There’s lots of talk by pundits supposedly in the know, that Western Europe’s NATO nations are pushing for World War 3. Ukraine’s pres. Zalinsky wants NATO membership for Ukraine and has some backing on that, particularly from the UK, which is now reported to be preparing to send in troops against Russia.
This, after Zelensky was given the boot from the White House and Pres. Trump made it clear that Zelensky’s been playing the US for money and has no desire to see the war end. Now the word is that even the natural resources deal was either previously made with the UK or backdated to appear that it was.
Elon Musk recently responded “I agree” to a Twitter post saying the US should get out of NATO and the UN. While that’s not official White House policy, it has meaning and my take is that our government is starting to distance itself publicly from NATO and the UK. Not in reality, just in appearance, because we’re western Europe’s second biggest trade partner and closest, strongest military ally and that’s not suddenly going to change. It’s just that if they do take over the fight with Russia as we back away from it, the US is at the same time giving all indications it is preparing to develop a close relationship with Russia and needs to be uninvolved with NATO/UK’s engagement in Ukraine. It’s the old “Plausible Deniability” thing once again.
I think that those warning that NATO is going to plunge us into WW3 are doing so as fear propaganda, so we’ll approve of it when Trump refuses to join the rest of NATO in attacking the Russian troops. None of this would likely be happening if it weren’t true, that the US is going to embrace Russia and European NATO is going to take over the fight against Russia in Ukraine.
What this really looks like to me is the old squeeze play, W. Europe takes over the expense from us of fighting Russia up front while we hit them with Peace from the rear and force a regime change. Putin really does have to go, and this looks like how it’s going to be done.
The old saying that “All the world’s a stage” is still very true, these people are actors and what they show us isn’t real.
