NATO CHIEF INSULTS EU: Rutte SMASHES European MEPs For Thinking They Can Survive Without U.S.

Описание: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told European lawmakers on Monday that any notion of Europe defending itself without the United States is a "dream," warning that "strategic autonomy" would require a staggering 10% of GDP in defense spending. Defending his pragmatic relationship with Donald Trump, Rutte credited the U.S. President for forcing allies like Germany and Italy to finally meet spending targets, effectively removing the long-standing "irritant" in transatlantic relations. The NATO chief emphasized that the U.S. nuclear umbrella remains the "ultimate guarantor" of European freedom, dismissing the feasibility of a sudden independent European military.
