European NATO members have begun to talk about the possibility of a Russian attack and the refusal of the US to defend itself.
At the Munich Security Conference, representatives of NATO member countries privately discussed the need to prepare for a possible Russian attack on one of them amid doubts about the US’s role in Europe’s defense. Bloomberg reported this on Sunday, February 18, citing its own sources.
In a story headlined “Ukraine’s allies model world where US withdraws,” the newspaper notes that “NATO members are now talking privately about a Russian attack on one of themselves as a danger that requires an immediate response, as they increasingly doubt whether “the United States will maintain its traditional role in the defense of Europe as part of the alliance.”
“The growing anxiety among US allies in Europe stems from the realization that they are at a point where Russia is emboldened by its successes on the battlefield, the US may reduce support for their region, and they didn’t do anything to prepare.” [к вторжению]. That pessimism dominated talk this weekend at the Munich Security Conference, where leaders and defense officials gathered to look at the world’s biggest geopolitical threat,” Bloomberg described the mood of the officials, noting that made US President Joe Biden did his best, using the word “panic” to describe the situation.
Senior defense officials present expressed concern about the failure of the US to provide billions of dollars in funding to Ukraine and said they were planning for situations where a very public waning of support could push on Russia to directly attack a NATO ally.
We remind you that the German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius allowed a Russian attack on the EU “in five years.”
We add that the head of the Munich Security Conference, Christoph Heusgen, said that the possibility of a Russian attack on a NATO member country cannot be eliminated.
