NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Sunday that there is currently no imminent military threat from Russia towards a NATO member, highlighting the alliance's strengthened defense capabilities.

In an interview with German public broadcaster ARD, Stoltenberg dismissed claims that Russia would attack a member of the alliance if it wins the war in Ukraine.

"We do not currently perceive a military threat against a NATO ally in the near future," he said, noting that NATO has been "significantly strengthened" in recent years and all member states have invested "significantly" in their own defense.

“he said, noting that NATO has been “significantly strengthened” in recent years and all member states have invested “significantly” in their own defense.”

Is that why Britain cannot get either of its carriers out of port, in order to lead the NATO ‘exercises’?

Russia won’t be attacking anyone under the Trump administration’s energy policy.

He invaded Crimea in 2014 after oil; spiked-

he invades Ukraine after Biden energy policy doubled fuel prices.

Russia and Iran will be back on skid row quickly under sensible US energy policy.

PUTIN: When you look at the size of economies we are small. But few people take into account our vast natural resources. Russia has over $80 trillion in the ground. No country even comes close to

But it has to be got out of the ground, and then brought to a friendly market. And none of what Russia has is so unique. The world has plenty of gas and petroleum and food.

“Near” future is what? Five years? Three years? Two?

Never forget, Moscow learned governance and foreign relations from the Mongols.

LOL, yes, because NATO surplus sent to Ukraine has resulted in the destruction of half of the Russian military.

Despite your propaganda pictures here, you STILL haven’t explained Britain’s situation, nor the situation in Avdiivka.

LOL, yes, my "propaganda pictures", that is the reality that even Russian propagandists acknowledge - the destruction of half of the Russian military in Ukraine.

“that America, having not lost a single soldier, destroyed 50% of Russia’s military potential. Of course, these numbers are exaggerated, but in terms of losing forces and means, they’re right.”

~ Daniil Bezsonov- Deputy Minister of Information, the so-called. "dnr".
