NATO-Russia Council Frozen Due to West-2017 Exercise

24
In Brussels, announced the suspension of the mechanism for cooperation between Moscow and NATO because of the strategic exercise "West-2017", recently held on the territory of Belarus and Russia, according to News.



As before, the Baltic countries and Great Britain became the main opponents of the dialogue.

The NATO-Russia Council (NRC) is frozen by the end of this year on the initiative of Brussels. Apparently, one of the main reasons were the teachings of Russia and Belarus "West-2017". The Baltic countries - members of NATO have repeatedly tried to freeze this format. They were supported by the UK. However, despite this decision, communication channels continue to operate,
told a newspaper source in diplomatic circles.

The date of the next meeting is unknown. The NATO publication said that now they are only considering the possibility of convening the next meeting.

“Since the summer of 2016, the NRC has held five meetings to discuss topics such as the situation in Ukraine and Afghanistan, military transparency and risk reduction. NATO allies are open to a periodic, focused and meaningful dialogue with Russia in the NRC, ”the alliance’s press service added.

Russia's permanent representative, Alexander Grushko, has repeatedly stated that NATO’s reluctance to "step down from the politicized and counterproductive position it took at the summits in Wales and Warsaw is preventing the establishment and development of relations between Russia and the alliance."

“West-2017” is just a contrived excuse. After all, the teachings did not pose any danger. In this case, they could attend journalists and military observers. In the tense conditions of international relations, the desire to thwart cooperation with Russia is extremely irresponsible, unprofessional and stupid. Against the backdrop of global threats, the alliance will somehow have to reckon with Russia's position. Brussels must realize that the world has ceased to be unipolar,
Franz Klintsevich, deputy chairman of the Federation Council defense committee, told the newspaper.

Earlier, Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid said that during the “West” exercise, a military operation against NATO would be worked out. And after the completion of the maneuvers, the MEP from Latvia, Artis Pabriks, stressed that with the help of such events Moscow is “preparing for a large-scale war”.

    Why are they so afraid of these teachings, like Russia will attack them. And Russia has nuclear weapons, but here they were frightened of several tanks.
    Russia, if it wanted to start a war, would fire from Topol, Ash, and others.

    The Islamists are raping them, blowing them up, and they are engaged in nonsense.

          Ash is generally a multi-purpose submarine. laughing it’s not at all like the Topol M strategic missile system, Russia will not be the first to start a war.

    And the Balts, judging by their leading role in communicating with Russia, are NATO’s main striking force and their opinion first of all!

    the main opponents of the dialogue were the Baltic countries and Great Britain

    And the NATO Dragon exercises are not a reason for suspension?
    Well what nonsense. "You are to blame because we believe that you are to blame. And the point, because you are to blame." The logic of inference is level 80.
    To send them far, I don’t see much sense in further dialogue in stupid and stupid ..

    Europe must be afraid of something, it’s scary to be afraid of Islamists, and Russia is not scared to be afraid.

    Everything goes according to the established tradition: the Anglo-Saxons have always been enemies, and no Russophobian hysteria can do without sprats wink

    due to the strategic exercise "West-2017"

    Probably very offended that Russia did not attack Poland with the Baltic states. Regular Western forecasts based on "verified data" from unnamed sources once again did not fully materialize. The West has once again confirmed that it is engaged in misinformation and outright provocation against Russia. It is just necessary to somehow react to the fact that Russia did not appear in the war.

    Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid said that during the exercise "West" will be tested military operation against NATO.
    Only a psychopath admits the idea of ​​an attack on an organization with an armed forces of almost 4 million troops fool But when it comes to money, logic disappears request

    Doubtfully, the Britons either forgot, or, on the contrary, understand well that no one will fight with them by conventional means, and even more so to land on them.

    "The Russia-NATO Council has been frozen due to the exercises" West-2017 ""

    By such decisions, the West wants to rule Russia and instruct us to do what is not.
    It seems to me that mutual communication between potential opponents is beneficial for both parties.
    Therefore, in similar cases, it is better to follow the popular proverb "And Vaska listens and eats."
    As he presses (and he presses necessarily) - they themselves will come running.

    It is difficult to imagine a more stupid excuse. Nat does not want to cooperate, in this case it will be difficult for her to represent Russia as an aggressor. And so there is no cooperation, and generally not an aggressor ...
