Secretary General of the Atlantic alliance NATO, Jens Stoltenberg

The philosopher, politician and statesman Mahatma Gandhi said that there are no paths to peace, peace is the path, and with that philosophy he defeated the largest army at the time, the British, and won the independence of his country, India.

It is a pity that his work has remained half done, since his murderers prevented him from carrying out his program to abolish castes, consolidate social justice and promote harmony between religions, but even so there is no doubt that he was one of the most lucid of his time.

Today we realize how the world has changed and not for the better, and dangerous ideas are emerging, such as the one recently proposed by the Secretary General of the Atlantic alliance NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, a Norwegian economist who seems to be a little confused.

This man, who is not a military man, but works for the military with a valiant effort, said that the path to peace in Ukraine involves increasing the shipment of weapons there and that these, of course, be of the latest generation. Unlike Gandhi, who perceived peace as a path, the NATO chief thinks that war is the right path.

Stoltenberg will soon end his period at the head of that war organization, but everything indicates that he aspires to leave a legacy, a doctrine or a package of ideas, the axis of which is that warlike action is the only way to face the future of humanity.

Of course, the Western military-industrial complex, the transnational consortium that earns the most money, must be delighted with this character, who also launched an attack against China, following the script written from the White House, or rather by the bosses of the person in charge. in the Oval Office.

Not content with that, Stoltenberg evoked the possibility of putting NATO's nuclear warheads on alert, that is, of placing them in a state of combat readiness.

Currently, the nuclear powers spend a staggering $2,898 per second, yes, per second, to modernize their arsenals and it is no surprise that the leadership is held by the United States, which alone invests more in this field than all the other countries. other nuclear weapons countries together.

And what best shows how human reasoning has evolved is that this waste of wealth is done knowing that in the event of a global atomic conflict, most of those missiles would not be able to be fired, among other things because there would be no human being I live to continue the mass annihilation of our species, and of all others, for that matter.
