NATO’s Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, during an interview in NATO’s Brussels headquarters, with the Washington Post’s Editorial Board, represented by Lee Hockstader, and published by the WP on May 9th, said that Ukraine definitely will become a NATO member. Here are the key excerpts, and their meaning:
“All NATO allies agree that Ukraine will become a member of the alliance. All allies agree that Ukraine has the right to choose its own path, that it is not for Moscow, but for Kyiv, to decide.” If Ukraine, which has the nearest of all foreign borders to Moscow, only 317 miles or 5 minutes of missile-flying time away from blitz nuking Russia’s central command in The Kremlin, were to join NATO and then request and receive from America a nuclear missile to be placed there, that would be as-if Russia were to place a nuclear-warheaded missile in Albany NY, 310 miles away from America’s central command in Washington DC. Sumy in Ukraine is only 317 miles away from Moscow. Stoltenberg is saying that Russia has no right to object to America’s placing a missile in Sumy, just like America has no right to object to Russia placing their missile in Albany if Albany requests Russia to do that. According to Stoltenberg: if Ukraine joins NATO and then requests America to place that missile-launch-site in Sumy, that’s none of Russia’s concern. Similarly, then, if Albany requests Russia to place its missile there, just 310 miles away from Washington DC, nobody in Washington DC would any right to object to that. If Ukraine and America should be allowed to do that to Russia’s central command, then Russia and Albany should be allowed to do it to America’s central command. One of Russia’s “red lines” it had stated as a precondition for not invading Ukraine was that America and NATO would agree not to place any such weapon that near to The Kremlin. America and NATO refused even to negotiate about that. This refusal was the main reason why Russia invaded Ukraine. If Russia and Albany had insisted upon their right to place Russian nuclear missiles in Albany, then Washington DC would have invaded Albany. But that wasn’t the case. Instead: America and its NATO anti-Russian military alliance insisted on their right to place American nuclear missiles in Ukraine if Ukraine joins NATO and requests that; and, so, Russia invaded Ukraine, in order to prevent it from being able to happen.
Stoltenberg is saying that America and Ukraine have this right, and that Ukraine will become a NATO member, and that whatever Ukraine and America then agree to do to Russia is only for them to decide, and is none of Russia’s business.
His statement there that “All NATO allies agree that Ukraine will become a member of the alliance” meant that every single member of NATO agrees with Ukraine and America that Russia has no business concerning itself with whether or not America will be able to place its nuclear missiles 317 miles away from The Kremlin. Russia has no right to be concerned about that. Russia has no right to conquer Ukraine in order to prevent becoming checkmated by NATO. This is out-and-out war by NATO against Russia. He’s saying that NATO will win it.
Stoltenberg also stated: “The war didn’t start in 2022. The war started in 2014. And since then, NATO has implemented the biggest reinforcement of our collective defense since the end of the Cold War.” This is true, and it means that all of the NATO and other U.S.-and-allied statements to the effect that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 started this war between NATO and Russia are clearly false — U.S.-and-allied lies. He is saying that Obama’s coup during February 2014, which overthrew the democratically elected President of Ukraine and replaced his Government with one that was selected for Ukraine by the U.S. White House, started the war in Ukraine. He is saying that WW III — America’s war against Russia — began in February 2014.
He acknowledges that America in February 2014 stole Ukraine from the Ukrainians and placed its own selected people in charge of its government and news-media, and that America and its allies are going to keep it, until those U.S. missiles get placed 317 miles from Moscow and Russia’s Government will then be checkmated. He knows what is at stake here, and so does Russia: it is the success or else the failure of America’s plan to checkmate Russia, by sacrificing its Ukrainian pawn (the utter destruction of Ukraine, if that is what Russia will need to do in order to protect itself from that checkmate) in order for the U.S. regime to achieve its objective. For that reason, there is now under consideration in the U.S. Congress legislation to commit America to invade Russia if Ukraine fails to conquer Russia on Ukraine’s soil.
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
The Nazi pig is not only deranged he is deluded, Ukraine will never be in Nato, before this is over it may not exist.
There are no nazis and commies anymore, at least they are few. These people are all neoliberals.
Yes they are nazis.
Stoltenberg is social democrat aka neoliberalism with roses.
Neoliberals are nazis.
They can have the same money lenders but not the same.
How old are you kid ? Please don’t use the man toilet till you’ve get 18, at least.
Says a “man” with a name called “kurwa”. Such a joke.
neocon and nazi , the same methodology , the same high moral standards. it’s the neocon controlling us and uk foreign policy . the neoliberals are not any better, fucking perverts .
Russia ran out of redlines to be crossed. Not it’s time to retaliate against the Evil.
If Russia has to drop a few nuclear warheads on “Ukraine” to prevent this, then so be it. Obviously NATO knows very well that Ukronazistan can’t win a conventional war against Russia and they are trying to provoke Russia into nuking Kiev so they can cry how Russia is evil again. If this happens, “Ukrainians” have only themselves to blame for their legendary stupidity and blindness.
What nuclear warheads? Whoever does it will lose badly.
Maybe tactical nukes going to be used, if NATO keeps pushing Russia’s boarders … it is going to happen, many famous russians requested tactical nukes and are loud on it, but Putin sits with patient awaiting USA’s and NATO’s and EU’s first mistake.
Why nukes? Everybody that uses nukes is condemned. After all, many Ukrainians can be Orthodox brothers.
Please read my comment to JerryDrakeJr on Lavrov … etc. .
It will be condemned by the whole world.
Greece become a low end Jusa whore long ago…..when was a country in total bankruptcy. That was not only very lucrative for the fiat dollar toilet papers but also a great tool of vassalization. Soon they will get rid of the orthodoxy in this shithole, on the same Kukrainii pattern. Good news are Greece will be not alone: soon Romania, another atlantic poophole colony will take EXACTLY that path.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to drive unwanted guests out of your yard by shitting around in your yard… they’ll leave and you’ll be left to clean up the shit…
With tacticals no harm to Russia. This would make USA to drop targeting Russia, because u-Kraine going to be naked land left for many years to recover. If USA wants to continue war, next nukes could go to USA. If Russia attacked by NATO, North Korea targeting all NATO members and its allies. China and Iran going to help both Russia and N.Korea because China is next target hybrid war.
It is not that simple. These four countries have different interests. For example, Russia is not opposed to South Korea, China is not opposed to Ukraine and most of the BRICS are not against Israel.
North Korea has nukes thanks to Russia and China. Not sure is Iran involved too.
NK will dissolve soon from the inside. Many Koreans want a united Korea.
That is a big question. If citizens asked it could be “maybe” true. But I think N.koreans suffered a lot sanctions, they know true face of NATO. As long South Korea bows down to NATO there is going to be North Korea and South Korea.
I will give you example. NATO destroyed Yugoslavia. Some people want yugoslavs reunited, I am one of these people. Many don’t want unity, so much hatred NATO created.
But North Koreans suffered much under that regime also.
To quote Lavrov on answering about nuclear war : Who wants this ?!
So if Russia not attacked to feel in danger russians not going to use nukes.
But as I stated previously some russians are loud about it.
Tactical nukes were suggested by one of russian top military commanders 2 – 3 months ago.
If the case let the russian invade ukraine and nothing to do with nato and us. For those ppl out there, if you still got the brain plz use it, dont waste your valuable live just for a few greedy ppl like the one above.
Stoltenberg is insane ,he needs to be admitted urgently to a mental hospital and also all those like him.
China has to stop sitting on the fence, they must know they are next in line, together the Zionists might think again.
“Hello, Cuba. About those missiles you ordered a while ago..”
As in WWII, USA dreams is that Europe and Russia being destroyed by a nuclear war, and USA remains intact without any strong losses. Yes, USA can keep on dreaming, the reality will be totally different.
Because the US morons have fogotten that 50 russian nuclear subs armed with hundrets of nuke missels dive in the atlantic and the Pazific Ocean. These aone are enough to pulverise each bigger City in whole USA.
US can only be attacked by China.
Nope. Putin said he has underwater missiles which can create tsunami anywhere on west coasts of USA.
To far for that and too few soldiers.
I trust Putin and russians, because Putin would not state it if they didn’t test it.
It will be done by a Chinese-Mexican alliance. They have the numbers.
NATO is desperate Russia to fail SMO in u-Kraine. Looking for any trigger to like ukrainian membership into NATO, to push more countries against Russia in direct war. It is not about u-Kraine or war, USA is running out of time maybe so they badly want Russia’s land, because Yellowstone could wake up.
And Israel wants ukrainian land.
The so-called Israel nation revealed its true self, the criminal elite Khazar which use Judaism as a weaponized tool.
The only good thing is that Israel’s citizens are waking up to reality world in their country.
If Yellowstone wakes up, it really doesn’t matter where you are on this planet… Stock up on woolen socks and food for the next 10,000 years…
I have heard Russia is safest place.
Will treat you sick, you and all the idiots who think that threatening with nuclear will change something, in case you didn’t know that if there is a nuclear war even trolls like you disappear from the map, for now the Russians are not immune to radiation and while NATO thieves pray that it never happens because after a year and a half it still doesn’t stand in the same place against a poorly prepared army, the rest is propaganda inside
Stop listening to MSM for change. When you listen to other side, you will figure out I am quoting other side who is attacked by your MSM friends trolls, etc. . I mean does not do any harm to you western puppets to hear other side that you want desperately to nuke off and destroy. If for example Medvedev is russian president, west would be nuked down. So pray that Putin stays president.
lol you’re nothing more than a headache and a parrot that only repeats the delusions of its owners, but even the most informed Russians don’t believe in that retarded rhetoric anymore
You like lies. This is why you troll around or you are bot.
I am for truth. I always listen both sides, so I can see truth. If I listen only to one side it is brain washing and is dangerous for everyone who do it.
As i said many times since the SMO started, call in all 2 Million reservists, pull out all heawy armament that works from the Reserve depots, push the donbas Front 100km to West and north, capture whole southwest coast with Odesa and landlink transnistria. If NATO and US than stil will place missiles in Rest of ukropistan, than send few dozent of the same to Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran , Serbia and North Corea.
So many people wish same, so endless nazi wars put to en end. But Russia does not want to start WW3, they are trying to prevent it and stop hybrid wars creating multipolar world, they know takes time and victims because they play by rules and laws. If Russia provoked and in danger what you wish is going to happen.
There are more and more proxy wars around the world all thanks to USA, in middle east USA will be soon cornered together with Israel if Israel don’t come to its senses. These proxy wars can clash in many countries provoked by USA, so countries need to find way to make USA weak ( with ammo they nearly running out, $ is weaken, banks falling down like domino effect, USA becoming 3rd world country coming to civil war as 2024 election coming ). So wait, relax and enjoy Hollywood movie at their door step. Multipolar world is going to defeat USA and their allies or their allies going to turn back on them.
Good news: yesterday Putin signed a decree in that aspect: ALL reservists, 2.7 millions are sent to the training camps in batches….
The body double you mean
Kukraine will be liberated by the next phase, a VSMO -A very….operation. Shitbrainberg need not worry about all the legalities as these will be taken care of by the VSMO.
The ‘Nazi’ is Talmudic Jewry—AshkeNAZI?..Uh Duh
by time the russians get done with ukraine , nato will want no part of it . it will be a landlocked hell hole , ungovernable.
