NATO To Officially Reject Ukraine Intervention

After some recent threats from ‘western’ countries to intervene with their own troops in the war in Ukraine Russia responded by revealing a deadly threat:
Russia also announced a spontaneous drill of the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons:
Russia has threatened to strike British military facilities and said it will hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons in response to UK weapons being used by Ukraine to strike its territory.
…
It is the first time Russia has publicly announced drills involving tactical nuclear weapons, although its strategic nuclear forces regularly hold exercises.
The exercises will be held by the southern group of Russian forces which is also involved in the special military operation in Ukraine.This should for now shut up the loud voices who dream of defeating Russia in Ukraine.
It now seems that the treat achieved its purpose.
The Italian broadsheet Corriere Della Serra reports (in Italian, edited machine translation):
“No boots on the ground”. This, according to the Courier, is one of the key phrases contained in the original draft of the document and will be approved by Nato summit, held in Washington from 9 to 11 July. The reference is to the Ukraine: the North Atlantic alliance will not send soldiers into battle (“no boots on the ground”). The strategy, dictated by the United States, does not change. At the same time, however, western leaders prepare for a change of pace.
An official NATO decision, not to send any soldiers to Ukraine, is an assurance to Russia. It is also an attempt to block certain presidents, in this case the French Emmanuel Macron, from contradicting that strategy. That is at least how the Ukrainian outlet Strana as well as long time Russia correspondent Gilbert Doctorow interpret it. Strana (machine translation):
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, NATO plans to adopt a declaration at the July summit, which will fix the refusal to send forces to Ukraine. “No boots on the ground” – according to the newspaper, this item should read.Note that the Alliance has repeatedly said that it will not fight in Ukraine. If this is officially fixed, this approach will greatly problematize the efforts of countries such as France, which do not rule out the introduction of troops.
It is noteworthy that information about the preparation of an official NATO declaration on the non-participation of its troops in the war in Ukraine appeared literally immediately after the actual ultimatum of the Russian Federation with hints of the use of nuclear weapons in the event of the entry of NATO troops.
In theory, such a declaration would not prevent NATO countries from deploying troops unilaterally. However, in this case, it will be a very big question – whether the entire Alliance will come to the aid of this country if the Russian Federation begins to strike at its territory.
In an interview with Sputnik International Gilbert Doctorow supports that interpretation:
The rationale behind NATO’s new “no boots on the ground” in Ukraine strategy is to silence belligerent “loudmouths” in the West, international relations analyst Gilbert Doctorow told Sputnik.
The alliance’s decision was designed to “shut up Monsieur Macron, to shut up the prime minister of Lithuania and other loudmouths who have been calling for the dispatch of NATO troops to Ukraine to save the Kiev regime from imminent military defeat,” Doctorow said.
“No boots on the ground” in Ukraine is a key phrase contained in a draft document set to be approved by the NATO summit in Washington in July, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
I cautiously agree with that interpretation. But I have yet to find any mention of this decision in other ‘western’ media. This is thereby still too unofficial to be taken as a defined fact.
Additionally, Corriere Della Serra writes, NATO will take over the collection and delivery of weapons for Ukraine. This was so far the task of the U.S. through the regular meetings of a contact group of U.S. proxies and allies in Ramstein.
The Biden administration is thus tossing its failed Ukraine project, which was supposed to ‘weaken Russia‘ but has achieved the opposite, into the hands of the Europeans. (This is something I had somewhat predicted during the first month of the war.)

…..A comment under this article
NATO thinks it has been very clever.
Over the last few months pretty much all the major NATO member states have signed individual security agreements with Ukraine. Presumably the plan is now for Ukraine to request military intervention assistance from each individual state (Macron has touched on this recently), and the Brits to say, Ukraine has asked for our help, we cannot ignore their request, we are going in. And the French to say, Ukraine has asked for our help, we must help them, on y va. It could be an Anglo-French expeditionary force fighting at the invitation of Kiev for example.
That way NATO can effectively get troops into Ukraine to shore up the crumbling Ukrainian military, without them actually being NATO troops.
Then, when Russia carries out its threat to attack British or French interests in retaliation for them getting openly involved on the ground, NATO can turn round and say Russia is attacking a NATO member state, Article 5. Gloves off, game on.
The US has spent a vast amount of money shipping equipment to eastern Europe, not to just have it sat doing nothing. Monkeywerx has documented this over months and months. Vast amounts of US armour has also been shipped into Greece over months and months. God knows what is in the ground that has the US, UK & EU so desperate to support Ukraine, but they are not going to just walk away when Russia gets the upper hand. Both Moscow and Beijing knows this.

If other European countries send troops to the Ukraine that will esculate the situation.
I don’t think Vladmir Putin is crazy, it’s the zionist Ukrainian government and the zio puppet E.U leaders that would use nucleor weapons.
I think that Putin is a usefull idiot that fell for the trap zio Nato created. Vladmir Putin is not stupid like all western politicians, he knows the history of Russia and was a Colonel in the jewish run KGB.
He knows Russias history very well, from the amount of reserch i’ve done i think there is about a 70 percent chance that his mother was Jewish and his father Russian.
I hope that Dmitry Medvedev becomes Russias president eventually, but Jews control politics in all white countries.
So unless something radical changes then it will just be another puppet leader like Boris Yeltsin who was picked because he was an alcoholic, a drunken fool who was easy to manipulate.
I wish their was a white country with no jewish influence sadly there isn’t any white countries where Jews don’t have enormous power and influence in politics, media, institutions and companies.
If this turns int a bigger conflict and China gets involved then i think the Chinese would definitley use nucleor weapons if they felt threatened enough. If Donald Trump becomes president the first thing he’ll do is give a speech about fighting anti semitism and he’ll gove Israel hundreds of billions and more weapons.
Then he’ll the U.S millitary bomb the hell out of Iran and destroy the country, the U.S would be better off collapsing and having a civil war then that zionist loving nutcase Trump as president again.
