NATO or bust...

agreedagreed

 

Russia previously slammed the alliance's creeping expansion, saying that NATO should return to the positions that existed at the moment of signing the 1997 Russia-NATO Founding Act. The Russian Foreign Ministry has underscored that strengthening NATO’s military potential near Russia’s borders poses a national security threat.

 

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Sunday the bloc would never pull allied troops from member states that had joined it since 1997, but is ready to discuss arms reduction with Russia.

 

"Of course, we cannot agree that we should have no NATO troops in all the countries that have joined NATO since 1997. That’s actually half of our members," he said in an interview with CBC News airing Sunday.

 

This would mean having a second-class NATO of countries not protected by the alliance, the secretary-general said, adding "we will never introduce that."

 

"But we are ready to engage in balanced, verifiable measures to reduce arms, conventional nuclear missiles and that kind of things. That would be good for Russia and good for NATO," Stoltenberg said.

 

On Monday, Russia and the US held a strategic stability dialogue meeting in Geneva. The bilateral talks were followed by a NATO-Russia Council meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, the first since 2019, and OSCE talks in Vienna the next day.

investing in WW3...

Is US President Joe Biden taking notes from the Trump administration on jockeying defense stocks? The question has to be asked in view of American military industrial stocks getting boosted by all the play on the tensions in Europe. What other reason could there be for lighting the fuse on World War III? Let’s take a short look at the stock and investment play of late.

Let’s focus on Raytheon first. In January of 2021 the makers of the Javelin anti-tank weapons Washington gave Kyiv had a big problem. Stock hit a year’s long low of $65.02 as the year began. Then in October 2021 Russia warned NATO not to move on Ukraine membership. Boom! Raytheon shares hit $92.32.

There was yet another interesting selloff of Lockheed Martin Corporation stock that took place between October 25th and 26th. The other company making Javelin missiles climbed to over $376 dollars per share from $336, and the next day dropped to $331. Analysts covered the defense contractor attributing the selloff to slumping sales revenue. Let’s look at other defense stocks for a better idea of what’s going on at the doorstep of Moscow. On October 27th of 2021, Boeing shares had slumped to $206.61. Then by November 15th, powered by a buy rating from Barrons and others, the stock hit $233.09. Then it tanked to $188.19 in two weeks after dropping by almost $8 bucks per share between November 15 and 16. Barrons reported the stock being worth $300 a share the same day it tanked.

Then take a look at General Dynamics plans to sell tanks to NATO juggernaut Poland, as last October a report came describing Polish plans to buy 250 M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 tanks. Take note, 250 main battle tanks do not bolster a force, they create one. But for what? Early in 2021 there was no talk of Putin invading Ukraine? For those curious, General Dynamics stocks have fluctuated from a high of $210.21, to a low of $144.50 this past year.

Finally, it’s widely known that President Biden’s son Hunter has investment deals that often seem to conflict with US policy, at least patriotically. This Financial Times report hits some up front high spots. News that Hunter helped the Chinese secure one of the biggest cobalt mines on Earth, right after his dad warned that China could use its dominance of mined cobalt to disrupt America’s development of electric vehicles… Well, you get the point.

The extent of Russia’s worries over the Ukraine/NATO push of late stretch beyond what any major media outlet has outlined. Ukraine is not only being fed “lethal” weapons systems, American defense contractors have signed agreements to help Kyiv build its own weapons systems, some of which are offensive in nature. This report talks about Global Ordnance, Lockheed Martin and Harris Global Communications, a part of the L3Harris Technologies, inking deals to help build up the country’s defense industry.

Meanwhile, Russia’s President Putin is trying to avert a shooting war that now seems imminent. Imminent, that is, unless the US military industrial complex bets on a new Cold War, instead of a “lethal” and hot one. I’ll leave you with a final advice from Motley Fool about investing in military stocks: “Military spending is a must for much of the developed world.”

Why is Germany supporting NATO against Russia, in relation to Ukraine? UKRAINE IS A NAZI COUNTRY WHICH HELPED Germany invade Russia during WW2... But Ukraine was not always averse to Russia nor was a NAZI run country beforehand... What has changed? The West, including Germany, supporting the Nazis in 2022?

 

During World War IIReichskommissariat Ukraine (abbreviated as RKU) was the civilian occupation regime (Reichskommissariat) of much of Nazi German-occupied Ukraine (which included adjacent areas of modern-day Belarus and pre-war Second Polish Republic). It was governed by the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories headed by Alfred Rosenberg. Between September 1941 and August 1944, the Reichskommissariat was administered by Erich Koch as the Reichskommissar. The administration's tasks included the pacification of the region and the exploitation, for German benefit, of its resources and people. Adolf Hitler issued a Führer Decree defining the administration of the newly occupied Eastern territories on 17 July 1941.[2]

Before the German invasion, Ukraine was a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, inhabited by Ukrainians with RussianPolishJewishBelarusianGermanRomani and Crimean Tatar minorities. It was a key subject of Nazi planning for the post-war expansion of the German state. The Nazi occupation of Ukraine ended the lives of millions of civilians in The Holocaust and other Nazi mass killings: it is estimated 900,000 to 1.6 million Jews and 3[3] to 4[4] million non-Jewish Ukrainians were killed during the occupation; other sources estimate that 5.2 million Ukrainian civilians (of all ethnic groups) perished due to crimes against humanity, war-related disease, and famine amounting to more than 12% of Ukraine's population at the time.[5]
