As a survivor of WW2, who slept two years with his boots on, I am shocked about how ready people are, nowadays, to march towards a nuclear war, as if it were a stroll in the park. In the recent past, we watched, on TV, serious military conflicts in other parts of the world, and the only victims from the U.S. were those military personnel who paid the ultimate price, and those who were physically and/or mentally damaged, as a result of those actions. Evidently, not enough damage was experienced to make those in power try to avoid such conflicts as much as possible. These political warmongers see only the profitability of such actions, and are always ready to offer more victims to profit any way they can.
This time around, a WW3 nuclear war will see no winner! I doubt it can be watched on TV for entertainment. Just go back in history, and see what these little Atom Bombs were capable of, against Japan's cities bombed. These nuclear weapons employed against Hiroshima and Nagasaki, had an explosive yield equivalent to about 15 and 20 kilotons of TNT, or 15,000 to 20,000 tons of TNT. Now, imagine what these new versions of Hydrogen Bombs can do. The largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, was a hydrogen bomb with a 50 megatons of TNT yield (a 1 megaton weapon would have the energy equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT). Did you get the picture?
In October 1962, we were close to nuclear war because the Soviet Union tried to install missiles on the island of Cuba, very close to U.S. borders, to be sure. This could never be acceptable to the U.S. and President Jack Kennedy, demanded that all missile en-route to Cuba be returned to Russia. Eventually, within weeks Russia's vessels made an u-turn, heading back to Russia. No country can tolerate that lethal weapons be installed, close to their backyard, so to speak.
The Minsk agreements, were signed in Minsk in 2014 and 2015, and were to ensure that peace would begin within the Ukraine and all parties, including Russia, would coexist peacefully. These agreements were also signed by Germany and France, the Guarantors. Ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel is on record, by recently stating that these Minsk agreement, which to this day have never been implemented, were just a way to buy time for the militarization of the Ukraine. Others made similar confessions.
The fact that Ukraine is seeking to join NATO, which would allow the installation of nuclear weapons at the border with Russia, plus the war within Ukraine, against Russian-speaking people, prompted Russia, most likely, to start its military actions against the Ukraine regime.
Just like President Kennedy did not allow the planned installations of Russian missiles on the Island of Cuba, near the U.S. border, so most likely, President Putin, has a similar objection against the plan of Ukraine becoming a member of NATO. Who can blame him?
It is my understanding, NATO was created strictly as a defensive organization, however, more and more it becomes evident that this is no longer its sole purpose, as now its leaders are preoccupied with offensive expansions, aiming at regime changes in Russia, and any country that objects to their change in mission. The irony is, NATO appears to be bent on destroying itself, by butchering the economies of its members. For example, by blowing up the Russian gas pipelines, recently, it crippled the economies of its members, particularly that of Germany. This can hardly be classified as a defensive action by NATO but is more like an aggressive action against Germany by removing its necessary energy supply.
What was NATO's main purpose? "Its purpose was to secure peace in Europe, to promote cooperation among its members and to guard their freedom
– all of this in the context of countering the threat posed at the time
by the Soviet Union. The Alliance's founding treaty was signed in
Washington in 1949 by a dozen European and North American countries." https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Why+was+NATO+formed&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi92cXUyvf8AhVkGDQIHY-nBT4Q1QJ6BAg0EAE&biw=1173&bih=518&dpr=1.36
This must see video, the link of which is shown below, presents the expert opinion of Colonel Douglas Abbott Macgregor, about the Ukraine conflict, as presented by Clayton Morris who interviewed him.
