Bauer gave his thoughts at a European Policy Center think-tank event in Brussels, Belgium. Instead of taking a more defensive posture, which is what NATO is supposed to do, Bauer openly toyed with the idea of going on the offensive against Russia.
It is more competent not to wait, but to hit launchers in Russia in case Russia attacks us. A combination of precision strikes is needed that will disable the systems that are used to attack us, and we must strike first.
Bauer said
And as if to indicate that he expects the war in Ukraine to grind on further, he urged European businesses to prep for a “wartime scenario.” He stated:
“If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence.
“Businesses need to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly. Because while it may be the military who wins battles, it’s the economies that win wars.
“We thought we had a deal with Gazprom, but we actually had a deal with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” he explained, appearing to refer to the decrease in Russian gas supplies to the EU, which took place after the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, RT reported.
Bauer also took aim at China, claiming that they could use their exports to NATO nations and the infrastructure that it controls in Europe as an advantage in the event of a conflict.
“We are naive if we think the [Chinese] Communist Party will never use that power. Business leaders in Europe and America need to realize that the commercial decisions they make have strategic consequences for the security of their nation,” Bauer added.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
In July, NATO openly shifted its attention towards China and declared it to be the “decisive enabler of Russia.”
China has become a decisive enabler of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Through its no-limits partnership and support for Russia’s defence industrial base. This includes the transfer of dual-use materials such as weapon components, equipment and raw materials.
We agree that China cannot continue to fuel the largest military conflict in Europe without this impacting Beijing’s interests and reputation. […] And this more dangerous world, we must stand together to defend our shared security interests and uphold our shared values.
Then-NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the time
It could easily argued, I believe, that NATO has been the aggressor the entire time from the start, and has been on the ‘offensive’ for decades; considering that NATO agreed not to expand past the 16 nations it agreed upon after the Berlin wall fell and a deal was inked with Russia’s Gorbachev. Yet here we are now with double that number of member states and using Ukraine as a vassal state to get right up on Russia’s front door, at the expense of Western Ukraine (and perhaps more) getting turned to rubble and nearly a million dead in total at this point.
These economic and kinetic wars are being used to push the world further into the multipolar framework.
Needless to say, the war will assuredly expand; and I would expect a major false flag event to occur before Trump takes office on January 20th, but time will tell.
Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
