American edition: Not everyone in NATO liked Biden's decision to start a dialogue with Russia

Not all countries of the alliance liked the decision of US President Joe Biden to negotiate with Russia about the situation around Ukraine and NATO's actions, according to the American agency Bloomberg, citing diplomatic sources.

According to one of the sources, some of the US's European NATO allies "did not like very much" the decision of the American president on a dialogue with Russia on Ukraine, made during a conversation between Biden and Putin on Tuesday, December 7, 2021. It is reported that criticism was voiced against Joe Biden for such a decision, and one of the countries in general "flew into a rage" from the US position. The source did not name the countries that criticized Washington.

On the other hand, another source, also from the diplomatic environment of the United States, became more informative, which brought a little clarity. According to him, the criticism came from the "eastern flank" of NATO, from countries in the past "subordinate" to the Soviet Union and currently experiencing "Russian aggression". However, the diplomat did not or did not want to name the country that was "enraged".

They demand immediate clarification as to what exactly President Joe Biden is planning.

- said a diplomatic source.

In principle, a conclusion can be drawn from the existing information, three former Baltic republics and Poland constantly declare about "Russian aggression". It is these four who are ardent critics of all Russia's actions. Ukraine could have been added to them, but it is not a NATO member and is not part of the "eastern flank" of the alliance.

Earlier it was reported that during the talks between Putin and Biden, the parties agreed to start a dialogue on NATO, hold meetings and consultations, and discuss in more detail the positions of Russia and the alliance. At present, relations between Brussels and Moscow are at their lowest point, Russia withdrew its diplomats from NATO and closed the bloc's office in Moscow.

Hussars - to be silent!

[Retvizan 8]

Even more they would not have liked the Russian "vigorous" bomb in their bins.
The cat scratches on its back!

[Pessimist22]

Regional centers show significance

[Uncle lee]

"went into a rage"

They carry water on the angry!

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Of course, not everyone liked Biden's decision to chat, most likely in vain with Russia! "Baltic mini-tigers", as always, are against any contacts with Russia. And Poland - and in general is furious: they were counting on bablishko for the deployment of weapons and NATO troops, which, perhaps, will not receive!

[Mountain shooter]

Yes, the Poles are, the stump is clear ... they have already counted the dividends from the exacerbation, and then they cut in the "back" ... And routine questions fell down, which the exacerbation removed for an indefinite period. How much fine is there per day? For a coal power plant, but for the legislation "not European" ...

It would be better to write how many FOR and how many AGAINST. And the Poles just gathered to bite off a piece of Ukraine on the sly, and then the Oblomingo bird flew in! Of course, they were furious.

Big uncles "play their game" ... "share w / A / kalyatam" was not supposed to be defined AT ALL.
All their screeching is ... they are screeching, were, are and will be.

[Vladimir 290]

You and the Poles be more careful, I myself saw on TV how they in four on a separate tank defeated half of the Nazi army and took Berlin. Even now, if the Georgians help, they will find a Soviet tank (there are still some left), though they probably won't give them Sharik.

[Vlad69]

It is clear that they are Polish, but I would like to know what kind of aggression they are experiencing, that they "cannot eat bigos". Migrants chtol?

[mikh-korsakov]

There is an option that it was intended that way. In NATO, decisions on important issues are made by consensus. Then why not play the good grandfather of Biden, who agreed to discuss the issue of guarantees only because he has such a role. But now Poland has risen, and the clear-minded say that guarantees are only through my corpse. After that, the kind grandfather throws up his hands, they say, I would like to, but there is no consensus. They will ask me why it was so cleverly conceived, couldn’t it be simpler, they say, to send away with our guarantees. Well, for example, because they decided that in disputes with Putin, Biden speaks from a weak position, because they understand that if something happens, the Russian Federation will quickly give Ukraine a checkmate. And just in case, they came up with a two-way move with the performance of a kind grandfather.

Psheki are furious, however !!!!!!!

... They will squeal and stop .... big uncles, squeals from the bottom are not interested at all.

[Prisoner]

Poles, Czechs and Balts piss with boiling water, don't go to a fortune-teller.

[Grandfather Mozai]

The Czechs are pursuing a balanced foreign policy, in contrast to the rabid Russophobes of the Tribals and Kurws

[Kronos]

Normal international practice is negotiation. Moreover, the time is by no means working for Russia, the Kremlin is well aware of this and is trying to turn the tide of events, but the forces are not comparable and there are practically no allies in this confrontation, so some momentary companions, unlike NATO.

[Shiden]

Normal and most importantly in a sound commentary. If there were more such comments, maybe the veterans of the site would have pulled themselves up. And so it’s not an article in the comments of a continuous KVN, neither analysis nor disputes, only distillation in a verbal sparkling joke. always ends with the same sentence vigorous loaf and that's it.

[Zaurbek]

And NATO is probably not happy with:
- Poland
- Tribaltika

[Rybkin]

Euroshawks show their teeth to the overseas pit bull for his attempts to mend relations with the bear!

[Normann]

The dog barks - the caravan goes.

I directly see rage to liquid diarrhea; successful men, as a rule, do not take into account the opinions of worthless hysterics.

I can even name these "European allies" (by name! ) ...
