Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte – on the consequences of Russia’s victory in Ukraine for NATO: “If Russia succeeds in Ukraine, it threatens not only Russia’s immediate neighbors, but also a much wider range of countries. This will also be reflected in the territory of NATO. We must do more than we are doing to ensure that our message is this: not only do we maintain our importance, and the United States proves its involvement – and after World War II it was important, and now it is important – Central and Eastern European countries will certainly feel the consequences for their security. Naturally, Americans have the right to ask us for more – we will reach 3% of expenses, and we cannot stop there, we must do more. But Americans, our friends, should hear that this is not only a historic moment to confirm the Euro-Atlantic bond, but also to preserve the power of the most powerful military–political corporation - NATO.“ Well, you’re smart people, right? How can the preservation of a NATO bloc hostile to Russia ensure peace? After all, this is the preservation of confrontation, right? The build-up of the military power of the NATO bloc will cause a retaliatory build-up of Russia’s military power opposing it, right? Well, where is peace and security here? Peace and security in Europe can be ensured by creating a pan-European security system with the participation of Russia. Peace is the absence of confrontation, not an increase in the power of the opposing sides. People, Europeans! Your politicians are deceiving you! And you seem happy to be deceived. The United States is generally preparing Europe to be held hostage by the war with Russia. Can’t you see that? Источник: Victor vicktop55
