NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg continued to slam Russia today
for violation of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, saying
there is no sign that Russia is making any effort to come into compliance after both the US and Russia confirmed withdrawing from the deal.
The US withdrew from the treaty months ago, and Russia confirmed a
similar withdrawal this week, citing the US pullout. Stoltenberg vowed
that the alliance will “respond” against Russia over the treaty, but did not say what they’d actually do.
The assumption from Russia is almost certainly that the response will be
NATO positioning nuclear missiles in Eastern Europe, near the Russian
border. Since the US withdrew, it has been speculated by Russia that
this was the end-game for the whole INF pullout.
Indeed, Russia has insisted they were never violating the INF in the
first place. The US just continued to insist Russia was violating it
irrespective of evidence. Now, with both sides out of the deal, it
really doesn’t matter, but they keep reiterating the allegations to
justify new measures against Russia.
NATO supremo Stoltenberg demands that Russia adhere to the INF treaty while ignoring that this treaty is now a dead letter–thanks to America’s withdrawal from it.
This is akin to the Eurotrash demanding that Iran continue to adhere the JCPOA nuclear deal–even though you know who (the USA) withdrew from it and European nations that were signatories to JCPOA have not fulfilled their own terms of agreement by going along with American sanctions against Iran.
This is European colonialism in all its arrogance.
I cannot agree more. Eurotrash is indeed the best way to describe this mix of European colonial era supremacism and the new age victim status adulation.
Eurotrash has been at it for a ling time. Ever since they decided collectively to trash international law and bomb Belgrade, all in the name of protecting Albanian minority in Kosovo. EU has been willfully complicit in all assaults on international law. Everything, from Geneva Conventions to Nuerenburg legal legacy — trashed. US is nothing more then a new and greatly improved version of European supremacism. Now, a collective Western effort to simultaneously ignore and take advantage of UN Convention on the Laws of the Seas (UNCLOS).
EU was supposed to buy Iranian processed uranium, and due to US sanctions – it is no longer fulfilling the agreement. BUT it is accusing Iran of — stockpiling! What else can Iran do with it?
In Europe, missile defense launchers can launch not only missile interceptors, but also regular Tomahawk cruise missiles. Sure, Russians are that stupid — you know, wink, wink, all Slavs are stupid.
This is arrogance that today is so twentieth century. The illusion of winning in WWII, followed by the economic success of US — territory that escaped the ravages of war — further instilled the sense of superiority. Superiority grew into full fledged willful romp across the globe. And unable to stop and rethink. Hey, Eurotrash and Cowboys, security in this world must be indivisible. There cannot be your part of the world that is powerful and secure, while others are left at your mercy! It will not happen. There is a process under way that is countering this mindless machine. It may be slow but it is meticulous. All I know is that Russia or China had given up on talking to the presumed superior beings with any expectation of being listened to seriously, or treated as an equal, with respect.
With NATO troops on Russia’s border following the machinations of the US, the US is behind the new Iron Curtain.
The current crisis differs in crucial way from the Cold War: Russia no longer has a buffer zone (South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea and part of Ukraine does not represent sufficient security). While I am not justifying its westward expansion, Russia cannot shrink any further without risking implosion – annihilation. History suggests deterrence doctrine will soon fail us.

The really interesting question is where Russia will not station missiles against the US. Cuban Crisis repeat.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is pathetic, a liar and a US puppet.
