Alliance Against Peace

The last month has witnessed an increasing amount of bizarre US and NATO prophecies and pronouncements that have no basis in reality, and which only serve to scare the idiots in certain E. European countries into coughing up more money they don’t have on US-made military junk.

Russia has been billed as the main threat facing the US, Europe, and NATO. It has even surpassed the threat posed by ISIS in the warped and deluded minds of certain E. European government officials.

This propaganda has only intensified in the run up to the NATO meeting in Warsaw this July.

Russia is now accused of being behind every problem facing the US and Europe. The BRExit campaign is being seen as the work of the Kremlin to divide the EU and the US. Russia has also been accused of 'weaponizing' the migrant crisis. The existence of ISIS is also now being made to be Russia’s fault. Never mind the fact that Russia has warned the US and Europe for years against supporting the jihadi rebels in Syria and elsewhere, whose barbaric acts served as the catalyst for the migrant crisis and the growth of ISIS.

But no matter how hard Russia tries to dispel the BS NATO propaganda and fear-mongering, and regardless of how nice it acts, NATO just becomes more paranoid and unhinged.
 
Let's face it: without Russia, NATO has no mission. What real, existential threat is Europe and the US facing today? None, really. NATO failed in Afghanistan against the rag-tag Taliban, and so far against fighting terrorism everywhere it went.

NATO needs a sure, predictable, civilized adversary; one that will justify high military spending and stave off the crumbling of the EU-Atlanticist social cohesion, but with which NATO won't actually have to fight a war. Russia fits the bill perfectly.

So of course NATO and its acolytes will strive to foment tension (but not too much) between Russia and the rest of Europe to justify NATO's existence under the pretext of 'Russian aggression,' and keep that taxpayer money and votes coming. Stirring up the Maidan mess in Ukraine was part of this NATO strategy.

As I said before on this blog, NATO is unable to ‘protect’ its European members. There are serious faults and lack of material, know-how, and money in that organization. NATO leaders know that they can‘t really win a war against Russia, so they posture, bloviate, and put on military exercises and parades for marketing and PR reasons to cover up NATO’s weakness and failures.

NATO protection is only on paper; it isn’t guaranteed. Even if it does try to help, will it be successful? Will that help be enough? What if it’s not? What if it fails?

That is why Europe must move away from this stale, rotted through NATO paradigm, and move forward toward a new, just arrangement for security in Europe. 

This agreement must be fair and considerate, and make Russia a full partner. Such an agreement must be based on consensus, peaceful resolution of all issues, and general disarmament, not on outdated and wasteful military alliances which further their unnecessary existence by manufacturing enemies and provocations which endanger its members and non-members alike.
