Was für ein überaus glücklicher Zufall, dass die russische Armee gerade Übungen rund um die Ukraine abgehalten hat, um auf diese ukrainischen und westlichen Provokationen zu reagieren. Nur durch diesen Zufall konnte die russische Armee "zurückschießen."
So geht die Geschichte weiter, oder?
Sogar der Ex-NATO Generalsekretär Lord Robertson äußerte in einer Anhörung vor dem britischen Verteidigungsausschuss am 15. März 2022 so:
Lord Robertson: It is difficult to know precisely what could have been done, and in many ways we did do quite a lot. I am not entirely certain that Putin had a long-term plan for the invasion. A lot of what has happened since then has suggested that it has been ill-thought-through, badly planned. This is a radical thought for me to give you, but I wonder: did we goad him into doing it? Was he assembling the troops around Ukraine in order to harvest some security guarantees but, at the end of the day, felt that his credibility would be diminished if he did not invade? That is a heretical notion, and history will prove me right or wrong, but a very senior Russian was in London before the invasion saying, “There is no way he is going to invade, but every day he doesn’t invade he loses a bit of credibility.”
So, what NATO could and should have done, and did do, was to be ready and conscious of the fact that Ukraine is not a NATO member but is a partner country, and to do as much as we possibly could to prepare it for the possibility that Russia was going to invade, as it seemed to be threatening with the troop formations that were put in place.
