'NATO has no choice' but to end Putin's war | Yuri Felshtinsky
"NATO has no choice but to defend Ukraine...if they want to limit this war within the borders of Ukraine."
NATO must end Putin's war in Ukraine or face nuclear war in Europe, says Yuri Felshtinsky, author of Blowing up Ukraine, the Return of Russian Terror.

months ago, after serious threats of nuking Ukraine, the US made quite clear that there would have been a serious retaliation on Russia. Now only imagine if and only if mafia boss Putin is going to nuke one NATO country. By the way NATO has no nuclear weapons, the states which own it would use them, not NATO itself. Hopefully mafia boss Putin and his mob won't activate the MAD hypotesis, noetheless Yuri Felshtinski is giving an unusual insight on how those gangsters think, quite scary.

The US is using NATO to drive a wedge between east and west, knowing that if Eurasia ever unites, the US's position in the unipolar world they created is lost. Allow me to explain: As it is the petrodollar that funds the US military and it is demand for this fiat currency that determines its value, the US needs to have resources traded in dollars in order to maintain the military strength that is above and beyond what any nation not benefitting from their currency being the world reserve currency has. Enter the proposed BRICS gold backed currency (to be decided in august): This coin is a serious threat to US hegemony because of the reasons above and is the driving factor for the US to promote war in Ukraine (where most of the pipelines that transport primary energy from east to west which would eventually need to be paid for in the new currency are) and to blow up the nordstream pipeline. Obviously getting Russia to appear to be the bad guy plays into their plans as well, whereas it is actually the US trying to push NATO east despite having promised to leave Russia with buffer states that was cause for Russia to take action.
This man has a unique perspective. Born in Russia he thinks like a Russian, and can thus mind read the FSB and Putin. "if the victim does not think straight, beat him harder until he does". Scary reality, All Western politicians should take his perspective in to account when planning policy and moves. Only strength deters Russians.

The man is exactly right when he says that "the only way to end this war is to win this war." Far too many people seem to think that there is a way to end it by negotiation. As a historian he has learned from the past and Western politicians should listen to him. Direct attacks into the border regions are necessary to degrade Russia's ability to operate in Ukraine. Attacks deeper into Russia, by either Ukrainian assets or Russian sympathisers, are helpful even if for no other reason than bringing the war home to the Russian people.

Everything Felshtinsky says made complete sense until, at the end of the interview, he says Putin would use nuclear weapons against Lithuania and Poland. If that were to happen, the response from Nato would be so devastating that Moscow would be destroyed and Putin would be the first casualty. So perhaps Feshtinsky needs to rethink his vision here. The more likely scenario is that Nato will allow Ukraine to use western weapons to attack strategic military targets inside Russia and Belarussia, such as air-fields, ammunition dumps, fuel depots, command & control centres, and that some of these targets would be in and around Moscow itself, just to bring it home to the ordinary citizens of Russia that Putin is a tyrant who is bringing death and destruction to his own country, including 200,000 Russian soldiers either killed or wounded so far. The Russian people need to wake up, smell the coffee and depose Putin and his brutal genocidal regime. They need to learn, like the Poles, that power lies in numbers of ordinary people, opposing the regime. Solidarnosc!

The fact that the nuclear weapons are Russian is what would be the significant factor in any retaliation. Belorus would be considered as nothing more than a launch platform in much the same way as a Russian submarine two hundred miles off the coast of a target nation. Neutralising it would not be as important as making a retaliatory response at Moscow once missiles had launched unless it was believed that there were more waiting to go.
Yuri Felshtinsky's analysis of how the war is to end, is to attack Russian soil is absolute, as he points out there is no real threat to Russia and loss of life is irrelevant.

The US is using NATO to drive a wedge between east and west, knowing that if Eurasia ever unites, the US's position in the unipolar world they created is lost. Allow me to explain: As it is the petrodollar that funds the US military and it is demand for this fiat currency that determines its value, the US needs to have resources traded in dollars in order to maintain the military strength that is above and beyond what any nation not benefitting from their currency being the world reserve currency has. Enter the proposed BRICS gold backed currency (to be decided in august): This coin is a serious threat to US hegemony because of the reasons above and is the driving factor for the US to promote war in Ukraine (where most of the pipelines that transport primary energy from east to west which would eventually need to be paid for in the new currency are) and to blow up the nordstream pipeline. Obviously getting Russia to appear to be the bad guy plays into their plans as well, whereas it is actually the US trying to push NATO east despite having promised to leave Russia with buffer states that was cause for Russia to take action.
It's good to see Ukraine conducting there special military operation in Russia,already though ay!
Agree about if the nukes will be used it will be from Belarus because Russia is to cowardly to fire them from the homeland.

The US DOD has messaged Putin that use of even tactical nuclear weapons that it would mean a personal existential threat to Putin. Former Amb Bolton (not a part of the current government) said the same thing also publicly. If the death of a dictator is required, Americans are pragmatic enough to do the job.

True, Putin doesn't care how many Belarusians or indeed Russians perish in the war which he started, but he most definitely cares about the survivability of his own regime. Any use of tactical nuclear weapons would directly imperil Putin and his government, and he would quite literally be toast should he decide to go the strategic route. In other words, Putin can do this the hard way or he can do this the HARD way.

Hahahaha. I love the cope and cognitive dissonance involved in trying to concoct a lose lose situation for Putin. If NATO was that sure they could easily beat Russia they would've installed a no fly zone long ago at the beginning of the war like Ukraine literally begged for and sent in NATO troops long time ago. The fact that this is existential for Russia and not NATO or the US gives the west pause, because Ukraine isn't necessary for the west's security but keeping Ukraine neutral is for Russia's. You see Ukraine isn't the hill the US wants to die on....but for Russia it's existential since it's right on it's border, so all this braggadocio and pontificating is laughable. "Oh this will imperil Putin and that will imperil Putin so Putin loses either way" is just some bullsht people who can't stand that fact that despite all their efforts Russia is attriting Ukraine, say. Russia would quicker nuke Ukraine than allow it to become a NATO member on Russian land, and if you think the US self preservation instinct is so low that it would risk its own destruction to avenge Ukraine, then you're dumber than Elensky.

No you are missing a big factor. The Kola Peninsula where pretty much all of Russia western pointing ICBM's are located are now bordered by NATO. This means a rapid surgical NATO strike force to pre-emptively take out all of those missile bases is far more feasible. You can bet NATO have been war-gaming such a scenario for many decades but Finland were always strictly neural. Putin has effectively checkmated himself. Finland joining NATO is the single biggest event in the security of Western Europe since WW2 ended.
