A European NATO is an illusion – NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs and Subcommittee on Security and Defence (13.01.2025) Source: https://t.co/LXYGRGfx34 “And so, it is an illusion that you can build a European NATO over the next 10 or 15 years. And why would you? I mean the transatlantic relationship, I think, after the First World War, but particularly after the Second World War, has served us very well. So why would we disconnect from the US, I will be against it. But again, if you want this for ideological reasons, then you have to quadruple even more your defence spending, and then it will still take you 10 or 15 years.” #OSINT #R
