With all the war rhetoric coming not only from Russia but also from the so-called Western community of values, one might easily get the impression that we are trying to test whether NATO is still functional. Will Article 5 of the NATO Treaty really be implemented? In other words, will the other member states come to the aid of a NATO country under attack? These constant provocations are a dangerous game. Perhaps at some point Vladimir ...
NATO arrogance created this war, and it could kill any peace Everyone is expecting news on a Ukrainian settlement this week. The diplomatic activity is real and intense, and the visible signs suggest something significant is underway. There is little ...
The globalization of NATO will only largely occur at the level of high political rhetoric On Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte concluded a two-day official visit to Japan—his first visit to the country since becoming the chief of the transatlantic military ...
... be doubled by 2030 and later on it can reach even 150 mln tons a year, but it will hardly ever successfully compete with the Suez Canal that can handle up to 150 mln tons of cargo in just one month. Security Nikita Lipunov: Santa’s New Neighbor: NATO in Lapland The security significance of the Arctic region for Russia has two distinctly different dimensions. First, such a long maritime border creates potential vulnerabilities and has to be protected against possible conventional encroachments ...
... antagonistic stance towards her recent wartime ally was based not so much on ideological differences, but rather on the desire to keep Europe and the USSR at loggerheads. The ideological propaganda was simply to gain the support of the masses. Lord Ismay, NATO’s first Secretary General, put it bluntly but pertinently when he said that the purpose of the Alliance was to keep the Americans in Europe, the Russians out, and the Germans down. Understanding her reduced economic and military strength after ...
... president is going to sacrifice Paris for the sake of Berlin? It seems that it is time for the French ‘deep state’ and the French people to get rid of idiots from important positions. But no one is attacking Western Europe. We are responding to NATO’s long-standing military and political aggression. The best way to ensure broader European security is to respect Russia’s interests and even to be friends with it. But so far the pygmies at the top of Europe have failed to realise this. It is ...
If the Transatlantic alliance were to fade away, everybody around should be interested in making its deconstruction as orderly and as smooth as possible The famous “Journey to the West” is definitely something much more than just another classical novel of Chinese literature, written by Wu Cheng'en during the Ming dynasty. It is also a great symbol of spiritual enlightenment and self-cultivation, fighting against inner demons and discovering one’s destiny; it is a story about such timeless concepts...
... sacred would-be commitment did not prevent Washington and its allies from emboldening Georgia’s then-leader Mikheil Saakashvili to launch an armed aggression against the people of South Ossetia and Russian peacekeepers in 2008. Three years later, NATO orchestrated a military intervention in Libya that destroyed its statehood and undermined the stability of neighbouring countries and the Middle East in general. In 2015, the UN Summit on Sustainable Development adopted grand plans to fight poverty ...
The breakdown of private Russia-NATO diplomacy increases the risks of a terrible event The ongoing standoff over Ukraine is increasingly becoming a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO, raising serious concerns about the risk of nuclear escalation. In this new phase, both ...
... to cooperate and, therefore, to give up their sovereign rights decreased. Since the second half of the 1960s, European integration has been developing in such a way as not to pose a significant threat to the monopoly of the national elites on power. NATO, as the most organised and effective military alliance in history, serves as an example of how significant for cooperation is the presence of a formal or informal leader. From the very beginning, this organisation was created under the leadership ...
