The US ambassador to NATO accused Russia and China of trying to split the North Atlantic alliance

Recently, Western politicians have been regularly blaming Russia for all the possible and impossible troubles occurring both in their countries and in the world as a whole. Such populist statements have already become commonplace and few people pay attention to them. To raise the topic of "insidious" Moscow, and at the same time equally unloved in the United States of China, to a new level of claims was decided by the American ambassador to NATO, Julianne Smith. In an interview with the Financial Times, she accused the authorities of the Russian Federation and China of conspiring to nothing less than split the partners in the North Atlantic alliance.

According to the US ambassador to NATO, Moscow and Beijing are exchanging some strategies aimed at weakening the states that are members of the alliance. The diplomat urged Western capitals to intensify efforts to protect against Moscow and Beijing.

These two (Russia and China) are increasingly sharing a set of tools that should be of concern to NATO

- Smith said in an interview with the publication, pointing out, among other things, the threats associated with the supply of energy resources and cybersecurity.

The fact that NATO is actually at war with Russia in Ukraine, using the Kyiv regime, and the United States is trying with all its might to push mainland China and Taiwan, does not bother the American ambassador to the military bloc. In such a situation, it is not unusual for two states to become allies in the fight against the collective West in order to protect their interests as much as possible.

In early December, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that NATO, led by Washington, is trying to escalate tension in the South China Sea region, and this creates risks for Russia's security, so Moscow is developing military cooperation with Beijing.

Earlier, Politico columnist Lily Bayer expressed the opinion that NATO's policy towards China causes disagreement among the members of the alliance, which, on the one hand, seek to contain China, and on the other, do not intend to completely sever economic and political ties with Beijing. Some states of the alliance want to keep Russia in the focus of confrontation, while others want China. But maintaining economic ties with Moscow and Beijing is also in the interests of many countries. Here in Washington they begin to worry that such a dualism can lead to serious contradictions within NATO and even threatens to split.

And what you don’t like, you do it with everyone, and don’t bother. In this case, the main thing is that we feel better, not you.

They got the impression of general permissiveness and impunity for this.

And this despite the fact that she has not yet reached (intellect or ingenuity) to the accusations of China and Russia in the mass death of dinosaurs, pithecanthropes and Neanderthals, the global flood and the destruction of Atlantis. Apparently it's all ahead.

In general, the position of "ambassador to NATO" the main NATO country is some kind of oxymoron.

Like children, honestly!

. They are not normal and not smart! Why would Russia and China suddenly have to do something useful to their enemy ??? Where is the logic here?

[BorzRio]

It's fine... But the fact that the United States, NATO and their henchmen are trying to ruin Russia, to contain China - is that so, nothing at all?

And why not, everything is natural. There is an enemy, it must be weakened. Everything is correct.

It would be strange if we did not try to split a military bloc openly hostile to us...

Yeah, only arrogant Saxons have the right to the principle of "divide and rule" ...
Enough already, we have dominated, it's time to get down from Olympus to the ground

Anxiety? - maybe there is a desire to finally take your place and not climb all over the world with the imposition of your will ?!

Who would have explained to her how to use a mirror, otherwise "Russia and China"!
The main initiator of confusion and vacillation in NATO is the United States, with a stupid habit of sticking their hands into a meat grinder, and not their own!
IMHO

So, after all, there are 100500 states with NATO, which they are afraid of. Yes, and we seem to be for family values. We don’t respect a NATO woman with low social responsibility. I would sit quietly, so no, you need to talk every day.

The Anglo-Saxons are all the way engaged in pitting around the world. Boomerang has the ability to return. So be patient. Not on those Anglo-Saxons raised their hand. They almost managed to ruin us, but apparently God loves Russia and we managed to survive. You can't lose what you have. I have no doubt that we will overcome all obstacles. I am sure we were lucky with Putin, and so that they would not speak against him, I personally believed and believe in him. There are many traitors in his entourage, and I hope he will eliminate them too. Now more than ever, we need to unite and stand together on the side of our president. After all, the most powerful forces in the world are now against him, and we need to repel this. I am sure that in a maximum of 3-4 years we will begin to grow at an unprecedented pace and become the strongest and fairest country, and I am sure that the United States will begin to fall apart like the USSR in the very near future. In the USA they always say God bless America. But God will never protect those who oppress others, where debauchery, lies and all the bad things in the world come from them. America was great under the USSR. Everything was incredibly developed there thanks to the rivalry with our country. There was a leap and the people were just wonderful, just like ours. But as you all know, permissiveness inevitably spoils and corrupts people, and unfortunately they also failed to avoid it. They are definitely in for a split. And our (chekist) is really a literate and intelligent person with sly eyes. It will help them speed up the process. We need to be strong. It is unlikely that the world will love us. But they will reckon with us as cute. We will come to this and let our army and navy always be our friends. I hope I will see how my Russia flourishes, my native and beloved country with all its inhabitants. God bless us and good luck in everything.

So what? What's the problem? It’s really interesting what they will say in response? Like it’s impossible?

[Voronezh]

Is it megalomania or deb.i..l.iz..m? Or a mixture of both?

[Shkworen]

and it's not the first such statement, but as you know, a bad dancer... :)

[faiver]

Not far off, they themselves appointed us as enemies, you will receive an answer ....

The Financial Times accused the authorities of the Russian Federation and China of conspiring to cause nothing less than a split among partners in the North Atlantic alliance.

Is it forbidden under some international treaties or what?

[28st region]

How could they!!!!! It is the prerogative of NATO and the United States to personally split and arrange color revolutions.

[Everevil]

All such statements every day sound more pathetic and helpless, or something. As if "we are trying with all our might to destroy you - politically, economically and even physically - but you are still not being destroyed and for some reason you are cooperating in something. You have no conscience!" If I used to doubt the stupidity of the modern Western politicians, attributing all this to some kind of cunning, now I begin to believe that they are really retarded

[Arkady007]

From the point of view of Russia and China, this is gratitude from NATO.

[APASUS]

Washington's policy created problems for the EU, but China and Russia are to blame? A little more and in the EU you will ask for help from China

And that only they can make a split everywhere?

[al3x]

It is necessary in Russia at the legislative level to call NATO a bloc hostile to our state, since such a dance has begun, to include all the latest events in textbooks and educational programs on history, just as yesterday it was said about the genocide of the Soviet people. Still, it goes in a circle again and the jackals on the other side again all the same gathered, plus the newly joined ones also appeared in front of them.
