In his today’s speech in the Think-Tank Chatham House, he warned that “no longer east or west” given the speed and power of Russian projectiles.
“Let’s not be fooled, we’re all on the east wing. There is no east, there is only NATO. The distance between European capital is just minutes,” he said, thinking of Russian projectiles.
He emphasized that the danger “will not disappear when the war in Ukraine is completed,” inviting the members of the Association to increase defensive consumption. He called the Member States to increase investment in an opposing and survival defense for 400 percent.
He agreed with the request of the former US President Donald Trump that each member country must set aside a minimum of five percent of GDP on defense.
Asked him who is the main threat
Rutte said that every NATO attack would have “devastating consequences.” “We’re deadly serious – if someone tries to attack us, the consequences will be devastating for him, whether it’s Russia or anyone else,” he said.
“This is not just about money and weapons, but also the mentality. We are aware that there is a lot of that on the cube. People who try to act against us have to understand that,” he added.
When asked if the main threat of NATO is Russia or China, “the main long-term threat is Russia. There is no doubt. It was never found to be attacked by anyone who wants to attack us. What you see in China is a huge accumulation of their army.”
Kremlin: NATO shows his real face
Given that Rutte would invoke NATO member states to increase the capacities of spurocketing and contradictory defense, the Kremlin also announced before Rutte held a speech.
Dmitry sand spokesman, the Dmitry Sand stated that the NATO is an “instrument of aggression and conflict”.
“NATO, after taking off the mask, in every possible way shows their right face of the aggression and conflict instrument,” the sandpiece told a regular briefing for journalists.
