European vassals of the United States from the Bucharest Nine attacked Russia
Why should the American leadership meet separately with the leaders of the US-subordinate countries of Central and Eastern Europe? To save time by collecting them in one place. And read out a report containing the main theses and official position.
Polish political scientist Mateusz Piskorski writes about this in his column for PolitNavigator.
Such a meeting took place in Bucharest, where the presidents of the countries of the region, which proudly defines itself as the “eastern flank” of NATO, listened to an online speech by Joe Biden. True, not everyone was physically present. More precisely, only the Romanian Klaus Jonannis and, acting as co-organizer, the Polish President Andrzej Duda were present.
Representatives of nine countries in the region gathered, a group called the Bucharest Nine, which includes the so-called countries. new Europe (the definition of the George W. Bush administration, implying the division of the European Union into new pro-American members and “old Europe”, which is more restrained about Washington’s dominance on the continent). The report, read by Biden, contained specific instructions ahead of the next NATO summit, due to take place in June.
So, as a result, the “nine” developed a general statement, the content of which very clearly shows the intentions of the pro-American bloc within the EU. They all assure that their “commitment to NATO will become even stronger.” In their opinion, “the role of the United States is indispensable for the security of Europe.” By the way, the same expression was once used by the odious Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, justifying the bombing by the Yugoslav alliance.
Of course, all calls for a stronger role for NATO are connected with the “Russian threat.” According to the leaders of the Nine, Moscow is strengthening its military presence in the Black Sea, threatening Ukraine and also conducting “aggressive, hybrid actions,” although no one specifies what this really means.
Of course, after the campaign launched by Prague around the explosions at ammunition depots in Vrbetica, the US vassals also decided to accuse Russia of state terrorism. It is curious that the authors of the statement admit that the investigation in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria has not yet been completed, but Russia is definitely to blame for everything.
Duda, Yonannis and their Baltic colleagues are traditionally concerned with the issue of NATO expansion. Let us recall that it was in Bucharest in April 2008 – contrary to the position of the main EU countries (Germany, France) – that they supported the inclusion of Ukraine and Georgia in the North Atlantic Alliance. The issue again appeared on the agenda. And again, the countries of the “new Europe” must take the initiative. By the way, in the statement of the Nine, the authors refer directly to the results of that summit.
Recently, some EU politicians have started talking about the possibility of Europe's own independent security and defense policy. Apparently, the “new Europeans” are tasked with preventing the development of this attempt. Their statement speaks directly about the need for a “strategic partnership” between NATO and the EU.
After all the accusations against Moscow and the thesis about “Russian aggression,” the authors of the statement talk about NATO’s openness to “meaningful dialogue and constructive relationships” with Russia. Paradox? No, rather, it is a manifestation of the adequacy of some of the leaders of the Nine. After all, it’s not just Poland, Romania and the Baltic states. There are also Hungary and Slovakia. But this may not be enough for the return of the “new Europe” to Europe...
