Russia–NATO relations depend on EuropeRussia–US relations have dramatically improved recently, but it’s up to the EU to make the same happen in Russia-NATO relations, believes Adrian Pabst from the Luxembourg Institute for European and International Studies. |
The analysis is quite realistic, and does not beat around the bush. And it has been correctly noted that NATO is US-controlled organization. What we cannot yet understand is the following: how much is this change merely a tactical move to pry open a give-and-take with Russia, and how much is it the dawning of the reality on US, that it cannot continue having too many of its fingers trying to hold up a breaking dike? US/Europe relations have been on the down trajectory for awhile. Strategically, however, they had largely stuck together, as the prospect of showing openly the fissures was not in anyone's interest. The fissures are many. Kosovo, in spite of an all out pressure by US, has not been recognized by five EU nations. Failure to secure supplies of gas from Caspian states results in NABUCCO annoucing a two year delay. Iraq occupation woes are in the news, irritating US public, as this was supposed to be over. Afghanistan is an utter mess, thanks to the Clintonite hothead, Holbrooke. And a few millions of refugees in Pakistan does not bode well. Germany had to put the foot down on Opel, and Nord Stream. Japan had to wake up and find itself isolated from the prosperity in the region, and is making a U-turn. Time for US to pull back, rethink and retrench. Economy willing!
I agree with his statement..Nato is toll in the hands of Anglo-Saxon policy(Usa,England)with only one purpose:to save Usa,England,Australia,Canada,New Zeland-all the rest are followers!Those stolen lands protection is main(hiden) goal behind Nato real policy in Europe!.Those states act as independent but in reality got one united(coaliton of the willing) policy on world stage.Nato is great manipulation to stop the rest of the world form blocks who will point in right direction-against them!Thats why England act as trojan horse in Europe-Usa to!They doing anything to make Europe disunited and in problem with Russia!Usa- England "support" for Baltics,Ukraine,Poland,Georgia are in line with they true policy.Usa and England are to far to be of any importance to the center of the world land mass-continental Europe,Russia,M.East...All their policy of spread of haos,wars,terrorism,finding a new enemies around the world is to achive their main goal!Nato is BIG FRAUD for Europe and furhter-many states are unable to see this clear big picture!This is why we got no peace in the today world...Thats why Nato and Russia(and the rest of the world) are two different worlds by definition!Nato policy Usa and England (hiden)main goal -will remain the same in future!Nevertheless, Russia is well aware of all of this...Thanke you...
