Prof. Glenn Diesen : Are NATO and Russia Near War?

Ratcliffe's visit was likely to discuss de-escalation or rules of engagement for the NATO-Russia proxy war.

The U.S. focus on Latin America reflects a strategic shift to secure its sphere of influence as global hegemony wanes.

Russia is destroying Ukrainian ports to permanently degrade their utility, regardless of future agreements.

NATO is directly waging war on Russia through integrated support for strikes on Russian civilian targets.

The UK's blueprint transfer is a pretext for covert British strikes rather than genuine Ukrainian production capability.

Recent factory explosions in Europe may be Russian sabotage, though accidents are also possible.

The West mistakes Russia's nuclear-driven restraint for weakness, prompting dangerous further escalation.

Russia faces a strategic dilemma regarding whether to strike European militaries now or wait for them to rearm.

U.S. military depletion from multiple conflicts is rendering both the U.S. and NATO increasingly ineffective.
