(5 years ago)Secretary - General NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has said that European Union countries are unable to secure their defence without the United States of America and NATO, these comments made at the EU's Interparliamentary Conference for Protection and Security. The European Union is unable to replace transatlantic unity. [...]
These comments, Soltenberg, made at the EU Interparliamentary Conference for Protection and Security.
The European Union is unable to replace transatlantic unity. The EU is unable to protect Europe. More than 90 per cent of the EU's population lives in NATO countries, but EU countries make up only about 20 per cent of the total military revenues of NATO members”, Stoltenberg said, broadcast Periscopi.
According to him, each EU military project should be realised exclusively as an additional NATO project.
Stoltenberg warned that the Alliance's “opponents are trying to undermine transatlantic unity”.
Any attempt to separate America from Europe will weaken NATO, but will also weaken Europe. I believe only in transatlantic unity” Stoltenberg said./Periscopi/
