When have the Whites ever honour their words? There is no honour among thieves.
Nato
was not supposed to expand an inch towards the Russian border, and look
what happened with all the former Soviet Union satellite states. All
have been absorbed into Nato. What happened to that inch that they
agreed upon? Gorbachev had been conned and will go down in history with a
bad name. You can never expect the Whites to walk the talk, not when
there is no written agreement to fall back on. Even with agreements, it
is of no consequence.
Ukraine was the only material buffer zone
now seperating Russia from Nato, and is the 'Red Line' that Putin is
protecting. The loss of Ukraine to Nato will be a catastrophe of bibical
proportions for Russia. Putin will never ever let that happen. There is
now talk of setting up a buffer zone within Ukraine itself, but I just
wonder whether Putin will even agree to that. When that happens, part of
Ukraine will probably end up in Nato, which is still an arrangment that
affords the USA the chance to move its missiles closer to Moscow.
China's
control export of Gallium and Germanium is putting a squeeze in weapons
manufacturing in the USA and the West, and Ukraine is in for another
winter of discontent and so does Europe. Another pipeline between
Finland and Estonia was just blowned up, and immediately a day after,
the blame is on Russia. No investigation needed, just automatically
Russia comes to mind. Everything the the West seems to run on autopilot.
