How is the Kremlin viewing the NATO summit? | DW News

It's been 75 years since the US, Canada, and Western European countries forged an alliance to defend themselves against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. What began with just 12 members has now grown to an alliance of 32 nations.
The challenges facing them are many. Some old, some new. Supplying Ukraine with what it needs to fight off Russia's invasion is on top of the agenda. But now it's not alone. And the geographic focus has also shifted. Leaders want to push back against Russia, China, North Korea and Iran in the Indo-Pacific region.
00:00 NATO leaders gather for 75th anniversary summit

[@EscudoPadraoPrata]

They are already at war with Russia. The ones not willing to a direct confrontation from the begin are now paniking, because they just accepted a passive participation and are being pushed to more commitment. Nato is spliting either way. If the ones presuring now for a negotiation solution gain their momentum the ones willing for full swing will also slit appart. It seems nobody is still ready to make mea culpa. So the escape goat is being put at Trump. Anyways the probability of a second term for Biden is really small, change with a new admnistration, Trump or otherwise is going to bring change. It is clear NATO is paralized mentaly. This paralisation in my oppinion is extremely danger because the battle field is dinamic. Changes need to be intruduced right now.

The 2% is a number that will be taken from elsewhere, and this is problematic in a democracy, as you know. The US already has a huge debt. Peace is most of the time better for the economy. But we now have a slow-running economy, which is why war economic arguments are so loud. Trump's idea of forcing countries to spend more on defense was not because the world was dangerous, but because by keeping the military complexes working around the world, the pressure for new wars would go down. And it did. Trump did calm down all the hot spots around the world, becoming the only US president in a long time who did not start a war. NATO, which was supposed to be just an alliance pact, is now appearing in all fields of everyday situations. This expansion of the spectrum of action of NATO is worrying. Worrying for democracy and worrying for security. NATO needs to be scaled down. Not all countries are worthy of being allies. Countries whose national policies and foreign affairs use a belligerent attitude that endangers the peace and security of the pact as a whole need to be invited out. The three Baltic countries should be invited out in order to keep the UK, Poland, Finland, and even France, less belligerent.

[@petergreenwood7731]

Russia and their nuke threat Putin quote - "continued escalation will lead to their use" Blinken needs to do his job - the boy wonder diplomat He will not talk, push for it, tell me why?

[@EscudoPadraoPrata]

It becomes clear the devisions within NATO are growing doesn't matter wether what. All made their calculations an they come to the conclusion they don't have industrial capacity to keep this going for much longer. The idea that some countries will go futher in supporting Ukraine more than others createas a danger for the ones that already are stressed about the all situation. This is breacking the alliance. On the other side if the pressure to end the war becomes more predominante those more surportive for a military solution may also breack the aliance apart. There is no easy solutions. But member states have to finally realize that a scenario where Russia fully destroys Ukraine is much worse than a negotiated solution. When will realism and rationality win over ideology and emotional commitment? You tell me.

The Point of NATO Is Peace, Not Endless War | Opinion by Viktor Orban, PM of Hungary. "It is worth remembering that the most successful military alliance in world history started as a peace project, and its future success depends on its ability to maintain peace. But today, instead of peace, the agenda is the pursuit of war; instead of defense it is offense"

[@tech477]

Orban forgot to mention that if Ukraine were accepted to NATO, there would not be no war. You are citing a Russian agent, because this is what Orban is.

NATO's actual leader, the US, in terms of foreign policy, is to be regarded as an imperialist rogue state. The wars and coups the US has initiated or interfered in are countless and millions of civilians have been killed. In almost all cases, it has also involved countries far from American territory that themselves did not threaten the United States in any way. It has simply been about geopolitics and about maintaining US power and influence. France's presence and military operations in a number of African countries "to protect its interests" is another of many examples of how NATO is not only a defense alliance, but also an alliance consisting of imperialist actors.
