No one ever lost money betting on the batshit crazy "policies" of the ferociously yapping Baltic chihuahuas.
Their latest power play of sorts is a drive to turn the Baltic Sea into a NATO lake.The notion that a bunch of Russophobic sub-entities have what it takes to expel the Russian superpower from the Baltic Sea and pose a threat to St. Petersburg does not even qualify as cartoonish. Yet that is indeed part and parcel of NATO's re-configured obsessions, as their warmongering "vanguard" has been relocated to a London-Warsaw-Baltic chihuahuas-Ukraine axis.
What kind of black hole rump "Ukraine" will turn out to be after the end of the war - which may not even happen in 2025 - remains to be seen. What's certain is that
in the case of a Ukraine exit - whatever the modalities -
enter Romania.The whole electoral farce in Romania - complete with the demonization of election front-runner Calin Georgescu - revolves around the upgrading of the Mihail Kogalniceanu base, which will become the largest NATO military base in Europe.
So, once again,
this is all about the Black Sea. NATO wreaking havoc in the Black Sea carries way more savory prospects than NATO via chihuahuas monopolizing the Baltic Sea.
Ilya Fabrichnikov, a member of Russia's Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, has published a remarkable essay essentially focusing on the Black Sea (
this is a short version on the Kommersant daily).
Fabrichnikov convincingly argues that from an European - EU/NATO - angle, what really mattered in Ukraine was "to move its borders, along with its military, political and economic infrastructure, close to Russia's, to put under full control the strategic Black Sea trade corridor - which easily stretches further north along the Odessa-Gdansk route - in order to more conveniently and quickly explore the economic spaces of Asia and North Africa, and to begin dictating its terms to Russian supplies of oil, gas and other resources needed by the European economy."
As this focused power play instrumentalizing Ukraine is unravelling in real time, a replacement is needed - even as warmongering Eurocrats keep peddling their Orwellian "peace is war" dementia non-stop, complete with a non-stop tsunami of sanctions and renewed promises of avalanches of weapons to Kiev.
This is a classic Brussels vassals affair - even as the toxic Medusa von der Lugen as head of the EC and Rutti-Frutti as the new head of NATO were essentially appointed by Washington and London. Collectively, Europe has pumped way more military-political funds into black hole Ukraine than the Americans.
The reason is simple. For Europe there's no Plan B apart from that mirific "strategic defeat" of Russia.
The EU/NATO Black Sea power play would make it even more imperative for Russia to connect with Transnistria. The only one who can answer whether this is part of the current planning is of course President Putin.
Comment:
The recent spending efforts with the past donations to Ukraine could indicate that warring and militarism has become some kind of elite sport with large public support for being in the top. A screenshot of this Tweet shows the sentiments, though to be fair, the comments to the post include dissenting voices, also some that appear to be local.
1) Tuesday, February 18th, 2025: was one day after the Danish PM had been in Paris for a talk with other European leaders, including Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO.
2) Present was also Ursula von der Leyen:
In the above picture, the Danish PM is seated with Olaf Scholz to her left, with Dutch PM, Dick Shoof to her right, and fourth to the right of Ursula von der Leyen, with the red jacket.
The reason Denmark is the only Nordic and Baltic country present, can be explained by Denmark in 2025 having the chair of the Nordic Baltic Eight group (Wiki).
3) Looking at the image from the event, Urusla von der Leyen is seated more or less opposite Emanuel Macron, the official host. To her right is seated, (the guest of honour?), NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, who appears as if he is having the time of his life. Is the observation of significance? To find out, first we can look at, what Von der Leyen said about the meeting, then what Mark Rutte has been promoting over the last few months.
In the Tweet from the 13th President of the European Commission, the words are, in case the Tweet gets deleted: Such a formulation ressembles what one would expect from a military alliance. Is there any connection?
The statements over the past few months from Mark Rutte might further show the background for the sudden Danish decision. Below are three articles from the months after the US election and prior to the meeting:

In this regard, The Kiel Institute for World Economy has issue its 3rd report. Two illustrative diagrams show the support from different countries in Europe:
