The US and NATO are already at war with Russia. This is what a recent trove of leaked Department of Defense revealed.
There’s no other conclusion that can be drawn. You need to know about this so you can plan accordingly. The chance of some sort of a tactical error mushrooming into a much larger conflict is very high.
The fact that the US has once again just sort of slid into this without a single declaration of war speaks to the decrepit nature of US politics. And EU politics. I am unaware of the good people of Germany having any specific say in the fact their country is both at war and a ridiculously neutered vassal state of the US.
I mean, come on, the US blew up their main energy pipeline and the German politicians didn’t even say one complaining thing about that.
The second thing I observe in these incredibly detailed documents is that the entire combined surplus military stockpiles of NATO have now been mostly reduced to charred wreckage by Russia. These pieces of equipment have been “demilitarized” as they say.
This means that the entire procurement apparatus of the West is now exposed for what it became over time – hideously expensive and not fit for purpose, which was supposed to be “ready to fight a war.”
This too has enormous geopolitical implications, already borne out in the fast-paced diplomatic gains of China these past couple of months.
