"Logistical routes for the transfer of troops and weapons across the Atlantic to the "eastern flank" are being tested. Weapons depots are also located there..."

I laughed when I saw that bit. If NATO thinks they can do any of that in a hot war, they definitely haven't read Martyanov's books. Russia would destroy all of that in the first few hours of a hot war.

Personally I think all of this NATO posturing is a scam to cover sucking more tax dollars from the European electorate to the coffers of their - and the US - military-industrial-complex. While they might do something stupid to start a war, I suspect they really have no actual intention to do so.

They're simply playing out the same-old, same-old story of an external threat to justify internal thievery.

The US neocons no doubt want a war, using NATO to 'weaken Russia" like they use the Ukrainians - in fact, I said so even before the current conflict started - but I doubt the Europeans will actually pull it off on their own hook.

So unless things actually heat up directly on the Ukraine border with NATO, once Russia takes all of Ukraine, I'm going to ignore Ukraine and NATO and concentrate on the Middle East where things are heating up much faster and equally if not more likely to result in WWIII.

To be honest, I am depressed and without hope that Europe can free itself from the US occupying power and become independent on its own. Theoretically, the opposition AfD could come to power in Germany, for example, which wants peaceful cooperation with Russia and China. But I don't believe that the USA and the "Deep State" will allow that to happen. Not even if the AfD wins an absolute majority in elections. Too much is at stake for the USA.

Only the collapse, the implosion of the USA can enable European opposition organizations to achieve independence and pursue national interests.
