Spanish Foreign Ministry: NATO should cooperate with Moscow and Beijing

The North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) must work with Moscow and Beijing while maintaining a tough approach to them. Russia and China should not be viewed only as rivals.

This statement was made by Spanish Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya in an interview with the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

The question is not to define China and Russia as our new rivals, but to see what our relationship with them will be, based on the risks.

- she thinks.

She argues that NATO countries should take into account both long-known risks and those that have arisen relatively recently. They were also announced at the recent summit of the alliance. In particular, climate change on our planet, which greatly threatens global security, should be taken very seriously. Nor should we underestimate the threats of cyberattacks, disinformation, and more.

The minister considers the Indo-Pacific region to be the most critical zones, and the exacerbation of the US-Chinese rivalry is also indicated.

And, even as a NATO member, Spain must cooperate with China and Russia.

Laya also noted that Madrid should not forget about Latin America, where the influence of Beijing and Moscow is becoming more noticeable against the background of the decline in the influence of Madrid itself.

What are you speaking about?!

Specify the specifics! A typical set of streamlined phrases taught in specialized universities that graduate employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

All this from the Spanish Foreign Ministry is nothing more than just a liberal-on-duty phrase in favor of NATO - with manipulative enticement for Russia in the networks of the West, to step on the historically old international anti-Russian military-political rake of the late 80s and early 90s of the last century!

Such "cooperation" of NATO with the USSR / Russia with one gate against Russia from NATO our country has already seen Gorbachev in "perestroika" under Yeltsin.

NATO is a military organization-alliance of terrorist-conquering states.

And the PRC is not even going to "play the fool" in the international arena, as Russia once did, and historically truly learns from our military-political and economic mistakes!

Maybe. But some reasonable acting politicians are NOT Rus- and Chinese-phobes still occur.

When a motley gang is assembled, there is always an ataman in it, but in general, everything is according to the fable "Swan, Cancer and Pike".

Americans are shifting their focus to China.
Eastern Europe to Russia.
But Spain is still dreaming of Latin America, from where it was expelled a long time ago, but ties with the Hispanic population remained ...
And foreign regions are not particularly interesting to anyone.

Madrid should also not forget about Latin America, where the influence of Beijing and Moscow is becoming more noticeable against the background of the decline in the influence of Madrid itself.

Such a NATO is a realm of phantom pains about its former greatness. And it seems like all together, but everyone wants their own. And there is not enough power to control the whole world.

I remember how they did not share the loads of Chinese masks at the beginning of the pandemic! And if there is a war? Will be better?

One of those who have at least some kind of power, and common sense in their reasoning!

[tralflot1832]

Let's start with the fact that the main risk is the NATO bloc. Maybe it will be enough to play exceptional games. Do you have money for Latin America? China does.

[Evil troll]

I would like some rough examples of cooperation. And even with a tough approach.

Spanish Foreign Ministry: NATO should cooperate with Moscow and Beijing

... Look what they are ...

while maintaining a tough approach to them.

formidable, straight horror.

[cniza]

Good time !

It looks like she is so encouraging herself ...

[rocket757]

Well, yes, the gayropean cheeks have pouted, and there is no one to let out the bow.
Russia does not care all their attempts, and others, it seems, too.

[cniza]

She has such a job, she needs to be told, apparently there was a task about Russia and China.

[rocket757]

If only a talking shop ... they started something there, they again clump together, make plans.

[cniza]

As always, they gather in a crowd and will threaten ...

[rocket757]

They can and will buzz ... but now it is not necessary, some of whose specific INTERES may be stronger.

[cniza]

It is very unclear where the process will move ...

[rocket757]

It is difficult to predict, and it is not necessary ... soon everything will become clear.

[cniza]

And we definitely have no choice, we can only observe ...

(NATO) must cooperate with Moscow and Beijing, while maintaining a tough approach to them

In short, it probably looks like this - to cooperate toughly promoting only your own interests and spitting on yours. And where will such "cooperation" lead? At the same time, I remembered climate change and a noticeable impact in Latin America. It was still necessary to remember the UFO.

"The North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) must cooperate with Moscow and Beijing, while maintaining a tough approach to them." (C) The disenfranchised were spoiled in the 90s. They will never realize that their "tough" approach is even tougher. "I remembered the old woman as a girl."

Who's stopping you?

This is from the "bad dancer" theme.

There will be no dialogue with NATO. NATO is as the United States will say. Russia, according to Stoltenberg's "talking jacket", is an enemy, not a rival. Here Ms. Laya is disingenuous. Yes, they themselves got confused in their statements.

[cniza]

Erdogan is trying to do it, he seems to be holding on.

[Kurare]

Erdogan is like a pebble in a NATO boot. You can't punish! To endure is hard!

[cniza]

Yes, but Turkey is very necessary and important, first of all for the United States, and therefore they endure ...

[Kurare]

Quote: cniza

... that's why they endure ...

They tolerate - yes. The coup attempt was not the last, I think so.

[cniza]

Especially in Turkey , but the next attempt will be cooked or they are already preparing more thoroughly ...
