“US Takes Provocative Step in Ukraine, Raising Tensions”
According to Al Jazeera, the expansion of NATO to Russia’s borders is the main reason for the war in Ukraine. However, even this bloody war has not made the West learn from its past strategic mistakes.
Based on this, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan announced that NATO will appoint a senior representative in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, to deepen relations with this war-torn country.
At the same time as NATO leaders gathered in Washington DC, he emphasized: This special representative in Kyiv will seek to deepen Ukraine’s relations with NATO. The office will serve as a focal point for NATO engagement with senior Ukrainian officials.
These words come after Russia has repeatedly warned about the expansion of relations between NATO and Ukraine.
John Mearsheimer, the world’s greatest strategist, believes that the expansion of NATO to Russia’s borders originated from liberal illusions and is the main cause of this war. In the unipolar world after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States was looking for liberal hegemony in the world, and finally, these illusions were shattered by the war in Ukraine and the emergence of China as a revisionist actor in the system.
