North Atlantic Ecological. NATO's new paradigm

36

The “great and mighty” North Atlantic Alliance is going through almost the worst of times in its stories. NATO is in a state of systemic crisis caused by inconsistent actions of the participants and uncertainty with the development strategy and self-identification in general.

Who is the enemy here


Seven decades ago, at the height of the Cold War, the North Atlantic Alliance was created exclusively to confront the Soviet Union and Moscow-controlled socialist camp in Eastern Europe. Then the meaning of the existence of NATO was unambiguous, no questions about why such an alliance was needed at all could not exist in principle. Both in Brussels, and in Washington, and in Lisbon, and in Ankara with Athens, they were afraid of “communist expansion” like fire and built a system of pan-European defense about a possible conflict with the USSR and its allies.



After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and its allies in Eastern Europe moved away from the socialist path of development, NATO faced the inevitable question of the further meaning of existence. For some period this meaning was found - the fight against terrorism, the benefit of the troops of NATO countries were involved in military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and several other states. But wherever NATO troops were present, they showed their complete failure. Estonians, Belgians or Poles are unable to fight terrorists in Afghanistan or Libya without the American army.


Moreover, it was not very clear why this fight against terrorism was necessary beyond the borders of Europe, when in Europe itself the same pan-European government opens the borders for millions of migrants from the countries of the East, among which potential terrorists inevitably turn out to be. It turns out that while European soldiers are dying in faraway Afghanistan, European customs and migration officials are willing to let in the EU countries the citizens of the same Afghanistan, and even Somalia and Mali in addition.

By the way, the NATO bloc was also unable to cope with the solution of the task of protecting the southern borders of the European Union from waves of uncontrolled migration. The alliance was powerless in front of hundreds of thousands of Libyan, Syrian, Iraqi, Afghan refugees and displaced persons. The reasons for this are both the disagreement of the actions of the allies in the bloc, and the general position of the EU leadership, which, in general, did not object to migration.

Russia is not suitable for the role of the enemy


The United States, which is still the core and main player in NATO, is trying, firstly, to maximize self-financing by the European countries of the defense projects of the alliance, and secondly, they are eagerly promoting the idea of ​​a new enemy - Russia. But far from all countries of the alliance agree with this position of Washington.

Well, which Russia is the enemy for Italy or Portugal? And France and Germany have not considered Russia as an enemy for a long time, moreover, they are in favor of expanding cooperation in key areas, understanding that without Russia it is not possible to talk about collective security in Europe.

The exceptions are countries of Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, as well as partly Scandinavian Norway and Denmark. In Poland and the Baltic republics, Russophobia has been elevated to the rank of state ideology; therefore, these countries are just interested in increasing NATO militancy, insist on the deployment of ever new military contingents, on the construction of military bases. This is understandable, given that the appearance of new military facilities in Poland and the Baltic States inevitably entails financial injections in the form of various subsidies and military assistance.

Thus, in NATO there is a clear separation of interests. There is the United States and Great Britain, for which military cooperation with Poland, Romania and the Baltic countries as a kind of containment belt of Russia is of paramount importance. And there are other NATO countries, primarily France, Germany, Italy, for which Russia is not an enemy, and which themselves have long been talking about the crisis of the North Atlantic Alliance and the need to build a separate pan-European defense system.

Greeks vs Turks: another NATO problem node


Finally, there are two more NATO members who are in very difficult relations with each other and at the same time have special ties with Russia. These are Turkey and Greece.

North Atlantic Ecological. NATO's new paradigm

With the United States, there is great tension in relations with the United States, precisely because of Recep Erdogan’s excessively independent line, the purchase of which the Russian S-400 air defense system became a spit in the face of Donald Trump, who was trying to connect all possible and impossible levers of pressure in order to warn Ankara from this step. The Turks did not obey. This did not lead to any particularly serious consequences for them, which actually means: the Americans gave the back, because the Turks as military-political allies are still very significant for them.

However, in the context of US-Turkish controversy, Washington has linked more and more hopes with Greece. Now the Americans, knowing the difficult Greek-Turkish relations, are deliberately strengthening military cooperation with Greece. Athens themselves are not opposed, but they have a purely applied sense of cooperation with the United States, not connected in any way with Russia.

The Greeks are interested in creating the most effective defense system in case of a possible conflict with Turkey. After all, the two "allies" in NATO are actually more likely enemies, not allies. While the problem of Northern Cyprus is smoldering, the Greek-Turkish conflict will not be resolved, and this problem will smolder forever: the Turks will not leave the northern part of the island peacefully.

The Greek leadership sees the deployment of American troops on its territory and the construction of new military bases as new and very effective guarantees against hostile actions on the part of Turkey. The leaders of Cyprus (its Greek part) also believe in the same way.

At the same time, both Greece and Cyprus emphasize special relations with Russia, in particular, not obeying the American demand to ban the entry of Russian ships into Greek and Cypriot ports. Everything is clear here too. The centuries-old history of help from the northern Orthodox neighbor, a common religion, cultural ties and huge communities - Russian in Greece and Cyprus and Greek in Russia, can not be helped.

Flights at Russian borders


Nevertheless, it was recently that NATO launched maximum activity at the Russian borders. Air flights of the Alliance member countries have become regular. Flight destinations are Crimea and the Baltic states. It is here that NATO acts most actively, considering the Ukrainian and Baltic directions as the highest priorities in the context of a possible conflict with Russia.

The reason for the buildup of such activity was the events of 2014 - the coup d'etat in Ukraine, the reunification of Crimea with Russia, the emergence of independent republics in Donetsk and Lugansk and the outbreak of armed conflict in the Donbass. All these events pushed the United States and NATO to intensify on the Russian borders, as they allowed us to consider Russia as a dangerous enemy, supposedly threatening European security.

Interestingly, despite the crisis of the alliance, the United States is diligently trying to attract more and more new countries. Montenegro and Northern Macedonia were admitted to the south towards NATO, the latter even changing its name for this purpose. There are plans to integrate Ukraine and Georgia into NATO.


Finally, Washington and Brussels are actively working with Stockholm and Helsinki, comforting themselves with the hope of bringing Sweden and Finland into the alliance. The latter would allow us to multiply the military power of the North Atlantic Alliance in a very important northern direction. All of Scandinavia would then be part of NATO. And here we can proceed to cover an equally interesting point, which is precisely connected with attempts to drag the Scandinavian countries of Sweden and Finland into the bloc.

Military Ecological Alliance


In search of a new paradigm, NATO can find it in the "military-environmental" direction. Environmental protection, as you know, is becoming an increasingly priority for governments in many European countries. No wonder Greta Tunberg became the symbol of 2019. In Scandinavia, in Germany, environmental movements are very popular. And the European press pays a lot of attention to environmental risks.

For the Scandinavian countries, ecology is generally a very painful topic. In this, Denmark and Norway are united as members of NATO, and neutral Finland with Sweden. And if the alliance is reoriented to the military-environmental direction, then there will be much more reason to involve Finland and Sweden in it. It turns out that these countries are not participating in an aggressive bloc, but in the ecological one, protecting the planet’s nature from certain “evil forces” that threaten the environment.

In this vein, Finland and Sweden joining NATO no longer seems like a fantastic scenario. Meanwhile, it is precisely such a bloc — the Scandinavians, Poles, Romanians and Baltic people, under the control of the United States and Great Britain — that Washington needs. Since they correspond to his plans for building rings of hostile states around Russia with American military bases and contingents stationed on their territory.

France, Germany, Italy, strictly speaking, no longer play a special role: they are interested in Trump and his entourage only as a source of financing rising military spending in Europe, since the United States is constantly trying to shift the main expenses to Berlin to support its military contingents and bases.

Therefore, NATO, no matter how strange it may sound, can turn into a kind of “military Greenpeace”, which will carry out operations against environmental pollution in all parts of the world. Under the protection of the environment, the promotion of our own economic interests and the struggle against real and potential competitors, especially in the field of energy production, are ideal.

Of course, the operations will not be carried out against American or French companies, but against Russian and Chinese interests, since now it is Russia and China that are carefully promoting the role of the main polluters of the environment. Under this ecological slogan, the North Atlantic Alliance will probably act in a new direction for it.

    Why? We read the military doctrine of Russia:
    12. Main external military hazards:

    a) building the power potential of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and endowing it with global functions that are implemented in violation of international law, bringing the military infrastructure of NATO member countries closer to the borders of the Russian Federation, including by further expanding the bloc;

Along the way, inside the country there will be a redistribution of property (always a tidbit) from those who are "enemies of the environment", that is, they cannot get billions from the government for cutting to urgently build filters, to those who have.
    And in the world what beauty will come! Know to declare the next country "environmental enemy" and destroy its production potential! American heroes are fighting for the ecology of the planet, destroying the "non-ecological" industry, simultaneously killing "extra" people in this non-ecological Asia, for example, who crap and farts, causing damage to the atmosphere!
    Billions of stupid people, thanks to education systems and massive psychoprocessing, people who support the "holy campaign for a clean future" all over the planet!

    It remains to determine the price of the Greenpeace issue ....
    It's all about bablosy (in other words, resources).
    Obviously, now no one wants to spend too much, without having the prospect of receiving "dividends" from contributions to the alliance.
    Really, why would I pour yards from my budget without getting a cent in cash back? The times when this was done in a common pot of all "Nats" under the auspices of "God Save the Ivropa" are irrevocably gone!
    No, well, it is clear, shtaaaaa now "someone" is still making their own cousse on this "gesheft", but it won't be long. For "nothing lasts forever under the moon" and "soon your curls become familiar, and they will just start beating you" (not literally, in a figurative sense). No idea can exist forever, incl. and nata. Need an update ...
    On the other hand, such a "fundamentally existential" question begs: "Is the world order possible (from the point of view of philosophy, humanity, economics, politics, geopolitics, geography" yesterday, today, tomorrow ") WITHOUT ALLIANCES and" common boilers with budgets "?
    I am inclined to believe something like this: "Nata will disappear (if it has not already disappeared (!!!!!), in practice), necessarily and fairly soon, but something else will appear in its place, in essence and in principles - similar" (witnesses of just such a transformation Here we are today, IMHO). And so it will exist for the time being.
    "Sa la vie", as they say in Honduras.
    It's all about sex ... Oh, that is, in the loot.

      Of course. It is simply necessary to achieve the "Balkanization" of the world. So that there is a war of all against everyone in the world, and that your country retains great military and production potential. Then you can plunder the whole world alone, without any alliances and alliances.

    "Know and declare the next country" environmental enemy "and destroy its production potential!" - only one small question, one can say from the lulast of physics, unpretentious, let me:
    As you know, to do some work and get "energy-result" it is also necessary to expend energy. For "nishto nibirёtsya out of nowhere." Conservation law ....
    And what if the amount of energy for this very "Know declare the next country" an enemy of ecology "and destroy" will be greater than the "energy-result" received?
    I hope the hint is clear?
    Let me explain that fighting with "iron, business and people" was beneficial "yesterday."
    "Nadys" - few people can afford this from wide trousers, because see the cost of a liter of fuel at gas stations / world stock exchanges.
    And it turns out a simple and clear "Pupkin's arithmetic with pictures"; who lived and studied in the USSR must remember this textbook.

    NATO has a serious crisis of self-identification - it is not clear against whom to be friends. The states do not unequivocally answer this question, and especially do not ask any neophytes. I remember how Putin said that he was ready to consider the possibility of joining there. But any military alliance is a tactic, not a strategy at all.

    And what is there to try?
    We estimate "on the knee", based on the school course of the CWP:
    1. Any military action by forces of, say, "one" regiment (well, there, soldiers, officers, equipment) against a similar "regiment" of an adversary entails at least:
    - mobilization of the rear services, such as fuel and transport for soldiers, maintenance of personnel (or do you think the soldiers do not need to sleep, wash, wash, wipe and pizza?)
    - mobilization of medical services;
    - mobilization of MTO (it is banal to give a lift, technical service for tanks);
    - restrictions on civil movements (at least "traffic jams").
    and not only!!!!
    And all this is NOT free, i.e. NOT for nothing ... But quite the contrary ...
    Have you heard such an expression: "After the declaration of war, the real war is waged further .... ACCOUNTANT ..."?
    If we add to all of the above the "natural selection and loss" of personnel in the course of combat clashes (and even simple exercises do not pass without losses !!!!, such losses are always included in the planning in advance), catch up with a plus (ie, minus) If there is a factor of probable complete or partial unsuitability of the captured territory for its "hilling" (see the territory of the DPR / LPR in the areas of armed clashes), then the "clean exhaust" can greatly disappoint the winner.
    If the clashes are conducted by opposing forces of relatively equal strength, then see also the banal in the part "who suffers heavy losses: attacking or defending."
    - ie, we add to the "credit" the cost of training one soldier multiplied by the number of blind man's buffs.
    Also, google at your leisure the essence of the reasons for the vigorous NOT bombardment of the territory of the USSR by amers in the period 1945 - 1950.
    Interesting and fascinating is the statistics (open !!! but, obviously, there is also closed data, when at all - "put out the light") and the calculation of the loss of amers during the Korean and Vietnamese wars. The last showdown was in 2002.
    And at all in the palm of your hand you can read the achievements of amers in the course of local wars. By the way, profitable for the business. But see the reason ... which in the case of confrontation with the Russian Federation or China .... is absent, which turns any open and large-scale clashes with these statesmen into "broth from under the eggs .... of the ancient mammoth."
