Oops - He Did It Again: General Secretary Admits NATO Has Been at War Against Russia Since 2014
2023-02-27
[ConservativeTreehouse] I must admit that sometimes I scratch my puzzler, when I watch geopolitical influence agents say the quiet part out loud, and yet no one seems to pay any attention.

In case you missed it – a few days ago (2/14/23), NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stepped in front of the cameras for an impromptu presser following a meeting of the NATO Defence Ministers at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

General Stoltenberg openly tells western media that NATO has been in a war against Russia since 2014. That’s when the combined effort of western political leadership, led by the U.S. State Department and NATO forces, overthrew the former Ukraine government and established the country as the center for strategic military operations against Russia. This isn’t the first time Stoltenberg has made this admission.

Against this backdrop, the February 2022 military incursion by Russia into eastern Ukraine (Donbas region), can be viewed as a counter-offensive against the NATO advancement; yet, almost no one in western media seems to hold these NATO admissions as a reference point in their outlines of the conflict.

#12  invasion of our homeland is fixed.

That is wholly a political decision by the Democratic party w/ a lot of support by Republicans. Money is not the problem. Nor is paralysis of the government the solution. The world continues to go on whether we chose to ignore it or not.

#11  I am not against funds going to Ukraine. The EU can do what they like. I am against my tax dollars going there or anywhere overseas until the invasion of our homeland is fixed.

#10  You mad because Ukrainians didn't want to become Russian colony again? That they prefer democracy and European lifestyle over Russian fascism? Those hundreds of thousands protesting were paid off by who? Same for the thousands who faced down snipers with wooden shields and plastic helmets. How much did they get paid?

#9  The 2014 revolution happened when when Russian puppet Pres. Yanukovych cancelled his election promise to seek an association deal with the EU to cozy up with his paymaster. It was at this point that Putin went from subversion to active war. That the EU and NATO did nothing to help the Ukrainians in 2014 is to our shame and Ukraine's sorrow.

I guess all those European/EU functionaries in the new Ukrainian government, all that is bullshit, right?

#8  If NATO were at war with Russia, the Russians would last one week. CTH has swallowed the Russian propaganda wholesale. He has gotten exactly backward who is at war with who.

#4  Herb please. Abu,

There was an old woman of Umma
Who woke and walked out of her tomb.
A Mohammedan passed
And she asked him, aghast,
"On that box... who's addressing the Duma?"
"Barack! He's Islam's Montezuma."

#2  We all know that Baraq Obama was a firm believer in regime change for other countries; most notably Libya, Syria and Egypt. Nobody figured he was serious about it for Russia as well but it's pretty clear now that he is.
