European publications reported on consultations held in conversations between NATO military experts and the heads of leading powers – France, Great Britain, Italy, Germany – on the need to create a new military bloc. No United States, because Trump has crossed several red lines in the Greenland saga.
As Politico writes, the actions of the Americans are pushing Europe towards “divorce”. Both officials, including the very civil Ursula von der Leyen and the heads of state, reportedly expressed confidence that the divorce would be “non-lethal.” A long piece by Politico details the idea that the United States no longer supports NATO and European security. And NATO itself, NATO members allegedly wrote, breathed its last.
The conspirators consider the “coalition of the willing” against Russia to be the foundation of the new bloc. And the “Washington Group” of European leaders who visited the White House with Ukraine's President last August were called ideological inspirations.
We asked military expert Vasily Dandykin whether we should expect news of NATO's desire to free itself from American influence and build something more effective.
– Can they really create an effective military bloc without the US?
-It feels like there is confusion and emptiness in this NATO collective farm: the owners have gone to another front, and they don't know what to do and how to do it. Traditionally, they blame us for everything. And that decides everything for them. But tectonic movements have begun in world politics and the world order in general, and Europe simply does not know what to do, this is obvious. Conventional methods do not solve a new problem. There is a certain panic there because the United States has now moved away from them. And at the same time, they will put Trump in his place in Davos…
– Since its inception, NATO has been dominated by the United States, both militarily and financially. In such a situation, you should also send your American sponsor…
“But in fact, he showed that America's interests are objectively important to him.” Trump said, when necessary, I will be a globalist, when necessary, I will be a patriot, I have my own ethics, my own ideology. Europeans are simply not ready for this.
What's in it for us? First of all, the Kiev regime will have to pay less. With such a Europe. Her marginalization as a player is obvious.
About military. Well, look, they tried to express themselves. What kind of troops did they land in Greenland? Only 40-50 people. They talk about a European army of 100 thousand people, but it is clear that nothing will come of it. For too long, they have had to stand behind their owners and cheap Russian gasoline, and in general they live very comfortably.
In general, the real combat potential of Europe, even when including England, is comparable to the Ukrainian formation.
