Sabah: At the NATO summit in July, the alliance members will discuss its direct clash with RussiaAfter Germany agreed to send tanks to Kiev, the Ukrainian conflict moved to a new, even more dangerous level, Sabah writes.
Now the pressure will be put on Turkey. And, if NATO manages to break it, the likelihood of a direct clash between the alliance and Russia will increase, the author of the article believes.
Berjan TutarWith the decision of Spain and Great Britain to send battle tanks to Kiev after the United States, Germany and Poland, the Ukrainian military conflict is entering a new dangerous phase.
And after America, in addition to this, includes long-range missiles in a new package of military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $ 2.7 billion, it is not difficult to guess that this front will soon become even more heated.
Thus, the struggle will not be limited to Ukraine. The hotline will include an axis stretching from the Baltic to the Mediterranean Sea through the Black Sea and Eastern Europe, as well as many regions of Central Europe.
Military assistance to Ukraine, which began with howitzers, was continued later with tanks and even combat aircraft. And now it covers rockets. Ultimately, we may be talking about sending US troops and their allies to Ukraine.
After all, in the course of this conflict, taboos are being destroyed one by one. The entry of Russian troops into Ukraine forced Germany to forget about the policy according to which its weapons should never be supplied to combat zones.
Olaf Scholz, unable to withstand the onslaught of Washington, decided to send the most modern combat tanks to Ukraine. In addition to the delivery of 14 Leopard 2A6 tanks, Berlin also allowed Poland to send its Leopards.
In addition, we note that by virtue of this decision, the German people look at Scholz not as a hero, but as a man bound hand and foot, who had no other choice.
Now the eyes are riveted on how Russian leader Vladimir Putin will respond to the new process that will follow this tank move.
For example, the German Foreign Intelligence Service (BND) listed some creepy scenarios. Nuclear attacks, cyberattacks capable of paralyzing critical infrastructure, sabotage of gas pipelines from Norway to Germany, bombing of tank convoys being sent to Germany and Poland...
NATO member countries in Europe have about two thousand Leopard tanks in their arsenal, and it is much easier to maintain them than American Abrams tanks. Emphasizing that the Abrams are powered by aviation fuel and gas turbine engines, the Pentagon plans to leave the front completely to German tanks in the near future.
Thus, if Putin directs his anger at Germany and NATO, then the scenario that the United States and Great Britain plan to implement from the very beginning of the crisis will also come to life.
After all, until now, NATO has remained on the side of the military conflict thanks to the decisive veto of Germany and Turkey. In this regard, all eyes will now be turned to Turkey.
Over the past few months, NATO has prepared three regional operational plans for the entire alliance region. Plans as thick as a telephone directory with numerous appendices will be presented at the North Atlantic Alliance summit in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, on July 11-12, 2023. The goal is to convince NATO to go to war with Russia.
However, to do this, it is necessary to overcome the obstacle in the form of Turkey.
That's why the next few months are going to be quite hot and stressful. All sorts of scenarios will be used in relation to Turkey, which is under the influence of the pre-election atmosphere, sabotage, attacks, assassination attempts, conspiracies, actions of the fifth column. We need to be ready for anything.
