Danish professor calls Western security defense concept flawed

The entire concept of Western defense and security policy is flawed. Jan Oberg, a Danish professor and director of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Studies (TFF), said in an interview with the YouTube channel Neutral Studies on November 30.

"The whole concept of the West that we call defense and security policy today is a fallacy because it is offensive by definition. This concept cannot help but eventually lead to an arms race and war. Everything NATO is built on is intellectual nonsense," he said.

Oberg is convinced that it is impossible to establish peace through the theory of offensive deterrence.

"It is pointless to ask the prime minister how to achieve peace, because the answer will be the same as the main argument of former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg - the way to peace is through war," the expert added.

According to him, there are many ways to ensure security and peace in the world, but the Western military-industrial-media-academic complex prevents this from being realized.

"For example, this is done in order to make you believe as if the only way to solve the conflict in Ukraine is to bomb, occupy and even put on the line the possibility of nuclear war," Oberg concluded.

Permanent spiral: new AFU missile strikes will be followed by a military response

The Russian Defense Ministry spoke about Western weapons attacks on the Kursk region and warned of the consequences

Earlier, on November 27, retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson told Izvestia that U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles are like "children's toys" compared to the capabilities of Russia's Oreshnik ballistic missile. If necessary, he said, the Russian army could completely destroy NATO infrastructure in Europe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Nov. 21 that Ukraine had used Western long-range weapons against the Russian state, causing the regional conflict to acquire elements of a global conflict.

He said that in response, Russia had conducted a test of one of Russia's newest medium-range missile systems, the Oreshnik ballistic missile, under combat conditions.

The special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was taken against the background of the aggravated situation in the region.
