NATO Article 5 Dumped

A Kremlin insider has sensationally claimed Donald Trump has given Russia the ‘green light’ to attack major European cities, including London.

Russian propagandists and Kremlin mouthpieces fawned over comments made by Trump’s Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth that said Europeans would need to commit more to the defence of the continent. He added that Ukraine should not expect to return to its pre-2014 borders and concede territory taken by force, the time that has happened in Europe since the end of WW2.

On the Russian TV show “The Evening with Vladimir Solovyov,” political scientist Sergey Mikheyev said: “Unless the US is bluffing, although what’s going on there domestically is certainly serious, We should make this thought clear for the Europeans. Now we can actually strike Brussels, London and Paris. We can forget about Article 5 and forget about Americans stepping up to help.”

His comments refer to the Article 5 security guarantee of NATO member states – which includes the UK – that agrees to come to the defence of an ally of the organisation should they be- pre-emptively attacked. Article 5 was a central pillar of the defence pact during the Cold War and was introduced as a way to contain the Soviet Union.

Others in the group also spoke favourably of Trump’s willingness to discuss peace terms with Putin. Trump appeared to be willing to exclude Ukraine from the talks, a step the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky would be unacceptable for them.

The Director General of Moscow film studio Mosfilm, Karen Shakhnazarov, spoke about talks between global leaders viewing them as favourable for Russia. He said: “The president of the United States called the president of Russia. That alone is already a major success.”

“The blockade has been broken,” he continued. “It means a lot to all of them that the president of the United States, the mightiest nation in the West, as great as the Roman Empire, made this call. It’s as if Julius Caesar himself telephoned a barbarian, a chieftain of some German tribe.”

America’s turn away from Europe upends the post-WW2 era and has forced leaders across the continent to consider significantly increasing the amount of GDP spent on military defence. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also committed the UK to sending British troops to Ukraine as a part of a peacekeeping mission.

The Kremlin has welcomed America’s apparent willingness to blame European’s pivot away from the continent.

Critics have blasted Trump’s stance towards Ukraine as a betrayal of a nation that was invaded.

    A ‘Kremlin insider’. Russia, before or during the Ukraine SMO has never shown the slightest interest in attacking other NATO countries. Their politicians must fancy themselves to consider that Russia would consider it worthwhile.

    They are running out of ideas of how to scare people about the big bad wolf.

    Maybe Mr Dump wants Russia to launch a few missiles into the EU, and is opening up the option for the RUssians. If the EU won’t make peace, then a few missiles might help. They fired one into Raf Welford after the Moskva, and blew up the RAF’s missile arsenal..https://tapnewswire.com/2024/09/04/the-silence-of-the-bbc/

    Taking a step back and looking at the Big Picture, in light of The Agenda, the 10 Regions are being forged and the EU Military is coming up fast. Thoughts ?

    I met a Ukainian who had owned a computer business employing 15 people when the war began. He told me thru a loud speaking translation mobile phone software – that soon as the Russians attacked the currency and economy collapsed overnight and he lost his business. And that he and his wife and disabled daughter were told by the British – to get COVID-19 vaccinated – then they would be given free passports and could pile as much as they could into their car and drive to the UK – where they would get 6 month free accommodations, a job for six months and other benefits and then be on their own. So he and his wife got jabbed and came here with their daughter and are still here. He also told me that Russia is a very poor country and that 80-90% of the people live in rural areas with majority having no electric or gas and that all the money and modernity is centered in and around Moscow – but most people are poor. Being that he lived next door – he was a good barometer to gorge what true the picture of Russia really is – aside from the image painted by the corrupt western private owned mass media.
