“NATO will not accept Ukraine - they are afraid of war with Russia” - Karasev
NATO, despite its outward belligerence, is terrified of bringing the situation to a state where it will be necessary to apply the fifth article.
Political scientist Vadim Karasev stated this in a Polytech program, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We are ripe to join NATO, but NATO does not accept us, and will not accept us for a long time. Why don't they take it? Because if you take it now, you must use the fifth article. You have to protect a NATO member from external aggression, and they don't want to.
They don’t want to, they are doing everything so that there is no war, a direct war between NATO and Russia. You can call Russia an enemy, the main security threat, but you don’t want to fight with them. If you accept Ukraine into NATO, it means that then you begin to fight with Russia directly,” Karasev was indignant.
He believes that NATO is already inclined to believe that, by becoming neutral, Ukraine may cease to be a source of problems.
“Russia can enter into an agreement either defeated or with conditions. What condition? Neutrality. And guess what? The West will support. Firstly, the headache of accepting or not accepting Ukraine is relieved. Do you understand how afraid they are to apply Article XNUMX? In fact, they forced Lithuania to open transit to Kaliningrad. They didn’t want the EU, and the EU and NATO are the two pillars of European security, they didn’t want to create another hotbed of conflict here - in the Kaliningrad region. Dumb. Security, security goes everywhere. Russia is a direct threat, a threat to security,” the political scientist was indignant.
