“NATO
is using the situation in Ukraine to push closer to Russia's border,
according to the Russian deputy defense minister. He says the
Alliance's activities have expanded considerably over the past years.
In their push, Anatoly Antonov says Allied forces are ignoring
diplomacy.”
“According
to the minister, what NATO is doing is completely out of proportion
with what NATO commanders call the build-up of Russian forces on its
side of the border in Ukraine. 'NATO's activities are many times
greater than Russia's.' However, he added they aren't a threat to
Russia's security.”
“All of
this is being done to restrain Russia and punish it for refusing to
play along with rules set by the West, according to the official.
[...] He added that NATO currently can’t be considered the pillar
of world freedom and security it is cracked up to be. All this
doesn’t bode well for relations between the US and Russia, Antonov
said.”

What we see in Ukraine is
probably another failure of various think tanks, mostly from
Washington, which they are funded, of course, by the international
capital. It seems that, apart from the fact that they have
underestimated Putin's abilities, they have also wrongly estimated
that Russia had passed permanently in the neoliberal phase and
would be ready to become an easy victim to promote their plans.
According to these plans, the ultimate goal would be probably to
dissolve the vast Russian territory in future and bring in power
Western-friendly puppet regimes, in order not only to conquer the
valuable resources, but also to impose permanently the neoliberal
doctrine on "unexplored" regions and populations.
What was left to do, for the
moment, is to challenge Putin in order to drag Russia in an
endless attrition war in East Ukraine and this explains to a
degree Putin's hesitation to act like he did in Crimea. Against
Russian army, of course, the West will not risk to put an
organized military force, but only teams of mercenaries of private
armies, as already did. It is certain, however, that, despite that
the global economic oligarchy has lost valuable time because of
its wrong moves, it will not give up its plans for Russia easily
