The guy who is stepping down due to backlash over his ridiculous statements of late? Quite the opposite is the reality here. The only thing NATO is concerned about at this point is the Nukes. Every other concern is like a Parent being concerned their toddler might throw a tantrum. Changes nothing. The child gets punished for its bad behaviour regardless.

Politicians are the talking heads here. Our military leadership, in at least the oldest of the NATO states, know exactly what they're doing. The military, in the US at least, doesn't talk to the public except through the president, or very few, select press hearings with very high-level brass, and what they say is almost always directed at the international opposition (China and Russia) and as such never reflects the true strategy. I fully believe that NATO is maneuvering to destabilize Russia, and that their goal is regime change.

NATO is acting after loads of Russian aggression. Above sounds too much like the Russian talking point that Russia somehow is a victim and was somehow forced to annex the various regions over the last 20 years or so.
