(ANSA) - ROME, SEPTEMBER 07 - The takeover of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan marks "the end of the American century", and in this context "NATO is the collateral victim", which requires the rise of "a European army".
This was stated by the leader of IV, Matteo Renzi, in the Senate after the information given by the ministers Di Maioe Guerini.
"It is not true that the US has lost the war, - affirmed Renzi - they have won the war, they have lost the post-war period.
Against terrorism they got a result ". The US, therefore," lost the postwar period to the corruption of the Afghan opium lords, because they failed to build a state entity, and because they did not envision a great cultural challenge. " the American withdrawal from Afghanistan marks "the end of a season", that of the US global role: "Trump's America First - noted Renzi - was also accepted by Biden. I'm sorry even if I respect President
Biden
".
In this new scenario, besides the" victims on the ground "there is also" NATO who is the collateral victim "." Macron - he recalled - spoke of brain death of NATO, but here we are to death ", because it is not facing the new challenges;for this "now we need a European army". (HANDLE).
