Soldiers – Nova Makedonija

Sending troops to Ukraine, even if it is democratic and peaceful, looks like a continuation of the expansion of NATO tentacles even closer to Moscow. Folk wisdom says you should not touch the bear or hang the lion while sleeping, and logic says you should not go fire with gasoline

The main stumbling block in the relations between the East and the West was removed with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Before that, everyone lived in relative peace of fear, knowing exactly how their authority extends.
Now, 35 years later, the price comes for recovery. We were collateral damage in the fall of the Berlin Wall, a wicked indicator of realistic dimensions of what could one day happen on a larger scale in the absence of world wisdom. The lesson did not learn, we came close to the abyss. The pebbles of the wall were rolling from the Brandenburg Gate to Helsinki, stuck in the military boot and increasingly rubbing the soles. It began with the violated promise of the North Atlantic Alliance that, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it would not spread the east.
They constantly ignored their word without blinking, and NATO was part of the former eastern bloc. Ukraine was apparently the last drop. Plans to bring Kyiv into the western sphere have caused fierce reactions from Moscow. The war with unforeseen consequences has entered its fourth year. The trial premises for a peace treaty have been achieved, but the absurd situation of a serious war on the composition of the peacekeeping forces has emerged. The insistence of French President Emmanuel Macron, under the agreement of British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer and future German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, to send international troops to Ukrainian territory, which will include troops from NATO member states, despite the fierce opposition from Russia. The tenant of the Elysee Palace is right when it says Ukraine is a sovereign country.
Serbia is also sovereign, so that did not prevent others from breaking it up. As if it was forgotten that there are political games outside the sovereignty and, above all, the strategic interests of the great powers. It seems that, unlike that of NATO, which covers different peoples and cultures, the Russian interest extends as much as the Russian language.
Sending troops to Ukraine, even if it is democratic and peaceful, looks like a continuation of the expansion of NATO tentacles even closer to Moscow. Folk wisdom says you should not touch the bear or hang the lion while sleeping, and logic says you should not go fire with gasoline.
