It is an established fact since NATO makes use of a proxy. NATO will have to preserve its ground or implode when that proxy is finished, snuffed out. Much more catastrophic than just the Ukraine issue, to say the least…

The use of proxy is a huge “Catch 22” and NATO will ultimately have to put up and or die. Either way, Russia is in the driver’s seat. NATO/USA is running along side the car and screaming for things to slow down. Huge miscalculations by the Western Coalition are trapping the west in quicksand…

Whenever NATO decides to make a move, Russia is ready to go. Obviously, the USA will ultimately be the one who decides whether to directly engage NATO against Russia. Russia has made it clear that it will not back down…

Hence, the US will either have to man up or dissolve and withdraw from the world stage as an entity…

Putin merely reminded the western fools that Russia is poised. They opt not to take on NATO beyond the borders of Ukraine, unless NATO’s actions exceed what they are now. As with the destruction of Ukraine, Russia will compel NATO to make an appearance and impale themselves…

The difference is magnified by resources and logistics…

Lots of rope has been given and the west can tie a good hangman noose for itself…
