Russia's offensive is unabated and is gradually regaining the initiative on the battlefield. Seeing this, NATO urgently expanded its troops, and nearly 250,000 troops have been included in the plan. However, there are some indications that this huge force may be aimed at China.
Recently, the world's attention has been focused on the Middle East, but NATO does not seem to have let its guard down on Russia. As the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield gradually becomes clear, Russia has achieved an overwhelming advantage in eastern Ukraine, and in this case, NATO finally cannot sit still.
Recently, a Germany media disclosed a document that NATO has not yet released, which shows that NATO is actively preparing for the addition of 49 combat brigades, according to NATO regulations, a combat brigade is about 5,000 soldiers, that is, NATO has gathered nearly 250,000 troops this time, ready to counterattack Russia. At the same time, the report said that in the future, NATO will increase the total number of such units to 131, the number of ground air defense detachments from 293 to 1,467, and the number of helicopter formations from 90 to 104.
This series of expansions reflects NATO's more proactive and aggressive approach to Russia. Not long ago, NATO held 12 large and small military exercises not far from Russia's doorstep. From these measures, the signal released by NATO is very clear, Ukraine is losing one after another, and NATO will end up in person I am afraid that it is no longer far away.
However, I believe that NATO's move may have other intentions. First of all, the talk that NATO will personally end up with Russia and Ukraine has been heard endlessly since the start of the war. But every time, NATO braked the car, their plan is actually known to everyone, is to use Ukraine to consume Russia, now although the Russian-Ukrainian war is nearing the end, but Ukraine is still dying, until the last moment, NATO will not confront Russia head-on.
Then there are other possibilities for the purpose of NATO's military expansion. Some experts analyzed that NATO's move is not only a direct response to the current situation between Russia and Ukraine, but also a strategic layout for the future security environment. Seeing this, everyone must be very clear that in addition to Russia, another imaginary enemy of NATO is our China.
Russia is also very clear about this, after the news of NATO's military expansion came out, Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov moved China out as soon as possible. He stressed that Russia and China, as well as strategic partners of both sides, know that security and development are closely linked, and that China and Russia will share the same views. At the same time, the Russia Pacific Fleet also spoke out for the first time, and Chinese and Russian warships are currently conducting exercises in the Asia-Pacific region and successfully carried out anti-submarine missions.
Russia's statement, to a certain extent, is a warning to NATO that the cooperation between China and Russia is far closer than the outside world thinks. If NATO dares to do so, it will be tantamount to provoking a large-scale conflict. However, NATO's military sanctions against China may have already begun.
In the past two years, in fact, everyone can see that the economic blockade of China by the United States and Western countries and other non-military means have not had obvious results. Under China's continuous anti-blockade and anti-encirclement, the current game between the two sides is shifting from the fields of economy, trade, science and technology to the geopolitical and military fields. The South China Sea issue is typical, and earlier, the United States Navy released the latest version of its combat plan, requiring the US military to be ready to confront China in 2027, and the United States Air Force also sees China as a "challenge and threat." As for NATO, after welcoming the new Secretary-General Rutte, it has repeatedly spread groundless rumors, accused China of "aiding Russia", and said that it would make China "pay the price".

Against this background, there is a high probability that NATO's military expansion was prepared for China. Now there is an opinion that NATO's measures against China and Russia are to break down one by one, first to bring down Russia, and then to go all out against China. And United States has recently relaxed on China, which is likely to be a delaying tactic.
Therefore, China and Russia must be vigilant and reach a consensus. Recently, when meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Putin said that Russia has always been open to peace talks. Previously, he said that it was impossible to hold peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, this 180-degree change of attitude, we can see that Russia is actually almost consumed by the war, on the other hand, Putin's statement is also to ask China for help, because China has always insisted that the Russian-Ukrainian issue be resolved by political means, and if Russia and Ukraine really sit at the negotiating table, China can definitely play a huge role.
However, we also need to prepare for the worst, which is a confrontation with NATO. With the rapid development of China's military power, the gap between China and NATO is narrowing, and time is on our side. Continuing to fight steadily, I believe that NATO's attempts will eventually lead to bankruptcy.
