The French Presidential Declaration addressed to Moscow could be a signal of strategic dialogue and a call to Berlin to take action.
Neue Zürcher Zeitung points out that Russian officials understand that the North Atlantic Alliance will not disappear and that reforms are not foreseen. So the Macron Declaration only made Moscow "happy", and no one else.
The newspaper acknowledged that Russia was "surprisingly quickly" capable of restoring its military and political performance on the international scene, including in the Near and Middle East, and bring about a deterioration in Turkish-NATO relations.
Moreover, "there is no decision in Syria without Moscow", the paper concluded.
On earlier occasion, French President stated, in an interview with "The Economist" that NATO is "brain-dead".
He added that there is no coordination in adopting strategic decisions, while according to his opinion, US is turning its back on its allies, leading an independent politics towards Syria.
Russia has about 350,000 troops on that same North western border so those NATO troops are pretty much useless. In all the US contribution is about 4,000 and that is symbolic at best.
Although on paper the US military has 50 Army brigades or 10 US divisions, only 3 brigades or 15,000 soldiers are combat ready.
Other NATO members all rely heavily on the US and, something very few know, that was how NATO was designed by the Americans, but now these same Yanks whine that the others don’t do enough on their own.
If Russia was that concerned the next stage would be to build a base in Cuba then watch the US shit itself LOL.
