Rasmussen proposed creating a "democratic NATO" to counter the US and China.

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen is angry with the United States. He calls for the creation of a "democratic NATO."

According to Rasmussen, this association could be called D7 and could confront the United States of America “if necessary.”

Former Secretary General of the North Atlantic military bloc:

Since childhood, I've admired the United States and considered it the natural-born leader of the free world. But it appears President Trump has stepped down from that position. Therefore, we need a new leader of the free world.

According to Rasmussen, the D7 could include the EU, Britain, Canada, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand:

If we act together, we are a formidable force.

And who can become the leader of the free mirka peace - Macron, Starmer?

According to the proposal by the politician who served as Danish Prime Minister from 2001 to 2009 and NATO Secretary General from 2009 to 2014, an economic attack on one member of the alliance would be considered an attack on all. In other words, Rasmussen's proposal is essentially an economic NATO. The initiator adds that this way "the free world can resist economic pressure from China." However, Rasmussen did not specify what exactly this pressure from China would entail.

Rasmussen:

We need to jointly develop technological standards, reduce dependence on critical raw materials, and increase investment in the Global South as an alternative to Chinese influence. The Trump administration's unpredictability is also a major asset for our partnership with the United States.

The former Danish Prime Minister recalled Greenland and Washington's threats to seize it. According to Rasmussen, such threats from allies are unacceptable.

      ...Donya is probably in shock after such a statement. He was always peddling democracy and NATO as a tool for bringing it about—and then some FORMER figure verbally ruined it all... laughing

      Don needs to think urgently about how to keep the exes in line—sign some law or something. Otherwise, they've completely lost their minds—the moment they retire, they're all just starting to talk trash. laughing

        "Democratic NATO"...
        Ah, I'm embarrassed to ask - is NATO "totalitarian" now?
        And yes, the only thing missing from a "democratic NATO" is a leader... The choice shouldn't be between Macron and Starmer, but rather the Baltics. At the very least, Poland. There are plenty of "real wild ones" there, plenty of leaders...

        Europe has long been in need of a qualified team of psychiatrists...

    A "democratic NATO" can only be created from wind turbines and Don Quixotes.

    And doesn't trashy Europe, for the sake of an experiment and a joke, want to live in peace for at least another 20-50 years and not show itself in the spotlight?

      Europe can't live like this; it was created for war. Here are the longest wars Europe has fought:

      The Great Northern War - 21 years
      Thirty Years' War - 30 years
      War of the Roses - 33 years
      Hundred Years' War - 116 years

        I didn’t look it up specifically, but off the top of my head, the period when the Soviet Army was in Europe was the longest period of peace in Europe.

          Without a doubt, but Europe didn’t like it; after the end of the Great Patriotic War, it was so desperate to start a war.

    "The Russian Ministry of Defense's statement should be taken literally: the list of European companies producing drones and other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces. Whether the strikes become a reality depends on what happens next. Sleep soundly, European partners!" Medvedev wrote in X.

    Well, they'll finally strike. Or won't they?

    Until it reaches the Urals.

    According to Rasmussen, the EU, Britain, Canada, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand could join:

        So here are the new leaders of the "new NATO," if we consider the point of view that someone will have to be blamed later. Of those this figure listed, how is New Zealand not a figurehead?
        The principle is the same as in today's NATO. A figurehead chairman is a talking head, and the Americans are in charge. And here, the head of this ridiculous new entity is some feathered Papuan from New Caledonia, and the "real" Europeans will take turns in command.

    Since childhood, I have admired the United States and considered it the natural-born leader of the free world.

    Rasmussen studied history poorly at school.
    Since childhood, I understood that the "daughter" born from "mother" Britain brings to the world not freedom, but pain, death and slavery.

    Is Russia already off the "confrontation" list, or was this topic from Mr. Rasmussen's article cut out?

    EU, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand
    ------------
    A bunch of cuckolds) Occupied Europe without armies, Britain without a navy, Australia with submarines stretched to their very nostrils, for which they paid and will never receive, and again occupied Japan)))
    China won't even go to war—it'll shut down trade with you for a month. You'll literally be left without pants—even your pants are Chinese... Like, for example, "Swiss" knives, assembled by TWO workers in Switzerland from Chinese blanks. Yep, those same Lethermans, there was a program about them on Euronews back in 2014. A staff of four, a director, two workers, and a driver.) The blanks are Chinese, they assemble them, slap on a "Made in Switzerland" label, and that's it.

    No, there is a more appropriate name for this union: the 4th Reich.
