The Italian general warned: strategic failure casts a shadow on NATO

According to RCO News Agency, Italian General Marco Bertolini in an interview with L’antidiplomatico pointed out that NATO’s plan for a strategic strike on Moscow not only failed, but also had the opposite result for the alliance itself.

He warned that the end of the conflict would mean defeat for NATO and the entire Western bloc, because they had invested in a war that was supposed to inflict “strategic defeat” on Moscow, but now it seems that (defeat) has loomed over NATO itself.

The former NATO general said that “even in America, officials are realizing that further escalation could lead to defeat for the West.” For this reason, US President Donald Trump has recently moderated his tone and refrained from openly hostile statements against Russia. However, several European countries still insist on the need to impose a strategic defeat on Moscow.

He added: It is not yet clear how and when the conflict in Ukraine will end, but the balance of forces in the field leaves little room for optimism in London, Washington or Brussels. What is certain is that this confrontation will not end with the current stage of the war.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Moscow has long been fighting not only against Ukraine, but against the entire NATO. Therefore, Moscow considers the Western weapons sent to Kiev as legitimate military targets.

General Bertolini also emphasized that currently the North Atlantic Treaty has moved from a defensive function to the export of the American model and has begun to express its desire to conduct peacekeeping operations.

British Defense Secretary John Haley recently said that the “coalition of the willing” which includes the countries supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) is now ready for peace. According to him, this organization, which is constantly changing, expresses its willingness to intervene in the conflict resolution process.
