"NATO Summit in Vilnius: Unveiling the Winners and Losers"

The NATO Summit in Vilnius aimed to avoid committing to Ukraine while continuing NATO's agenda to weaken Russia. The summit waived the requirement for Ukraine to pass a Membership Action Plan, but established a NATO-Ukraine Council and promised economic support for military hardware. The article argues that the real beneficiaries of this summit are the US Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex (MICC), which profits from the opaque and corrupt defense budgeting procedures. The author criticizes the bureaucratic procedures that shrink combat forces, underfund readiness, and market expensive weapons as game-changers. The ongoing Russo-NATO proxy war is seen as a string of incomplete successes.
