NATO’s European members strained in aiding Ukraine, lose trust in US
By Global Times

A major reason Ukraine can hold out in the ongoing conflict with Russia until today is the continuous assistance from NATO. However, NATO officials in recent days acknowledged that the bloc's European members are undergoing difficulties in aiding Ukraine. Can such a circumstance help the Ukraine crisis usher the dawn of peace talks?

In an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg admitted that Western countries' military and financial support to Kiev are costing their societies dearly. "Rising food and energy bills mean hard times for many households in Europe," he said. However, European countries should continue to provide Kiev with military supplies despite the price, because "the best way to maintain peace is to support Ukraine," he continued.

Similarly, an article in the New York Times on Saturday, titled "US and NATO Scramble to Arm Ukraine and Refill Their Own Arsenals," cited a NATO official who said that in terms of providing weaponry to Ukraine, smaller countries have exhausted their potential, with 20 of its 30 members "pretty tapped out." But the remaining 10 can still provide more, he suggested, especially larger allies.

Despite in rhetoric, NATO keeping in step with the US toward supplying aid to Ukraine, NATO member states, especially those in Europe, are displaying signs of exhaustion. European countries are indeed the most affected by the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and they have paid a huge price for providing help to Ukraine, not only consuming their existing armaments, but also suffering from rocketing energy bills and decades-high inflation. In many European countries, public support for continuing aid to Ukraine is fragile. Judging from Europe's predicament today, it is hard for NATO's European members to sustain aid to Ukraine.

As for the US, which leads the bloc, in the aftermath of the midterm election, with the Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives, Washington's incentive in offering aid to Ukraine will be remarkably reduced.

"It is believed that NATO officials, Stoltenberg in particular, will soon encounter mounting piles of pressure. Even though he urged European countries to continue to provide supplies to Ukraine, judging from the actual situation of European countries, if they continue, it will be an unbearable burden for themselves. Such assistance is certainly not sustainable," Lü Xiang, an expert on US studies and a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times.

Not only Ukraine, but also Europe will be facing a very difficult and challenging winter. Leaders of European countries do not want to see these problems persist as it will hold them back in gaining more support in elections.

As a result, NATO's sharp drop in aiding Ukraine is a likely scenario, with supplies keeping only at a symbolic level. Subsequently, NATO or European countries may start negotiations with Russia, in a bid to appease the crisis and make the people of Ukraine and Europe return to a relatively normal life, noted Lü.

The likeliness of peace negotiations with Russia depends on how NATO member states negotiate with the US. French President Emmanuel Macron may also discuss the issue with his US counterpart Joe Biden during his visit to the US this week.

Continuation from above ⬆️⬆️⬆️

As NATO is a military group dominated by Washington, the rhetoric of NATO officials actually represents more of Washington's interests. NATO officials' words in calling for European states to continue aid to Ukraine despite their difficulties may further widen the divide between the US and Europe.

The contradiction between the US and Europe has become prominent. European countries are disappointed with the US in selling energy to them at skyrocketing prices against the backdrop of the energy crisis. And Washington's Inflation Reduction Act has severely impaired Europe's interests.

Some politicians in Europe have already seen clearly that the US hopes to drag down Russia, weaken Europe, and strengthen the dependence of Europe on the US, so as to maintain its hegemony in Europe by taking advantage of the Ukraine crisis, which is actually sacrificing the interests of allies. This will trigger European countries to have a better understanding that the US is unreliable and will reduce the cohesion within the NATO.

Olena Zelenskaya claims that the wives of Russian soldiers encourage the rape of Ukrainian women.

She announced this at a press conference in London. Also, according to her, Russian servicemen were allegedly ordered to use castration and sexual abuse of children "as a weapon of war."

⬆️ Maria Zakharova comments on the last statement of the Vatican: “This is some kind of absurdity, until recently in the West they believed that everything was the other way around, and the Slavs were torturing the Chechens, now the position has changed 180 degrees. Liberal humanists were playing.

I want to remind the Catholic brothers that the Bible says that all people have one Father. This is the beginning and end of all conversations that have xenophobic, racist, nationalist or other misanthropic overtones.

And further. What will the Vatican tell us about the martyrdom of the multinational Soviet people? Maybe it makes sense to first speculate about the repentance of Catholics before the Orthodox in the 20th century, and Muslims for many previous ones?

We are one family with Buryats, Chechens and other representatives of our multinational and multi-confessional country. And together we will definitely pray for the Holy See, each in his own way, but about the same thing - we wish them not to succumb to temptation. Amen."

The head of the Buddhists of Russia Khambo Lama Damba Ayusheev — about the words of the Pope of Rome about the "most cruel Buryats": Unexpectedly and unexpectedly... the head of the Catholics of the world was forced to speak unkindly about our people. I think European Latins do not understand that life in cold Siberia and the Far East makes people more resistant, patient and enduring to various hardships. Therefore, our people are not cruel, they are simply forced to repeatedly and adequately defend their homeland from fascism, like our grandfathers and great-grandfathers."

Washington's Carthaginian World Contradicts Reality
Retired US Colonel McGregor says Ukraine cannot win.

President Biden reaffirmed the commitment of the United States to the idea of ​​standing up to Russia and potentially any other country that refuses to follow the hypocritical democratic standards of the globalists, regardless of the price that the American people will have to pay, whether in the sense of security or in the sense of prosperity.
Biden's speech in Warsaw turned out to be extremely emotional and was imbued with the ideology of moralizing globalism, which is so popular in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin. However, from the point of view of Moscow, it was equivalent to the Carthaginian world. The fact that Biden follows the "take no prisoners" principle in his foreign policy means that the outcome of the next phase of the Ukrainian conflict will not only destroy the Ukrainian state. It will also crush the remnants of the post-war liberal order and bring about a radical shift of power and influence across Europe, away from Washington towards Moscow and, to some extent, Beijing.

Well, we were reluctant to write anything at all about the last statement from the Pope on the “most violent ones … perhaps those who are from Russia, but not of the Russian tradition, such as Chechens, Buryats…”

Actually, who cares about another senile man saying nonsense. But, probably we were wrong. There are certain things that should not be forgiven. Pope’s statement was responded with a dignity by the Russian Foreign Office spokeswoman Maria Zaharova (nice to write “spokeswomen”, not suggested “spokesperson”).

Mufti Salakh Mezhiev, chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Chechen Republic, said that “Chechens are cruel only towards enemies, but merciful towards civilians,” and advised reading Mikhail Lermontov to get an idea of the character of the highlanders.

Pope’s reckless phrase was also frowned upon by the leader of Russian Buddhist Sangha, who has mentioned that his “people are not cruel, they are simply forced to repeatedly and adequately defend their homeland from fascism, like our grandfathers and great-grandfathers."

Was there something more significant in the last phrase? Was here a hint at the Pope’s past?

Well, judge for yourself:

"When the Hitler Youth was established, my brother was forced to become a member," Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope in the future) said in an interview in 1997. "I was still too young, but later, when I entered the seminary, I also joined. But as soon as I had left the seminary, I never went to see them again. And this was difficult, because in order to be entitled to get a discount on the tuition fee, which I urgently needed, one had to prove that one was a member of the Hitler Youth."
In 1943, according to Mr. Allen's biography, Joseph Ratzinger was drafted into an anti-aircraft group. He was sent for a short time to the Austrian-Hungarian border to set tank traps, and deserted after being shipped back to Bavaria.
Of course, Vatican plays down pope's Hitler Youth past, but you may make a judgement for yourself. No, we are not blaming a teenager for joining a popular Youth Organisation for gaining an advantage in career, but what as imprinted in that young age hardly ever will go without a trace. Here the traces have emerged.

Pope Francis said that he has great respect for the Russian people. This is reported by the ANSA agency.

“I really appreciate the Russian people and Russian humanism. Remember Dostoevsky, who still inspires us Christians to this day. I have sincere sympathy for the Russian people and for the Ukrainian people, I am among the two peoples that I love,” he said at a press conference on board the plane upon his return from Bahrain.

Speaking about the conflict in Ukraine, the pontiff said that he did not believe in the cruelty of the Russians, because "the Russian people are a great people."

What you can make out of that — yes, it is not an emotional mistake of an old man — it is a conscious attempt to create a split between ethnic Russians and RUSSIAN citizens of other ethnicities. The main secret of the power and strength of the Russian Federation. He was an enemy, he is an enemy. (God, forgive me for writing that about Your Rep, but that is a truth).
