... ‘outcasts’ into the first echelon does not mean a rearrangement of the elites, but instead the normalization of the newcomers. The EU/NATO framework has a high safety margin to keep the political field within the same parameters. This brings us to the question of whether we should expect any changes in course that would affect Russian interests. So far, the answer is no.

... and Poland.
The purpose of this simple propaganda fantasy is clear: to convince Western Europeans that if they do not
“invest fully”
in supporting Kiev, they may end up with a war on their own territory.
It is telling that almost no one in the EU dares to publicly ask whether Moscow is interested in a direct armed conflict with NATO. What would its aims be in such a war? And what price would it be willing to pay? Obviously, even posing such questions could lead to accusations of spreading Russian propaganda.

The Risk of Escalation
The danger of the Ukraine conflict escalating into a wider European conflict is a significant concern. Several factors contribute to this risk:
· Geopolitical Tensions: The conflict has heightened tensions between NATO and Russia, with both sides engaging in provocative military maneuvers and rhetoric. Any miscalculation or unintended incident could spark a broader conflict involving multiple European nations.
· Economic Pressures: As European economies suffer from energy and food shortages, social unrest and political instability ...

In reality, the mood is complex. The main source of danger is now perceived not to be an adversary (Russia) but rather a leading ally (the United States). The internal political struggle in America – the main casualty of which has so far been military aid to Kiev – and the likelihood of Donald Trump entering the White House are forcing Western European states to consider the unthinkable. Will the United States abandon NATO altogether and shift its priorities? After all, Washington’s declining interest in the Old World is not an anomaly of Trumpism,...

Russia does not have such acute contradictions with Sweden and Finland as it does with Ukraine, but the positive potential of their non-aligned policy has now been exhausted. Therefore, the current confrontation between Russia and the West manifests itself ...

Armed to the teeth
This current Ukraine-Russia conflict, a NATO war against Russia, is, like all wars, bringing only misery and suffering. Even now there will be no winners, only losers. With one exception: the global arms industry. As it is with all wars, it is neither about democracy nor human rights, but about ...
