“Since the Soviet collapse, alphabet bureaucrats and NGO representatives almost outnumber military personnel in every operation and exercise.”
Hyperbole that lacks perspective.
“Since the Soviet collapse, nation building has become NATO’s new offensive weapon in our bid to encircle Russia.”
Merely your opinion. Incorrect, opinion.
“Having outlived its original purpose of defending Western Europe against Soviet invasion, NATO has morphed into a tool of Western economic dominance of Eurasia. The pattern of its expansion illustrates this very clearly.”
Let me fix this for you. Having succeeded as the bulwark against big Statist Soviet aggression and prevented Europe from being invaded, NATO remains the wall against Soviet/Russian/Communism/Nationalism and its dangerous natural instinct to dominate its weaker neighbors.
“The Black Sea disputes are border disputes for Russia, and Moscow is not going to accept NATO’s dominance of its southern border and its close seaborne approaches. Not without a fight.”
LOL, Russian conscripts and war-fighting ability is a command and logistical nightmare for Russia, not NATO. Frankly, NATO without the US would make quick work of Russian forces.
The only reason that Russia is attacking Ukraine is it knows there is no alliance to automatically bring NATO in. Putin depends on the useful idiots of appeasement to dominate weak nations.
We will not deploy to Ukraine and we should not. Russia is paying its own price in loss of credibility, even as a multi-polar power. The West can exact a heavy toll on Russia in the terms of both future economic damage and strategic alliances, if it so wishes.
However, your Alex Jones conspiracy nonsense falls flat. What is going on not broad conspiracy but the same power politics and realpolitik that has dominated international relations for some time. Only the relationships have been tilted away from superpower balance of power to multipolar/superpower balance of power.
I don't know anything about Alex Jones, but I do recognize that an historic long term power shift is underway. The Cold War killed one great power and mortally wounded the other; the Soviet Union is dead and gone, and the United States is exhausted and near bankruptcy. But like all government programs, the apparatus and alliances of the victors live on, seeking new purposes to justify their existence and funding. New powers rise under protection of the tired and broke old champion.
Power politics and realpolitik are indeed going on as before, but the roles of its players are in transition. The United States retains the world's greatest military and its reserve currency, but the same was true of Great Britain at the outset of the Great War that sealed its decline. America is pledged to fight on behalf of more countries around the globe than ever before, but our military and financial ability to honor those binding treaty obligations is now questionable at best. The path we are on leads to ruin.
Don’t be silly, once the Russians and the Americans shoot at each other, it’ll escalate into a nuclear war. Therefore it won’t happen.
