NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine is morphing into a direct EU-Russia war. And the war hawks in Brussels are further escalating by attacking civilians in the Donbas and Russia proper. The doves in the Kremlin, including Vladimir Putin, are running out of options to keep their own hawks under wraps. As things stand now, an all-out EU-Russia war is not only a possible, but by now a likely scenario. But to what end?

In last joint Ukraine-NATO maneuvers, Ukraine demolished NATO units, and while this might pass unnoticed among the warmongers like von der Leyen or Kallas, everyone paying attention noticed that Ukraine war shaken the entire modern battlefield concept and European armies are now not only badly coordinated and unprepared for peer conflict as before, but also obsolete, and no real complex modernisation is possible due to deindustrialisation and USA meddling.
