Confrontational Mania Gets Dangerous

 

With the Ukrainian crisis dragging on, the politico-military confrontation between Russia and the U.S. and the West is moving towards a more dangerous phase.

It can be proven by the recent remarks of NATO Secretary General. While updating on the Foreign Ministerial Meeting of NATO member states, he stated that the possible delivery of “Patriot” guided missile system to Ukraine is now under consideration.

In this regard, the Vice-Chairman of Security Council of Russia warned NATO that, in case it delivers the U.S.-made “Patriot” system to Ukraine, those will be official targets of the Russian armed forces.

Meanwhile, the European Parliament adopted a resolution which labels Russia as “sponsor of terrorism” in an attempt to tarnish Russia’s external image and internationally isolate it. In this connection, Russian foreign minister scoffed at this saying that only doctors can make comments on such a hysteric decision.

The U.S. and the West are now crying out for an earliest possible end to the bloodshed in Ukraine, but, in fact, they continue to foment the conflict through increased arms assistance to Ukraine and persistent sanctions and pressure against Russia.

Biden administration is planning to include US$ 37 billion worth’ additional aid fund in the 2023 fiscal year budget. EU states are also escalating the confrontation with Russia while discussing on the issues of continuous military aid to Kiev authorities including anti-aircraft missile and other weapons of all kinds.

Over this situation, the experts on international affairs are commenting that the goal of the U.S. and the West is to drag on the Ukrainian crisis as long as possible so as to weaken Russia’s national power to the maximum and to increase security threat.

The reality vividly shows that the persistent anti-Russia military threat and sanctions and pressure racket of the U.S. and the West are indeed the root causes of undermining the peace and stability of the region.
