The unit now includes not only the strengthening of the Eastern borders, but also the reassurance of the Kremlin that NATO is not going to attack Russia.
Now, after the NATO summit in Poland, the leaders of the West need to solve specific problems – where to place your troops, how to use it and to avoid dangerous misunderstandings, acting at the borders of Putin’s Russia. This is stated in the article political commentator The Wall Street Journal’s Julian Barnes.
Leaders of the Alliance, says the author, “will have to explain their actions in the immediate vicinity of the Russian Federation to those who sit in the Kremlin. It is for this tomorrow, July 13, representatives of the bloc meet with Russian Ambassador to NATO Alexander Grushko.
But a headache with how and where to deploy troops in Poland and the Baltic States, the Alliance need to solve other pressing problems, one of which is the development of new patterns of closer cooperation with the EU in the Central Mediterranean, as well as create whole of the black sea fleet of NATO.
The new commander of NATO forces in Europe Curtis Scaparrotti received from the leaders of the West the task to reformat the power block under the containment of the threat from Russia and bring them into the state when responding to the threat takes place almost instantaneously without a catastrophic delay. Also, American General will monitor the development of the “safety mechanisms” to accidentally and unintentionally “not get involved” in the conflict with the Kremlin, and to puzzle over how to collect a bunch and make effective multinational battalions on the Eastern border of the block.
How will NATO’s relationship with Moscow will depend on the “behavior of Russians in the coming months” and the presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s desire to leave Ukraine alone. This opinion, according to the Wall Street Journal, stated the former head of the US Department of state, Madeleine Albright, which met in Warsaw a few meetings with officials and military experts. She believes that Putin increased the tension in relations with the Alliance to mask Russia’s economic problems.
“When your country is doing badly, need external enemies” – briefly explained the behavior of the Kremlin leader Albright, expressing concern that “to cope with Russian provocateurs will be difficult.”
The nightmare scenario which Washington fears, assumes an escalation of the conflict on the background of some misunderstandings in the region where there are a large number of ground, air and Maritime forces. Such was the case during the cold war, the author notes, even if NATO leaders constantly assure us that “it is impossible to return to the conditions of that period. But some officials still fear that such a stress is very probable incidents, the newspaper writes.
