What’s The Likelihood Of A NATO-Russian Clash Around 2030?<\/span><\/p>\n

If Russia continues fighting this \u201cwar of attrition\u201d for years to come instead of decisively ending it soon, then it\u2019ll be more vulnerable than ever to the \u201ccordon sanitaire\u2019s\u201d invasion threats around 2030, thus compelling it to either capitulate or resort to nuclear weapons in self-defense.<\/strong><\/p>\n

RT<\/a>\u00a0drew attention to Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko\u2019s recent assessment that \u201cwe proceed from the premise that [NATO is] really preparing for a military clash with Russia somewhere around 2030.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>This followed the\u00a0National Defense Strategy<\/a>\u00a0declaring that \u201cEuropean NATO dwarfs Russia in economic scale, population, and, thus, latent military power\u201d, but these resources must be properly managed in order to unleash their full potential. The US seeks to fulfill this management role for the EU.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, it was concluded that \u201cThe EU Poses A Much More Credible Threat To Russia Than The Inverse<\/a>\u201d, which preceded former President and incumbent Deputy Chair of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warning about the\u00a01941-like threat<\/a>\u00a0posed by Germany\u2019s remilitarization. Earlier this month, former top Russian spy Andrey Bezrukov\u00a0raised awareness<\/a>\u00a0of the \u201cnew war\u201d that he believes that Russia is in and which might last decades, one primary goal thereof being to neutralize its nuclear capabilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grushko\u2019s assessment coincided with the start of Trump 2.0\u2019s \u201cwar of attrition<\/a>\u201d against Russia, so taken in sequence, it\u2019s arguably the case that the US hopes to atrophy Russia through Ukraine prior to the EU becoming powerful enough to threaten a then-weakened Russia with invasion. The \u201ccordon sanitaire\u201d that formed around Russia over the past year largely due to Trump 2.0\u2019s\u00a0Neo-Reagan Doctrine<\/a>\u00a0could also lead to Turkiye and\/or Japan threatening the same in order to obtain maximum concessions from Russia<\/p>\n

This US-organized geostrategic construct was built in the Arctic-Baltic\u00a0through UK-led efforts<\/a>, Central Europe\u00a0through Polish-led efforts<\/a>, along Russia\u2019s entire southern periphery\u00a0through Turkish-led efforts<\/a>, and in Northeast Asia\u00a0through Japanese-led efforts<\/a>.<\/strong> If Russia\u2019s nuclear capabilities are neutralized or severely degraded by that time, then it might be coerced into\u00a0selling controlling stakes<\/a>\u00a0in its state natural resource companies to the West for pennies on the dollar, which is Trump 2.0\u2019s grand strategic goal.<\/p>\n

Given this goal and the modus operandi of first trying to achieve it through the incipient \u201cwar of attrition\u201d against Russia before threatening the use of force by around 2030 if that fails, Russia\u2019s urgent interests are as follows. It must swiftly end the\u00a0Ukrainian Conflict<\/a>\u00a0on as many of its terms as possible in order to then focus on preparing for potentially impending clashes with the US-led \u201ccordon sanitaire\u201d. Remaining embroiled in the \u201cwar of attrition\u201d will sap its strength and make it relatively weaker by then.<\/p>\n

Between now and then, Russia must also employ creative means for breaking this \u201ccordon sanitaire\u201d or at the very least preventing it from\u00a0extending to Kazakhstan<\/a>, which could\u00a0potentially involve<\/a>\u00a0prioritized intelligence operations against\u00a0shadow NATO member Azerbaijan<\/a>\u00a0or even another\u00a0special<\/a>\u00a0operation<\/a>. <\/strong>In parallel, it might also\u00a0leverage its influence with North Korea<\/a>\u00a0to embolden Kim Jong Un to carry out more missile and possibly nuclear tests, hoping to abruptly shift the US\u2019 focus from Europe to the Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n

If Russia continues fighting this \u201cwar of attrition\u201d for years to come instead of decisively ending it soon, then it\u2019ll be more vulnerable to the \u201ccordon sanitaire\u2019s\u201d invasion threats around 2030, thus compelling it to either capitulate or\u00a0resort to nuclear weapons<\/a>\u00a0in self-defense. Neither scenario is favorable, but both would be due to Russia failing to\u00a0restore deterrence<\/a>\u00a0by then.<\/strong> It\u2019s therefore imperative to immediately restore deterrence, swiftly win the Ukrainian Conflict, and then break this new \u201ccordon sanitaire\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
