Why does NATO not seek peace with Russia?
Sun 11:26 am +00:00, 19 May 2024 2NATO rightly claims to be a defensive alliance so it should continue to avoid provoking war with Russia. Russia has not invaded a NATO country which is the trigger wire. War would of course follow were Russia to attack a NATO member.
NATO led by the dominant US power needs to be clearer about its plans for Ukraine. It is not good for Ukraine to be able to largely hold the line but be unable to win. Clearly if the EU and US do will a Ukrainian victory as they say they do they need to expand weapons supplies greatly to show Russia the West can win any battle of ammunition and weapons production. Putin has turned to a new Defence Minister said to be good at cranking up Russian war production. This is no time for the EU and USA to be reducing their commitments if they both want a Ukraine win. The Ukraine war has shown NATO weapons stocks were low and has led to more investment in weapons manufacture and more orders for the armourers.
At some point there will need to be negotiations and a ceasefire. It is strange how current debates and US policy are dominated by the imperative of a ceasefire in Gaza to end civilian deaths whilst preoccupied with continuing and intensifying the war in Ukraine where civilians and reluctant conscripts are also being killed.

Am I the only person to find the question in the title to this article totally absurd?
NATO hasn’t been a defensive organisation for years and neither does it stay in the North Atlantic (e.g. Libya, as well as the Ukraine).
War is a fabulous gravy train for those who think they rule the world. Perhaps they did, but that is rapidly coming to an end. Witness how freaked out they have been over the Putin/Xi hug.
I suggest everyone listen to the Richard Vobes interview about Tartaria; Depopulation and resets have been occurring at intervals for millennia, always directed by the same families; war and famine are two of their primary tools. Anderson suggests that the previous reset took place from 1776 onwards; there is so much to learn on this topic, particularly as it explains what we are experiencing now. Suddenly everything makes sense. There are many videos on the topic of Tartiaria; one place to start is with the orphan trains, or the mud floods. Anderson points out that Kazakstan is probably the last remnant of Tartaria and that Putin presented their President with an old map of Tartaria recently, which was actually reported in the public domain, as I remember seeing a photo of this occasion. Anderson thinks that more people will survive this reset than the previous one, because of more awareness, but sadly even many whom on thought might be “awakening” are already heading toward the nearest needlecraft centre as the pressure to do so mounts.
