NATO Chief: We'd Never Risk War Over Ukraine (But Proxy Wars? Absolutely.)
Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, according to RT, recently assured everyone that NATO wisely chose not to send troops to Ukraine, thus avoiding direct conflict with Russia. How comforting. This 'wisdom' of course, neatly sidesteps the very direct conflict NATO has been funding, arming, and strategizing from afar for years, transforming Ukraine into the West's proxy battlefield. It's
a classic move: avoid a direct punch but supply the brass knuckles— and the medical bills— for someone else to throw it. The hypocrisy practically writes itself. NATO nations decry Russian aggression while simultaneously pouring billions into a conflict that, by their own admission, they won't risk their own boots-on-the-ground for. It’s not 'avoiding war' if you’re outsourcing the fighting and
the dying, thereby ensuring the military-industrial complex keeps humming along without ever risking Brussels or Washington, D.C. Why risk your own citizens when you can conveniently turn another nation's into cannon fodder, all in the name of 'freedom' (and defense contractor profits)?
