In his (highly recommendable) book "The Russian Art of #War", the former Swiss military intelligence officer Jacques Baud described the reason why the current fighting in Ukraine started out as a "Special Military Operation" within a larger context:

The use of the word "war" would imply a different structure of conduct than that envisioned by the Russians in Ukraine, and would have other structural implications in Russia itself. Moreover - and this is a central point - as #NATO Secretary General Jens #Stoltenberg himself acknowledges,"the war began in 2014" and should have been ended by the #Minsk Agreements. The #SMO is therefore a "military operation" and not a new "war", as many Western "experts" claim.

Les dominateurs occidentaux en bout de course veulent une guerre mondiale, et je suppose qu'ils vont tout faire pour la provoquer au "bon" moment....

#NATO is preparing the population for a situation when the Ukrainian conflict escalates into a world war.
This is evidenced by the fact that NATO Secretary General #Stoltenberg is trying to connect #Ukraine with the #Taiwan question, writes the Global Times.
Moreover, the definition of the Ukrainian conflict is no longer limited to Europe. It is now being touted as a symptom of a "broader global geopolitical conflict".
Now the alliance is making it clear that its main target is Russia, and China is also a potential adversary. Against this background, Stoltenberg continues to promote the need for NATO expansion, for which war is a necessity.
"Without war, this military organization would lose the meaning of its existence. NATO must have a clear goal. If it does not have one, it must create one," writes the Global Times.
Speaking at the non-governmental Heritage Foundation in Washington in January, Stoltenberg said a Russian victory would allow other countries such as North Korea, #Iran and #China to use force. In an interview with Fox News, he then unequivocally emphasized: "Today it is Ukraine, tomorrow it could be Taiwan."

Perfectly Normal behavior : NATO the "defensive alliance" casually threatening #China and saying they're next for dinner:

#Stoltenberg: "If the United States is concerned about China and wants to pivot towards #Asia, then you have to ensure that @Putin doesn’t win in #Ukraine"

#NATO will have “the second biggest army in #Europe (Ukraine) on our side.”

"We'll then have a weakened Russian army and also a Europe really stepping up for defense spending. That will make it easier for you to focus also on China"

Ursula might be the new leader!

A Nato source said that the US president was attempting to convince Mrs von der #Leyen, a former #German defence minister, to succeed Mr #Stoltenberg amid fears a suitable candidate will not emerge in the next 12 months.

“We’re going to have a problem next year when it becomes clear that the field is no stronger than this year,” a second source said.

Mr #Biden and Mrs von der Leyen have built “a strong bond” in recent years, fostering close transatlantic ties over #China, #Ukraine and the #climate, another source said.
