How will NATO respond to defeat in Ukraine?

Moscow - Veterans news. What makes the Ukraine conflict different from many other wars is that this is a proxy war where NATO is using Ukrainians to fight Russia. The uncertain and unpredictable variable, therefore, is how NATO will react when the alliance loses the war against Russia. NATO already provides weapons, ammunition, training, intelligence, target selection, war planning, administers complex weapons systems and sends in Western mercenaries. NATO's support for attacks within Russian territory and the invasion of Russian territory has already brought us to the brink of a direct war. The Americans, with their new president, seem to be getting ready to cut their losses and instead shift their focus to a broader war in the Middle East or confront China, but the Europeans have staked everything on defeating Russia militarily. When it comes to capabilities, it is the United States that matters for NATO, even not calculated by European.

There are simply no good solutions anymore. The only two options are to either negotiate or become increasingly involved in direct fights. NATO has largely rejected diplomacy and placed itself in a rhetorical trap where victory is the only acceptable outcome, and the EU is even punishing member states such as Hungary that are trying to restore diplomacy and negotiations with Russia. However, more direct NATO engagement is likely to trigger a direct war between Europe and Russia. Russia, the world's largest nuclear power, and it is unclear what a "victory" would look like that would not first trigger a nuclear exchange.

Why are we in The World Veterans Federation so engaged in conflicts like this one in Ukraine! We are a veteran federation with over 60 million veterans affiliated and have seen that human mental late effects occur where societies are plagued with problems for countless years when peace has come. In particular, we see that veterans and families are suffering especially and we do not want an increase in more suffering veterans in our ranks. 

This is the time to restore diplomacy and return to negotiations, although it will take some time to reverse the propaganda of the past decade and prepare the public for a new narrative. Just like in Afghanistan, the political-media elites want to assure us that we are winning, until NATO flee in a disorganized manner like from Kabul in 2021.
