A few days ago, Sergei Lavrov, Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, stated at a TV talk show that NATO can hardly be called a “Defense League”, underlining the need not to forget the facts that NATO carried out air assaults on Yugoslavia for almost three months; violated the United Nations Security Council resolution and invaded Libya; and acted in Afghanistan in a way that cannot be forgotten.
He also said that NATO is seeking its self-comfort by phrasing itself as a “Defense League” but its “defense line” approached too closely to Russia.
It is a well-known fact that the United States is gradually escalating its military threat to Russia by deploying its missile defense systems in the areas of Eastern Europe and projecting the NATO military forces in the forward areas close to the Russian border, while continuously carrying on with the NATO’s eastward expansion in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The U.S. is recently proliferating the wild rumor of “invasion of Ukraine” by Russia and rushing to dispatch thousands of military forces into the areas of Eastern Europe. The real intention of these moves are to aggravate the military tension around Ukraine step by step and to find an excuse to justify its arms build-up designed for containing Russia by strength.
President Putin, at the press conference on February 1, shed light on the America’s ever increased military threat to Russia through NATO’s eastward expansion, unilateral scrapping of disarmament treaties etc., and made it clear that the main purpose of America is to contain the development of Russia.
It is a truth and a lesson learned from the history that the aggression tactics of the imperialists may change, but their true nature will never change.
NATO, a product of the Cold War, is apparently a military organization driven by aggression and domination, and the purpose of its continuing existence and expansion lies indisputably in militarily containing and suppressing Russia.
The more desperately the United States and NATO are clinging to the anti-Russia confrontation, being lost in an anachronistic delusion, the stronger counteraction they will invite from Russia as it is determined to fight for defending its security and interests.
