Loading ...Putin A “Gift” To NATO, UK Defense Chief Says In Urging More Spending
Follows Blinken’s “opportunity” remarks…
Days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the sabotage attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines a “tremendous opportunity” – the UK’s top defense chief expressed something similar, describing Putin and his war on Ukraine as “a gift” to the NATO alliance.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace addressed the 2-day Warsaw Security Forum on Tuesday, and talked about the need for “a wake-up call” for NATO countries. He then went on to say, according to the Associated Press:
…many nations in Europe had become complacent after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and that Russian President Vladimir Putin has become “in a sense, a gift to NATO.”
A gift? Wait until you unwrap it and see what is inside.
What a fool! Putin will see the end of NATO. He will also see the elimination of nuclear missiles based in Europe, and aimed at his homeland. Only when that is accomplished will Russia return to normal trade relations with Europe, without which, Europe is impoverished. Puffing up your chest doesn’t make you tough. Lots of puffed up chests have gone down for the count.
