NATO Secretary General promises to “contain Russia” despite coronavirus pandemic

The North Atlantic Alliance will not only help its members in the fight against the spread of coronavirus, but will also continue to “contain Russia”. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Speaking at a press conference on the eve of the videoconference of the Alliance’s defense ministers, Stoltenberg said that Russia continues to maintain its military presence on the borders with NATO, is building up its forces in the Crimea and the Black Sea, continues to help separatists in the Donbas, so NATO will continue to contain Russia so that ensure the security of alliance countries.



(...) Russia maintains a military presence along the borders of NATO, including in the Black Sea region, increases its military presence in Crimea, strengthens the Black Sea fleet. We responded to this before the coronavirus pandemic, during the pandemic, and I expect this to continue after the pandemic (...)

- said the Secretary General of the alliance, adding that the member countries of the alliance render each other "in full coordination."

According to Stoltenberg, in response to Russia's actions, NATO has strengthened its military presence in the Black Sea region, including Romania, and will continue to work closely with Ukraine and Georgia.

Recall that a videoconference of defense ministers of NATO member countries is scheduled for April 15, at which only one issue will be discussed - the fight against coronavirus.

    Russia for its thousand-year history, no one has been able to restrain if we get very angry .. So Jens is not worth crowing! It would be better if they tried to agree on a peaceful one. We don’t touch you, you don’t touch us, in Soviet times there was such unspoken parity!

      Stoltenberg - well, just a virtuoso impudent!

      Is it really the Russian Federation came closer to the borders of NATO countries ?! Or is it quite the opposite - NATO countries with their armed forces to the borders of Russia ?!

              Stoltenberg is not a simple political figure.
              First, the he is the offspring of one of Norway's most influential families, who have been referred to in the press as the "Norwegian Kennedy" for decades.
              Jens’s father, Torvald Stoltenberg, was the leader of the ruling People’s Worker Party of Norway, was a member of parliament, and received several ministerial posts from the Minister of Defense to the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His mother Karin also worked in the government and at one time led the foreign trade of Norway, then she oversaw the work of the Ministry of Social Policy. Another member of the clan is Johan Holst, the multi-station minister, who led the military department, the police, and foreign policy.
              But the main secret of the power of the "Norwegian Kennedy" lies in their wives: sisters Karina (mother of Jens Stoltenberg) and Marianne They are representatives of the richest Heiberg family in the country, bankers and industrialists.

              The Kheiberg star ascended during WWII when the Vidkun Quisling regime loyal to the Third Reich was established in Norway. It was at this time that all the factories, mines and mines belonging to the members of the Heisberg clan were provided with free labor - prisoners of Norwegian concentration camps, usually Soviet prisoners of war.
              During the WWII, the Norwegian mines worked in 3 shifts, because the Wehrmacht military machine desperately needed iron ore, copper, nickel, non-ferrous metals, and sulfur. And the price of the smooth operation of the mines - 13 thousand prisoners of war who died from overwork (according to our historians, up to 75 thousand Soviet prisoners of war were kept in the Nazi concentration camps in Norway).

              Secondly, despite all the wealth of the Norwegian Kennedy, Jens Stoltenberg - following the example of daddy, too, in his youth, he first got involved in politics with the left movement and on his own initiative offered his services to the KGB - and as a result turned out to be a former KGB agent nicknamed Steklov, which was betrayed, in particular, by the Soviet traitor of the Motherland and defector Gordievsky, but Jens - unlike his supporters and followers - categorically abandoned his left-proletarian political views and easily went out in this revelatory-reconnaissance mess of the defector Gordievsky, as it should be rich offspring "Dry from the water."
              And now Jones Stoltenberg (with his skeleton in the closet) faithfully serves not only his family clan of the military-industrial complex in Norway, but also his new masters in the United States.

        Well, Herr Stoltenberg is a repeater of the ideas of the US generals who have flooded NATO. In itself, this is a figure of nominal - "Vice President Fuchs".
        But what Russia is like - in the World Cup it is approaching NATO, in the Kaliningrad region, you know, it brazenly places missiles at the borders of a peace-loving NATO, arranges exercises on its territory, despite the prohibitions of NATO, with its aviation brings NATO sailors and air force to bloody diarrhea. Well, it’s completely disbanded, not a single exercise of NATO troops does not allow to be carried out productively near its borders. And after all, the damned lives and develops, despite the million sanctions imposed on it by "Europe" and the United States. What to do, what to do? bully

    Apparently Stoltenberg believes that Russia illegally holds its troops on its territory, and that Russia should dismiss them. am

    If Russia borders on NATO countries and holds its troops on its territory, then it is strange that the NATO is worried. Indeed, the NATO countries themselves for some reason also maintain a military presence along the borders of Russia.

    To prevent Russian troops from being along the borders of NATO, countries adjacent to Russia must be excluded from NATO. Then the question will be settled. But Stoltenberg is satisfied with only another option - that Russia be expelled from the countries of the world. Russia is enough just so that no one would bother her.

    Since the views of the West and Russia are antagonistic and completely irreconcilable, the scenarios will sooner or later: 1) armed conflict and the defeat of one of the parties (apparently the defeat of Russia, because it is weaker); 2) a change in the political elite of the West and, accordingly, the disappearance of its mood to defeat Russia (a less likely option compared to the first).

    In order to prevent the military defeat of Russia, it is necessary: ​​1) to restore the economy, especially industry, including through public investment (since domestic private capital is not able to do this); 2) an alliance with China and a number of other eastern countries.

    Then the collective West will try not to attack Russia. If the above conditions do not arise in Russia in the future, then the West will become bolder and attack the weakened Russia.

      Dissolve speak? We can dissolve. Yes And do not be afraid, Mr. Stoltenberg, what will happen, as has happened more than once in history.
      What are the wonderful ballad "Dissolve, shoulder! Swing, hand!" the poet Nikolai Emelin wrote:
      ... The drums are beating, and copper is disturbing
      Demons rage, everything around is shaking
      They are unbearable at Dawn to watch
      Sharp knives are exposed ...

      It may be that the last time
      My dear brother, see you
      The dark army surrounds us -
      We take the fight back to back!

      Dissolve your shoulder! Swing, hand!
      Once again, again! Defeat the enemy!
      Dissolve, shoulder! Swing, hand!
      Once again, again! Defeat the enemy!

      Righteous God, give us brighter powers!
      Do not burn in the fire, do not drown in the water!
      Evil unclean at the gates of Russia ...
      God, give us the strength to stand in trouble!

      The earth sent white angels ...
      A fighting squad from the sky stretches!
      After a long darkness, the bright Dawn -
      My native people are waking up!

      Dissolve your shoulder! Swing, hand!
      Once again, again! Defeat the enemy!
      Dissolve, shoulder! Swing, hand!
