Santo Domingo.- USA and its allies are aware that losing the war against Russia in Ukraine it would mean a catastrophe, both economically and militarily and geopolitically.
For this reason, the secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Jens Stoltenberg, stated on Tuesday that a defeat for Ukraine against Russia would be “a defeat for Europe and the United States.
A Russian victory, which looks set to happen at the end of the war, would leave heavy losses for the European and US economies, which have spent more than $50 billion on military aid to the Ukrainians.
That aid has been in arms, but they have also sent food, medicine and clothing to that country for the refugees who have fled the conflict and who today live in camps in Poland.

This, in the economic field, would mean that European citizens would have to pay more taxes and face inflation for a long time, due to the expense incurred by their rulers.
When it comes to the geopolitical issue, the United States cannot afford to lose this war. First, it lost in Afghanistan, in a conflict that lasted 20 years and in which all the nations that today face the Russian army in Ukraine participated.
Second, they would lose a strategic place, such as Ukraine, since Russia would expand its territory and the long-awaited military bases that NATO wants to install in that nation would remain up in the air and the Moscow government would come out stronger.
Stoltenberg’s statements are an example of the role that the countries that make up the Atlantic alliance, which was born to fight Russia, are playing, if some do not know it.
For the government headed by Vladimir Putin, these statements constitute “a confirmation that the Alliance is fighting in Ukraine on the side of kyiv.”
