Security Guarantees for Ukraine – EU Prepares to Enter War
Armstrong Economics ^ | 29 Aug 25 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 08/29/2025 3:38:26 PM PDT by delta7

Peace talks are a moot point between Russia and Ukraine. Security guarantees for Ukraine have been at the forefront of Ukraine’s discussions but they are actually a premise to determine how other nations will officially enter the war. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni proposed an ambitious security guarantee that would require allies to decide within 24 hours whether to deploy troops to Ukraine if Russia attacks.

“Allies” could use any excuse to send their men and women to the battlefield under this premise. Zelensky has been urging for Article 5 protection—an attack on one is an attack on all—despite Ukraine not being a member of NATO. Entering the conflict under Article 5 is voluntary, but the situation can only remain voluntary for so long when other members become further embedded in the conflict. Ten European nations have already offered to send troops to Ukraine. Zelensky insists that long-term restrictions on its military should be eliminated.

Ukraine would ideally like to join NATO, but NATO has never been willing to accept Ukraine as a member of its alliance. Instead, paying NATO members will offer Ukraine the very same protections they enjoy as the globalist powers abandon domestic sovereignty for a needless war. Europe knows it is crumbling under its own foot due the surmounting sovereign debt crisis, and rather than accept fault, the plan is to conquer Russia to bypass defaults. The computer indicates that this plan will fail.

I am preparing a report on the sovereign debt crisis for the 2025 World Economic Conference that will discuss this plan in further depth.

The European Union cannot admit its socialist experiment has failed, so it needs a distraction. Historically, when governments are bankrupt, they turn to war, and this is not a new strategy but human nature coming into play. The neocons in Washington are eager to play along and drag the US into Europe’s proxy war.

The cost of living is skyrocketing among all developed nations, and rather than acknowledging failed policies or changing course, the West has decided to create a common enemy–Russia. Russia is the reason that the people are voting against their failed policies, according to the West and mainstream media. Russia is the reason that energy prices are rising, as they certainly cannot blame climate policies that have murdered the energy sector. Taxes are rising because of Russia. The forces that be would like the people to redirect their anger to the common enemy rather than revolting as they see the rising civil unrest and growing private debt burden.

Meloni said “there are clearly no easy solutions when it comes to stopping a war and building peace,” but she now realizes that peace is not an option.

She showed potential at the beginning of her term, but has fallen under the thumb of Brussels. All of Europe, aside from Hungary’s Orban, has bowed to Brussels. The war will not be enough for the continent to hold on to its decaying union.

Europe doesn’t have the will, the money, or conscription.

Talk is cheap.

--- "Europe doesn’t have the will, the money, or conscription. Talk is cheap." And Europe's lobbying is incessant.

No need. The courts are doing the job for them. Why make deals with the US President for better trade deals if the court has veto power over the Presidency?

why would a Venezuelan or any other illegal actually self-deport if they see the “Maryland Man” and the courts giving them such inspiration to stay inside the US?

Why would China sign a trade deal with the US if the courts stop the tariffs? Better to wait

Of course it does. The intent to replace European populations continues.

If you want a mass movement, you need an enemy to focus animosity on. For Hitler, it was Jews. For the Ayatollahs it was the Great Satan. For Democrats, white supremacy. The requirement for an enemy is that it is large enough to be unable to be beaten, while being small enough that beating it can be imagined. Climate change and Russia are the same type of enemy. Too big to beat, but small enough to think they can be beaten. Read The True Believer by Eric Hoffer. Way smarter than Saul Alinsky who probably also read it.

Europe’s problem. But they will do anything to suck us into it. War is what they do. The whole world suffers for it.

Article 5 is not a “We WILL join in if you are attacked.” It’s a “we could join in…”. Or we could write a sternly written letter.

People should really read Article 5 before tossing it around like a suicide pact.

The problem with mass immigration, starts with a UN treaty. END IT... Let them hang, and kick them off of our shores.
