not take such action, which is clearly not in line with NATO's usual style. NATO and the United States are jealous of Russia's military strength and do not dare to clash head-on, and those harsh words are just "propping up the scene". But when it comes to the end, their true nature is revealed. The reluctance of the United States and NATO to confront Russia directly is also well understood. If they really wanted to fight, they would have acted a long time ago, and they would not have gone to great lengths to support Ukraine against Russia. In their opinion, it is not cost-effective to directly confront Russia, so they choose to let Ukraine consume the living forces of the Russian army. And then wait until Russia is almost exhausted, and then they take the opportunity to negotiate conditions.
However, things turned out unexpectedly, and Russia was not dragged down by the war. It has been almost two years since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and the military aid of real gold has been continuously sent to Ukraine, but the Ukrainian army has become more and more passive, and even the key position Maryinka has fallen into the hands of the Russian army. In stark contrast, the Russian army is engaged in meat grinder tactics on the front line, desperately grabbing the positions of the Ukrainian army with the help of numbers and ** advantages. As a result, the United States and NATO are even more afraid to act rashly. After all, both the United States and Russia are military powers, while NATO has a large number of members. Once entering the war, it will mean the escalation of the conflict. And the developments that follow the escalation of the conflict are likely to be beyond the scope of the United States and NATO. Therefore, even if there is such a thing as a Russian drone entering NATO's airspace, NATO can only turn a blind eye.
Russia's attitude seems to be exactly the opposite of NATO. Russia is not afraid of NATO, and Putin announced an increase of 170,000 troops, making it clear that the increase is to better guard against NATO. Russia also warned that if F-16 fighter jets take off from the territory of NATO member states such as Poland and Romania, Russia will see such behavior as a manifestation of these countries' participation in the Russian-Ukrainian war and retaliate accordingly. Through these actions, Russia has sent a very clear signal to NATO: NATO had better stop it. Otherwise, don't blame Russia for being unkind. NATO finds itself in a rather awkward position, and despite the fact that from time to time it sends tough words to Russia reaffirming its support for Ukraine, NATO itself and Ukraine are well aware that these words are nothing more than empty promises that can hardly have a substantial impact on the current situation.
The Ukrainian army has suffered successive defeats recently, which has made NATO even more worried. If the Russian army really wins, it will be further against NATO. However, NATO can only blame itself, which is exactly what they caused in the first place.
