Nukes, Nukes, Nukes

Yes, yes, yes

Folks, it’s hight time we told the truth: NATO sucks.

Yes, I know many of you will start arguing that but look, it’s such a big Alliance who’s helping you (well, not really, but ok) and is also this and that.

Correct, very correct, and I’m not being sarcastic here.

But here’s the deal: it’s just not good enough. Even the former NATO’s chief Jens Stoltenberg acknowledged it in his interview with the FT shortly after he resigned for good.

It’s not NATO’s fault per se. Rather that it unites countries whose agenda has been so infiltrated by Russia and China (hello, Viktor) that you don’t really understand what its purpose is anymore.

Before 1991, the Cold War era, sure, it was apparent.

Now what is it exactly? Other than issue statements, promises, and asking to spend more on defense?

Look at the pathetic inability of NATO to shoot down Russian missiles that enter Romania’s or Poland’s airspace.

Or look at Rutte’s reaction to Zelenskyy’s Victory Plan who said that he can’t ensure Ukraine’s swift accession to the Alliance.

No, that doesn’t satisfy a hawk like me. I don’t need all these promises that one day Ukraine will become a NATO member state. But we don’t know when and other fluff.

You know what your problem is? It’s cowardice.

And I don’t like cowardice. I like action and decisions. And I truly have no idea, whether NATO, even in its current compassion, is willing to protect its eastern flank by triggering Article 5 let alone if Ukraine joins.

Because at the end of the day, any type of help can take on very different forms: either you supply 1000 Abrams tanks and 500 HIMARSs to Estonia within a week. Or you just donate a little bit of this and that, slow walking weapons to your allies.

Don’t take it from me, take it from a person who worked at the Pentagon-affiliated Rand Corporation (it’s not Samuel Charap) who told me absolutely the same in our private talks.

I don’t want that. I don’t need beautiful words or beautiful headquarters or communiques.

Or this gibberish about everyone being united.

I need nukes — just like Ukraine does.

We used to be a country with one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the world. We surrendered it in exchange for “security guarantees” from the US, the UK, and Russia (!!!) in 1994 after signing the lousy Budapest memorandum.

And here we’re. 30 years later, touring around the world asking for ballistic missiles and tanks while our people are dying.

No, thank you.

Make Ukraine nuclear again.
