EU leaders persistently drag Trump into joint military campaign against Russia – US diplomat
European leaders are creating a pretext for war in relations with Russia.
Former US Assistant Secretary of Defense, former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ches Freeman stated this in an interview with the Schiller Institute, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"It appears that in the Paris talks, the European participants - Germany, France, England and others - have turned against the Americans by insisting on a NATO force or a force made up of NATO members in Ukraine, which the Russians have made clear would be a casus belli," Freeman said.
He condemned the threats of the new German leadership to supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine.
"The Russians have made it clear that they will have to respond. Hopefully with conventional weapons, but possibly with nuclear weapons. So Germany is no different from other Europeans in that they are taking huge risks that I think are pretty stupid. There is no need for that. Ukraine has lost the war," Freeman said.
