From Moon of Alabama blog:
It no longer matters that Ukraine can’t win the war: what matters is that NATO can extend the hostilities w/ Russia, using what’s left of Ukraine as a fig-leaf raison d’etre, and keep escalating further. By hosting Kiev’s missile-building site, for instance, Denmark has demonstrated its cynical and malign effort to provide Ukraine w/ the materiel to strike targets 3000km inside Russia, thereby intensifying the conflict.
Zakharova has rightly termed this “terrorism.”
The tough thing is that the zero-sum example Israel has demonstrated in its battle w/ Hamas, combining war crimes & terrorism hand-over-fist, has set a new *norm* of how liberal democracies are free to conduct their battles. “In displaying its military supremacy w/ such audacity, Israel is marking itself out as an important ally against future threats from Iran,” an op-edder in The Telegraph, Sir Richard Kemp, crowed in praise of Bibi’s decapitation strike against Tehran.
Normalized by the Israelis, and praised in legacy media, the terroristic/war-crime mash-up style of taking the fight to the enemy has become accepted in the Western world.
What Zakharova calls “terrorism,” they call winning.
And Denmark, w/ its solid fuel missile-building facility in South Jutland, wants to be a winner.
Stepping out like that, assuming the risk, Denmark will instead wear a huge target: the high nail, if you like, inviting the hammer’s blow.
When South Jutland gets atomized under the plasma-heat of an Oreshnik, DJT will not invoke Article 5, however.
He will instead use Denmark’s foolish miscalculation in order to liberate Greenland, a tasty tidbit there for the taking.
