For the first time since the Cold War: NATO will approve a plan for war with the Russian Federation - Reuters
This step means a fundamental change, because earlier the North Atlantic Alliance did not consider it necessary to develop large -scale defense plans, even during wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The publication notes that because of the war in Ukraine, which has been the most bloodiest in Europe since 1945, NATO concluded that such plans were needed long before the conflict with Moscow could erupt.
"The fundamental difference between the crisis and collective defense management is as follows: not we, but our enemy determines the time frame . . . We must be prepared for the conflict to arise at any moment," said one of the Higher military officials of the Alliance, Admiral Rob Rob Rob Rob. Bauer.
In addition, the historian of the Supreme Staff of the Joint NATO forces in Europe (Shape) Jan Hope has explained that the Alliance is not preparing to wage a large -scale nuclear war against the Russian Federation and its allies, as most of them are now NATO members. "We do not imagine the type of war, which was the" Cold War "when the forces of the Allies . . .
would be struck at the same time as the widespread attacks of the Warsaw Treaty," he said, pointing faster to regional conflicts that need to be restrained quickly through the deployment of forces. We will remind, on May 18 the deputy chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev spoke about the call of Henry Kissinger to make Ukraine part of NATO.
According to the former President of the Russian Federation, our country's accession to the Alliance will lead to a direct clash of NATO with Russia. Earlier, the classic of modern philosophy, author of the most popular political concepts of Francis Fukuyama stated that it is impossible to achieve a stable truce between Ukraine and Russia without Ukrainian membership in NATO.
