On his blog, Real Scott Ritter, Scott Ritter explains that the future of NATO will be determined at the organization’s upcoming summit in Ankara, and that the situation is very dangerous for NATO vis a vis Russia. He concludes:

It should be noted that NATO cannot afford to build the kind of military necessary to prevail against Russia in direct conflict, and that any NATO-Russia war would not only inevitably lead to the economic devastation of the NATO membership, but also the physical destruction of the very societies NATO was purportedly created to protect.

Next month the NATO collective will gather in Ankara to discuss the way forward for an origination which lost its legitimacy with the collapse of the Soviet Union and can only continue to justify its existence by resurrecting the threat of Russia by provoking Moscow through the proxy war with Ukraine.

As thing stands, NATO’s planned confrontation with Russia is a literal suicide pact. It will lead to the defeat of NATO and the probable extermination of Europe.

The Ankara Summit may prove to be the last Summit NATO ever convenes. Europe today is behaving like a rabid dog, and the only way a community protects itself from such a threat is to shoot the dog.

Russia is getting ready to shoot the European dog.

War prevention must be the priority of NATO going forward. This will require accepting the harsh truth that a Russian victory over Ukraine is inevitable, and that any effort by NATO to seek an alternative outcome by escalating the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will only lead to a direct conflict with Russia NATO cannot win, and as such will likely trigger a nuclear conflict that ends forever the experiment of European civilization.

NATO is playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette, where every chamber of the pistol is loaded, and the outcome certain.

Unless it stops playing the game.

The choice is clear—life or death for Europe and the trans-Atlantic alliance.

And the decision will be made next month in Ankara.

Choose wisely.
