11. NATO MEMBERSHIP WAS DEEPLY UNPOPULAR AMONG UKRAINIANS
On April 5, 2024, Professor Glenn Diesen shared on X: The polling below reveals NATO membership was deeply unpopular among Ukrainians even AFTER Russia took back Crimea: – Between 1991 and 2014 (before the coup), all polls revealed only 20% of Ukrainians wanted to join NATO, despite fierce efforts by the US.

Comment on this map by professor Glenn Diesen, published April 26, 2024:
In my previous post, there are several requests for evidence that only a small minority of Ukrainians wanted NATO membership between 1991 and 2014 (when the US/NATO sought to pull Ukraine into the military bloc):
- Every since poll from Ukraine and abroad confirmed this.
- NATO reported in 2011 that its expansionism was resisted by the Ukrainian government and its people: “The greatest challenge for Ukrainian-NATO relations lies in the perception of NATO among the Ukrainian people. NATO membership is not widely supported in the country, with some polls suggesting that popular support of it is less than 20%”. https://nato-pa.int/document/2011-172-cdsdg-11-e-rev1-ukraine-malan-report…
- Even after Russia seized Crimea (in response to the US-backed coup), the US own polls demonstrated that still only a minority of Ukrainians wanted NATO membership. https://usagm.gov/wp-content/media/2014/06/Ukraine-slide-deck.pdf…
- US Ambassador (now CIA Director) William Burn cautioned that NATO expansionism would trigger a Civil War exactly because it did not have support in the public (and that Russia would reluctantly invade). https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08MOSCOW265_a.html…
- There is nothing controversial about the statement that NATO expansionism was pushed against the will of the Ukrainians, with our full awareness of the likely devastating consequences.
- The only reason this is not common knowledge is because the media does not report on it, as there is full conformity to the war narrative that we are merely “helping” Ukraine. Even mentioning verifiable facts results in attacks and cancellation efforts from the compliant media as inconvenient facts are met with accusations of “legitimising” the Russian invasion
- On the eve of the American invasion of Iraq, a majority of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9-11 attacks. This would not have been possible without a dishonest and manipulative media. In our current Ukraine War, the war enthusiasts in media play an equally manipulative role in ensuring public support for the notion that “weapons are the path to peace” and diplomacy is not possible. American leaders and the NATO Secretary General keep openly making statements that this war is a great opportunity to weaken a strategic adversary without losing their own soldiers, and the media assists in laundering this as a virtuous “pro-Ukrainian” stance.

14. GLENN DIESEN: DO THE EU AND NATO THREATEN RUSSIAN SECURITY? (BOOK)

Description
Do the EU and NATO threaten Russian security? The book explores the rise of these exclusive ’inter-democratic’ security institutions after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the ensuing effects on relations with Russia. Two competing theories are tested to explore whether these institutions aggravate or mitigate the security dilemma with Russia. These institutions can be theorised to promote security as a positive-sum game through European integration and democracy promotion, or pursue collective hegemony with ideologically uncompromising bloc-politics. Glenn Diesen argues that a European security architecture that demotes the largest state on the continent to an object of security inevitably results in ’European integration’ becoming a zero-sum geopolitical project that has set the West on a collision course with Russia.

Critics reviews
’In this innovative, theoretically grounded and systematic study, Glenn Diesen shows how the attempts by the EU and NATO to construct a security community in Europe have exacerbated the security dilemma with Russia. The arguments in this fine book are crucial to our understanding of the international relations of the European continent since the collapse of the Soviet Union.’ Graeme Gill, The University of Sydney, Australia ’In the light of the Ukraine crisis and the Russian annexation of Crimea, this is a timely and important book. Glenn Diesen provides a well-argued and theoretically rich critique of Western policy towards Russia since the breakup of the Soviet Union. His analysis challenges many of the mainstream liberal assumptions that have shaped relations between Europe and Russia, and offers a fresh interpretation of the steady deterioration in relations between the two sides. This is a book that deserves to be widely read and discussed.’ Adrian Hyde-Price, Gothenburg University, Sweden

19. PEPE ESCOBAR: EURASIA VS. NATOSTAN IS THE DEFINING STRUGGLE OF OUR TIME
In this interview Kevork Almassian, award-winning independent journalist and political scientist, born in Syria and living in Berlin, Germany, discusses with Pepe Escobar the book: Eurasia versus NATOstan, published on April 2, 2024. Pepe Escobar (born 1954) is a Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst.
20. GLENN DIESEN: THE UKRAINE WAR AND THE EURASIAN WORLD ORDER (BOOK)
Five hundred years of Western hegemony has ended, while the global majority’s aspiration for a world order based on multipolarity and sovereign equality is rising. This incisive book addresses the demise of liberal hegemony, though pointing out that a multipolar Westphalian world order has not yet taken shape, leaving the world in a period of interregnum. A legal vacuum has emerged, in which the conflicting sides are competing to define the future order.
NATO expansionism was an important component of liberal hegemony as it was intended to cement the collective hegemony of the West as the foundation for a liberal democratic peace. Instead, it dismantled the pan-European security architecture and set Europe on the path to war without the possibility of a course correction. Ukraine as a divided country in a divided Europe has been a crucial pawn in the great power competition between NATO and Russia for the past three decades.
The war in Ukraine is a symptom of the collapsing world order. The war revealed the dysfunction of liberal hegemony in terms of both power and legitimacy, and it sparked a proxy war between the West and Russia instead of ensuring peace, the source of its legitimacy.
The proxy war, unprecedented sanctions, and efforts to isolate Russia in the wider world contributed to the demise of liberal hegemony as opposed to its revival. Much of the world responded to the war by intensifying their transition to a Eurasian world order that rejects hegemony and liberal universalism. The economic architecture is being reorganised as the world diversifies away from excessive reliance on Western technologies, industries, transportation corridors, banks, payment systems, insurance systems, and currencies. Universalism based on Western values is replaced by civilisational distinctiveness, sovereign inequality is swapped with sovereign equality, socialising inferiors is replaced by negotiations, and the rules-based international order is discarded in favour of international law. A Westphalian world order is reasserting itself, although with Eurasian characteristics.
The West’s defeat of Russia would restore the unipolar world order while a Russian victory would cement a multipolar one. The international system is now at its most dangerous as the prospect of compromise is absent, meaning the winner will take all. Both NATO under US direction and Russia are therefore prepared to take great risks and escalate, making nuclear wan increasingly likely.

22. THE INSTITUTE FOR THE STUDY OF WAR / KAROLINA HIRD / ROB BAUER (NATO CHAIR)
Search results for Karolina Hird, on the website of the ISW: 964 results.
From the website: Karolina Hird is a Russia Deputy Team Lead and Analyst and Evans Hanson Fellow at the Institute for the Study of War. Karolina is a senior member of the team that produces the daily Russian Campaign Assessments since spring 2022. Karolina particularly focuses on Russian operational campaign design and the humanitarian aspects of the war in Ukraine, particularly the issue of forced deportations and adoption of Ukrainian children. Karolina has been quoted in Reuters, The Telegraph, NPR, The Daily Beast, Task and Purpose, Newsweek, Voice of America, and others. Karolina regularly briefs senior military and political decision-makers. Karolina received a BA in International Affairs from The George Washington University, where she focused on international security, international law, and gender analysis.
[Note by admin: the content of the quoted text copied from her profile page on ISW, is not according to the information that is provided by independent journalists. This means that the quoted text has to be read as misinformation. Important detail: Karolina Hird is extremely anti-Putin, anti-Russia.]
In this article, published by ISW, also chair of NATO Rob Bauer‘s words, are to be found. He is clearly informed by Karolina Hird, which means that he is misinformed about the real situation in Ukraine. In his opening speech on May 16, 2024, in a NATO meeting with the Chiefs of Defence, in Brussels, he mentions Kiev as the source of his information, which means that he fully trusts Zelensky, who is proven not reliable. Altogether this could be the reason why Rob Bauer showed that he was severe misinformed and was sharing misinformation with the Chiefs of Defence. That could be the reason of the NATO arrogance, it’s bluffing about Russia, and making NATO alliances believe that they have a chance against Russia. His misinformation is provoking WWIII.
