The September war

Putin's geopolitical vision is a United States hegemonic desire for power over Europe, including the countries that gravitated in the Warsaw Pact. The conduct of the Russian leader, however, does not seem to be dissimilar to that of Obama, starting with the annexation of Crimea to the continuous tests aimed at assessing NATO reaction times.

The tension between the two blocs has produced a significant increase in military spending and exercises that have also involved the Allies. The deployment of forces in the field to carry out these trainings is such as to represent a real force of invasion or contrast.

The "Trident juncture" of the Atlantic Alliance is the most important and ambitious exercise in contemporary history and it seems, indeed, more than a show of force, a movement of troops and means to conceal aggression in Ukraine.

The Russian move was to extend the training of the Air Defense in progress to the Xulum of October in Ashuluk Oblast, about 15 kilometers from the border of Ukraine.

The state of affairs convinced Putin to sign an order that Tass named "September of war". The document authorizes the use of nuclear weapons to stop the possible attack by NATO, which should initially target the Ukrainian separatist forces and subsequently take control of Crimea.

The first to take sides in the Southern Military District, were the missile regiments with the tactical ballistic carriers Iskander-M and 9000 soldiers. The forecast of Russian strategists is that the Ukrainian military 65.000, in operational readiness near Donetsk, will attack the Crimea instead of trying to cross the Russian border, therefore it will be necessary to eliminate the heavy artillery lines put in defense of the invasion and then block the Ukrainians with 50.000 Russian soldiers lined up on the borders of Ukraine itself. In support of the latter will be the 20 Russian Army. At this very moment, the Atlantic Alliance will wage war on Russia.

In all this, Tass ignores the fact that NATO summer exercises have revealed serious deficits in Western troops, deficiencies that denounce the difficulties in a prolonged war against the ancient enemy, so it would be easier to foresee the use of nuclear weapons by NATO . In any case, it seems very unlikely that this scenario can be realized, as even if the weapons used were tactics and limited targets, the radioactive fall out would involve a large part of Europe with the result of disregarding the doctrine that the territory wants conquered and undestroyed opponent.

To annex the defeated Nations means to exploit the intellectual abilities and the natural reserves, the true engine to rise to superpower. The greatest danger remains the financial crisis, which is the subject of talks between Germany and France, which attempt to develop a strategy to combat what Euronews has called the September economic apocalypse.

In this context it is possible that we can wage war, but not nuclear war because it would not benefit anyone.
