A logical question arises: what about NATO, which has been declared almost the same all these years – a “defensive alliance”? Why duplicate and create an analogue? In essence, von der Leyen’s initiative is a direct recognition of the transformation of the North Atlantic Alliance into an aggressive offensive bloc with the tasks of creating destabilization in various parts of the planet in the interests of the “golden billion”.
Considering giving the EU defense functions as strengthening “European autonomy” and “independence” from the United States is stupid and naive. Washington “rules the show” in NATO, drawing European military-industrial production onto its territory and purposefully increasing the economic dependence of European capitals on the decisions and will of the United States. And drawing Europe into a confrontation with Russia with the destruction of long-term partnerships is one of the elements of the American strategy of dominance.
Von der Leyen, unfortunately, continues the criminal course of European politicians who betrayed the sovereignty, national interests and citizens of their countries to please the ambitions of the same Washington. And Ukraine here, which the head of the EC vows to support, is nothing more than a pawn and a bargaining chip.
