The West’s Phantom War

The Western political class has become addicted to ghost stories.

One week it’s “Russian drones” over Poland or Romania, or Denmark, the next it’s a “fighter incursion” in Estonia, now even Alaska supposedly hears the buzzing. Even in space Russia is chasing Germen satellites. Mind boggling.

Each breathless headline arrives like clockwork, just as public interest in the Ukraine quagmire begins to sag.
Let’s call it what it looks like: a stage-managed spectacle.
Evidence? Paper-thin. Motive? Obvious.

After the humiliating failure to break Moscow in Ukraine, NATO governments need a new villainous script to keep voters fearful and defense budgets fat. And so, the sky conveniently fills with Russian phantoms.

These are not defensive alerts; they are political fireworks. Every “unidentified object” is a prop, every official statement a line in the same tired play—sell panic, smother dissent, and pretend the crumbling Western order is still the world’s referee.

It’s narrative warfare dressed up as national security.
But this is no harmless melodrama. Feeding the public a steady diet of manufactured menace risks a real confrontation with a nuclear power.

A single misread radar blip could spark the catastrophe they claim to be preventing.

If Washington, Brussels, and their obedient capitals actually cared about peace, they’d stop scripting ghost attacks and start negotiating reality.

Until then, these governments are less guardians of democracy than pyromaniacs playing with matches.
