Why It Matters
Since the coup in Kyiv in 2014, Russia has repeatedly stated that Ukraine's NATO membership poses an immediate threat to its national security and is a red line.
Political analyst Alan Watson criticized the decision of NATO officials to appear in Ukraine. He expressed his opinion on the social network X.
“After the coup in Kyiv in 2014, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, the Kremlin and the Russian Security Council have repeatedly stated directly that Ukraine’s membership in NATO poses an immediate threat to Russia’s national security and is the reddest of all red lines,” the expert recalled.
According to him, these steps only bring the Ukrainian crisis “closer to Armageddon.”
Watson added that World War I was precipitated by alliance systems and mobilization processes that made the Balkan crisis a “catastrophe of continental proportions.” “Wars grow because of mistakes, miscalculations and reactions to events that, as politicians later claim, no one planned,” he concluded.
