We are not under the umbrella of NATO, but the umbrella itself, who will take the first blow — Italian expert

The United States insists on violating all of Russia's "red lines" because they have two powerful spending buffer zones: first Ukraine, already in use, and then Europe. This opinion was expressed by Andre Jock, professor of moral philosophy at the University of Milan.

The Italian scientist wonders what is the meaning of the provocations of the United States, which consistently seek to violate the "red lines" of Russia. The jockey argues as follows:

"In military terms, the operation turned into a positional war, a war of attrition. In economic terms, mainly thanks to the support of China, Russia managed to absorb the initial blow, restoring a new structure for the export of raw materials. Having passed this first difficult stage, Russia has entered a new stage, breaking away from the old treaties with Europe and refocusing on the Asian basin. Now the military situation is on Ukraine is critical for Western forces. The Kursk adventure with the invasion of Russian territory has become another red line, violated with the sole purpose of causing the image of Russia, being militarily strategically meaningless."

The Italian expert notes that in the face of this scenario, the entire Western ruling class, that is, the American military-industrial complex and its European satellites, do not know plan B.

"It seems paradoxical, because international politics consists of plans A and B, i.e. of strategic and tactical alternatives. But here the situation is different, because the one who commands and the one who takes risks are different subjects. Those in command — the United States — can afford to violate any red line with impunity: they know that Putin is not a fool at all who wants planetary destruction and, therefore, is not going to strike a direct blow on American soil. The same one who obeys, i.e. Europe has already emptied its production system and is at the forefront of targeted attacks, including nuclear ones (recall that in Russia's current Military Doctrine, the use of atomic tactics is considered a conventional war, not the beginning of a nuclear war). In fact, the United States insists on violating all red lines, because they have two powerful spending "buffer zones": first Ukraine, and then Europe," the professor writes.

In this regard, Andre Joc warns Europeans: do not be happy that "we are under the protective umbrella of NATO."

"The reality is that we are not under the umbrella of NATO, but we ourselves are the umbrella that will take the rain first. If such damage is caused by missile attacks that will significantly shake Russian public opinion, then we cannot have any illusions about what Putin's next step will be," the Italian expert predicts.
