While officially founded to supposedly respond to “Soviet aggression”, the post-Soviet version of NATO has evolved into an organization that can carry out Western aggression against Russia, with these latest war games bearing testament to that fact.
Using the Ukrainian Crisis as their ‘plausible excuse’, the US and its allies have set out to provoke Russia in any way that they can, all the while manipulating its defensive responses and falsely reporting them as “unprovoked aggressions”.
This war of hybrid intrigue has plunged relations between Moscow and the West to an all-time low and cast doubt on the prospects that they could improve anytime soon.
