Brian Berletic, former U.S. marine and geopolitical analyst, takes a candid view of the ongoing proxy war between NATO and Russia over Ukraine. He remarks that in Washington, some politicians think this conflict is the best investment the U.S. could ever make, as it can "fight Russia without having to shed any American blood." However, this strategy comes at a cost for Ukraine. Moreover, Europe's military preparedness suffers, leaving a void in artillery that the U.S. attempts to fill by sending controversial cluster munitions. This proxy war also poses a threat to NATO’s credibility and risks dragging new members, Finland and Sweden, into potential future conflicts.
