Moscow-Sana
Member of the Russian Federation Council Alexei Pushkov confirmed that NATO ignores the real threats facing the West, which are terrorism and the Corona pandemic.
Russia Today quoted Pushkov as saying: “NATO does not address any of the real challenges facing the Western world, such as terrorism or the Corona pandemic, but rather is fighting purely invented and hypothetical threats,” indicating that the alliance lost its raison d'être from a defensive point of view after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. And the Eastern Bloc.
For this reason, Bushkov said, NATO uses to promote allegations about the "danger of the Russian threat" as an excuse for the sole basis for its existence and to maintain strategic American control over Europe, stressing that without fabricating "this imaginary threat, NATO will begin to collapse."
Russia has consistently asserted that the West uses flimsy arguments as an excuse to deploy its forces near the Russian border.
