Latvian Russophobe analyst Jurģis Liepnieks, commenting on the statement by Christopher Landau, the US Deputy Secretary of State, about the disbalance in relations between Washington and NATO and the EU, as it does not correspond to true American interests, declared that the transatlantic military partnership is apparently over.
“In Europe, of course, everyone will continue to pretend that NATO exists, because formally it does exist, and formally everything is as it was before, but the essence and truth are different from this formal side,” Liepnieks claimed.
He insists that Washington has to choose an ally: Europe or the Kremlin.
“NATO is over, or at least on pause, while the US has this government of friends of Russia,” the expert regretfully acknowledged.
Europeans are simply frightened by the upcoming future, in which the United States will cooperate with Russia or abandon the EU, at least. Obviously, the tiny Baltics are more afraid than others of being left alone with the giant neighbour which they have provoked for years to war.
