BRUSSELS, March 24. /TASS/. NATO will not send forces to Ukraine, because it would lead to a full-scale conflict with Russia, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a press conference Thursday.

"At the same time, we have a responsibility to ensure that the conflict [in Ukraine] does not become a full-fledged war between NATO and Russia," Stoltenberg said, answering a question about Poland’s proposal to send a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine. "We will not deploy troops on the ground in Ukraine, because the only way to do that is to be prepared to engaged in a full conflict with Russian troops".

Poland, please do it unilaterally.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg meets with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba at NATO Headquarters on 15 November 2021.

Stoltenberg: "NATO stands with Ukraine."

Sure. On a stage. Before the invasion.

“Well, you’re not a Putin stooge because NATO is a defense pact. “

A “defense pact” that bombed the living hell out of Serbia and permanently ripped big territory from it that it held for long centuries

“Why announce what you are going to do or what you are not going to do.”

That message is probably intended for Russia.

...failing to confront tyranny...

Please, to be telling me, which tyrant should we be confronting? Zelensky is a WEF actor, like Prime Mistake True-dolt. ALL non-government media has been suspended in Ukraine, as have ALL opposition political parties. He is also the favourite of Hans Schwab, the WEF, and George Soros. Is that 'tyranny'?

Russia has been a tyranny since the times of the Tsars. Other than a brief period after the USSR and before Putin, it has been a 'tyranny'.

So which 'tyranny' should we confront?

Appeasement and failing to confront tyranny is exactly how the world entered World War ll.

France and Britain had an agreement with Czechoslovakia to defend them. They reneged on the agreement with the Munich Conference. I'm not aware of the US or any other Nato countries having previously agreed to defend Ukraine in case of attack.

There are a lot of tyrants in the world. Even Trudeau has become a tyrant. Our responsibility to confront the tyrants only comes up where we have national interests. And by interests, I mean something more than continuing the supply of corruption dollars to the children of Biden, Pelosi, Romney, etc.

What concerns me the most is that Putin may decide that pulling NATO into the war could be his grand finale. If he feels he has nothing left to lose, then he just becomes vindictive and angry and just wants to inflict as much pain as he can on his way out. NATO and the western countries seem to have such an arrogance that they are in complete control of this that they are blind to what a desperate Putin might do. At least publicly, they are content for this war to go on for a while. In my opinion, every day this thing goes on is one day closer to when real hell breaks loose.

For sure, ‘the west’ - whatever that means anymore - is ending much more as a comedy then a tragedy. A farce, and the neo con dupes and hores who push ‘rahrah for Ukiedom’ are way beyond ridicule.

When I think of ‘peacekeepers’ I think of the un.

[SoCal Pubbie]

How about the ones invading other countries?

[escapefromboston]

Nuland’s neocon boot lickers are very upset about Americans not dying for a corrupt hellhole like The Ukraine.

[Jim Noble]

Poland better hurry up building their nukes because they may need them sooner than later.

Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are irrelevant.

Once Ukraine collapses, Russia's only pressure point is Deutschland (If we have to say Cote d'Ivoire and Mumbai...).

Russia has a lot to offer Germany. Once the American occupation ends, der Doppeladler will look East again.

And if Germany and Russia come to a meeting of the minds about Generalplan Ost, suitably modified to respect Russian interests, well, what Poland and the Balts think about it will matter not at all.

[Mr. K]

Oh no...

This means they are going to deploy troops in Ukraine to start war with Russia.

[Jim Noble]

This is such a non-story. There was ZERO CHANCE NATO was sending troops to fight in the Ukraine. Absolutely ZERO

A flash of sanity on a site that's gone crazy.

Thanks.

[Thunder90]

Germany would as soon do away with NATO themselves.

I think you meant WW II, not WW Eleven.

In any event, that UK-invented narrative has really not stood up very well, now that 80 years have gone by.

How about the ones invading other countries?

Only where we have a national interest. In the case of the Gulf War, we felt that our economy was at risk to have all the oil from the Kuwait oilfields in the hands of an adversary instead of a friend. If not for that, I believe we would have been hands-off. We don't have a responsibility to get involved in every regional conflict in the world.
