In the German press: NATO does not have many opportunities with regard to Ukraine against Russia

The European media continues to actively discuss the topic related to checking the combat readiness of Russian troops. In the West, the movement of the RF Armed Forces on the western borders of the country is considered either "preparation for the invasion of Ukraine" or "the Kremlin's flexing its muscles before possible negotiations with Biden."

The situation is being discussed in the German press as well. The major German edition FAZ, commenting on the events of recent weeks, indicates that NATO is talking about a "military crisis".

From the material:

No one in NATO believes Moscow's words about a planned combat readiness test. The Kremlin is once again distorting reality by moving tens of thousands of its military to the Ukrainian borders, ships from other waters to the Black Sea.

At the same time, the German author writes that words are being heard from the United States to Kiev about the need to maintain restraint and not give in to panic. It was noted that the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin announced "support for Ukraine", but more often in the West the phrase is heard that NATO will not fight with Russia because of Ukraine.

From the article:

In fact, this means a directive from the United States and NATO for Kiev: Do nothing! And what else can NATO say to Kiev? The alliance does not have many opportunities with regard to Ukraine versus Russia. Ukraine is a NATO partner, but nothing more.

The German press notes that NATO is "giving in to Russia in Ukraine."

The German media urge EU officials to act, who "could help Ukraine with anti-Russian sanctions." In particular, it is proposed to introduce economic sanctions for the alleged closure of the Azov Sea by Russia. Earlier, statements that the Russian Federation had closed the Kerch Strait for a long time were called false in Moscow.

or "muscle flexing of the Kremlin ahead of possible negotiations with Biden."

But somehow we did not try to communicate with Biden, he was the first to start.

adults usually understand when to hit first, and ideally the response should start after the start of the attack and be realized before it

In adults, the idiot is usually the one who came to the shootout with a knife (Ukraine). There will be, there will not be a shootout, and a goof will make any pants.

Judging by the reports from Donbass (Lord of the Sith), there are no reasonable conclusions. Everything is the same.

[andrew42]

It is necessary for the Donbass to form three more divisions by Iskander. Yes, I did not delay the application. For every 80 mm mine - one Iskander in response. For each 120 mm - two. Yes, at the headquarters, at his headquarters, you bastard. Then something really changes.

Well, Duc, for example:

in the West, they say that NATO will not fight with Russia because of Ukraine.

The alliance does not have many opportunities with regard to Ukraine versus Russia. Ukraine is a NATO partner, but nothing more.

Doesn't sound like simple muscle flexing. The APU will twitch and we have a couple of divisions on "vacation" will leave and go to visit their grandmother in Donetsk. Or do you think miners arranged professional boilers for the National Battalions? Although .. now it will not be necessary to hide, they will enter to protect Russian citizens and enforce peace. After Crimea, I have no doubt that there are detailed plans for a military operation.

It may very well be. In any case, the muscles of the skakuas have already been brought under the very nose. 2 armies + airborne units, and even from the state of the exercises - it's not the sparrows who were blowing.

from the United States to Kiev, words about the need to maintain restraint are heard

You shouldn't know ... After all, this is:

June twenty-second
At exactly four o’clock
Kiev bombed,
We were told
That the war began ...

==========
Ukraine, forgive the comparison, a moth-eaten fur coat. Wear? Funny and indecent. Throw it away? But, there are still large pieces of untouched fur. Give moths for food? Expensive feeding and no good.
Russia does not plan to wage war with Ukraine and then deal with the results of the playoff. The same EU viewers are interested in how the former fraternal peoples will be cut. They are afraid of one thing. The fact that the Russian Federation will not go to war with Ukraine, but "zhahnet" in Brussels (or somewhere else) in order to prevent encroachments on sovereignty and against the threat of destruction of statehood. These "warriors" are standing, flowing around and shouting whatever comes to mind ... And the Russian Foreign Ministry would have to thoroughly clarify the essence of this mess: is it nonsense of individual media editors or the open state policy of European countries.
==========
I have spoken for a long time and will continue to do so. Today the weak are not spared. Therefore, it is impossible to miss threats and insults to the COUNTRY AND PEOPLE, to sacrifice one's own interests and sovereignty, or to sing to someone else's flute or saxophone in order to preserve the decency and respectability of a person. Moreover, it is shameful in front of ancestors and disgusting in front of children and grandchildren.

To shave a fur coat, to shoo a moth, to corrode the larvae. But this is only after the fur coat (most of it) gets tired of rotting in the closet. The resulting sheepskin coat, impregnated with antimoly, albeit shortened, will be quite suitable for wearing. Not to the parade, but still. The owner of the moth must pay the bill for shaving and antimol.

Everyone was told in good Russian that only the movement of military vessels and vessels of state ownership is prohibited, commercial transportation - as usual: upon request and by permission, inspection - as usual: maybe, over the last week, which has changed ...
We are waiting for the start of large military exercises ...

Look, you were so scared of our movement of troops that they started talking about abandoning the joint venture. Well, nothing, you Europeans haven't seen a hungry bear yet.

It would be time for the sanctions against our country to rigidly put Europe in its place, and ask the Ukrainian authorities for shelling the civilian population of Donbass. NATO will not intercede for ukroinu, they will simply drive ukrovoyak to the slaughter, accusing Russia of all sins.

NATO has few opportunities with regard to Ukraine versus Russia

I am sure that even if Russia polishes three grunting Baltic "monsters" - members of the alliance, NATO will also express concern and nothing more. Well, maybe some other sanctions will be thrown. and will continue to scream. Fear is great and few people want to die for idiotic ideas.

Well, from a geostrategic point of view, it would not hurt to have more control over the Baltic.

By the evening, the hysteria subsided, but no, the Czechs pulled up again. We did not expect that the Russians would respond so strongly, the European Union would support us, send Russian diplomats. And in response, there is silence. BB and muhamora.

Poroshenko and Kravchuk understand that after what they have done, they can save their skin only under the umbrella of the United States. Hence all their movements to NATO.

"" The European countries that are members of the NATO bloc are assigned the role of a vanguard, which should donatefor the victory of the main forces - the USA "
Let's be honest. Washington's influence on European politics is so great, and its control over NATO and the European Union is so tight that the United States is quite capable of using European countries. as a consumable.
If America takes such a criminal step as unleashing a world war, its politicians, apparently, expect that in the battles in the European and Asian theaters, Russia will be forced to use up a significant part of its strategic weapons. and then the main strategic forces of the United States will enter into action. The fate of the countries on whose territory American troops, bases and weapons are located, as well as of all NATO countries together, American strategists, apparently, do not care much, or rather - does not care in any way."

"In Germany until the early 1990s, according to German media, there were from 150 to 200 atomic bombs. Today the number of warheads is estimated at 20, we are talking about hydrogen bombs of the B61 type.
The deployment of this arsenal is part of NATO's strategy for the joint use of nuclear weapons: as a member of the alliance, Germany is obliged to participate in its nuclear program. This guarantees Berlin a say in the planning or conduct of NATO's nuclear operations. In exchange, Germany is committed to providing aircraft capable of carrying atomic weapons and storing nuclear warheads on its territory. "
