But even if they accepted, I think we should insist on the fact that the United States is really involved in this case. “If the United States is not involved,”The next thing that could happen would be for the Russians to take a test and claim that the Ukrainians have sparked a kind of shooting war, and that they must answer them. Consequently, Europeans present in Ukraine could be the target of fire and should respond and engage without the United States by their side. Frankly, it would be the end of NATO as we know her.“

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to allow Russia to divide us, and it would really be the late NATO end“, he said, adding that Europe’s defense capacities are too limited for it to be autonomous.
