The European ”troika” (Great Britain, Germany and France) are signing military support agreements outside NATO frameworks to allow for quicker and more flexible responses in the event of a feared possible military conflict with Russia, Inna Vetrenko, Head of the Department of Social Technologies at the Presidential Academy in St. Petersburg, told TASS in an interview.
”They conclude bilateral, trilateral military support agreements, which prescribe a very important article, which is not in the NATO Charter. It’s related to the fact that if one of the parties is in danger or one of the parties is drawn into a military conflict, the other side automatically enters into this conflict, because the threat extends to it. This is necessary for all these treaties to work more nimbly, because the North Atlantic Alliance is large. These are not only the European countries that sign these agreements, but also others,” Vetrenko, who is also Professor, Doctor of Political Sciences, said.
The expert added that NATO decision-making is hard, since the alliance’s charter is very rigid. ”This is why Europe is hedging itself by making military decisions in the event of a war with Russia, which they are preparing for, with a faster option,” the professor explained.
Vetrenko said that Europe had already said that it was preparing for a war with Russia, which, in their opinion, would allegedly begin in 2030. Läs artikel
