On Monday, NATO signed a new deal with Ukraine to boost cyber cooperation amid simmering tensions with Russia.
Ukraine and NATO first signed a technology-related agreement in 2015, and cooperation has increased over the years. The new deal aims to help Ukraine’s military modernize its information technology and communications services.
“The Memorandum signed today continues our cooperation established in 2015. With NATO’s support, we plan to further introduce modern information technologies and services into the command and control system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” said Natalia Galibarenko, Ukraine’s ambassador to NATO.
Last week, a cyberattack disabled some Ukrainian government websites. On Sunday, Ukraine blamed the incident on Russia, but Moscow denied responsibility and said it had “nothing to do with it.”
NATO-Ukraine cooperation angers Russia, and the new deal comes as Moscow is seeking guarantees that NATO won’t expand further eastward. The US and NATO have rejected Russia’s key demands, but the dialogue between the Western powers and Russia continues.
Once again, this is proof of the duplicity of the US and NATO. The US and NATO say they want “talks”, then immediately ratchet up the tension by doing something to support Ukraine in NATO. This is consistent with how Biden has operated throughout 2021, with regard to both China and Russia. The Russians undoubtedly see this pattern as proof the US can not be negotiated with.
Translation: All your base are belong to us.
Zero Wing, has never held more meaning.
How can the USA∕NATO keep pretending they are interested in dialogue, and blame Russia for aggression when they keep putting more and more “aid” into Ukraine? Knowing that it cannot possibly fight Russia and win unless they join in, which they claim they will not do, why do all the threats keep getting reported as if the USA∕NATO were rational and fair???
It seems to me, this situation is starting to simmer before it boils, or rather the potential seems to exist that we could end up in conflict, if things are not carefully handled… If Russia pulled this happy horse crap around US/NATO positions, we would have already dropped bombs… peace chic
Here is an example of dialogue between Russia/US/NATO:
Russia: You are encroaching in our areas and we are not comfortable with that…
NATO: Tough luck Russia, we are just going to keep on encroaching. But we’ll keep talking with you until we drop bombs…
“Talk, talk, talking, elephant talk…”
