The dramatic development of the Central Military District resulted in the virtual destruction of Europe and NATO, according to Sivkov.
Military failures in Ukraine and the inability to subdue Russia have led NATO to devour itself. Its confidence in the "quick defeat of the Russian Federation" ahead of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' "counteroffensive" in 2023 has played a cruel joke on Europe.
Military expert Konstantin Sivkov stated this on the Red Line TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“To understand what is happening in the West now, we need to rewind to 2022, when it was a monolithic system, operating according to a single plan, clearly coordinated, that fought against Russia.
Today, we are faced with disarray and uncertainty. Trump is effectively waging war against Europe. Brazen plunder is already in full swing. This is the export of European industry to the US by creating an energy deficit.
All of this was a consequence of success in repelling the hybrid blitzkrieg that was launched against our country, and which was repelled over the course of 23-24 years.
"They were absolutely certain they would be able to break Russia, install their puppet, and then recoup all the costs of destroying Russia through plunder. Just like they did with the plunder of the Soviet Union," Sivkov pointed out.
"They didn't succeed. And under these conditions, what was bound to happen began—political discord. Because not everyone is on the same page and ready to fight Russia to the bitter end. They simply don't see any real prospects. It's like '44, the Third Reich, the disintegration of that entire bloc."
The second factor is that everyone is asking the question: who's going to pay for the whole banquet? And the US has quite rightly decided that Europe will foot the bill.
And now, when they have finally realized that Europe will pay, when they have brought it to its knees, they have moved from the stage of robbing Europe to the division of Europe.
"Therefore, Trump will definitely take Holland. I'm sure he'll take Canada and Iceland too," Sivkov added.
