Most EU countries, apart from Poland and other countries on the eastern flank, did nothing to arm their armies; This is the last moment for all EU and NATO countries to take responsibility for common security, said PiS MEP Beata Szydło.
Trump’s words about NATO and Russia
At a rally in South Carolina, Donald Trump, Joe Biden’s likely rival in November’s presidential election, threatened that if he becomes president of the United States again, he will not punish NATO countries that fail to meet their financial obligations to the Alliance will protect against potential Russian aggression. He reported a conversation with one of NATO’s heads of state, without mentioning his name:
A president of a major country asked me: Sir, if we don’t pay and we are attacked by Russia, will you protect us? I replied: No, I will not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them (Russia) to do whatever they want to you. You have to pay.
Responsibility for common security
Former Prime Minister and MEP Beata Szydło referred to Donald Trump’s statement in a message on Twitter/X.
Now everyone is talking about Donald Trump, who spoke in his typical style, while the head of NATO recently spoke very important words.
– she noted. As she added: Jens Stoltenberg pointed out that Russia will be a threat to NATO for years to come, and that the arms industry in European NATO countries is practically non-existent and needs to be recreated.
The problem is that heavy industry is needed to produce military equipment. Meanwhile, in practice, the European Commission aims to completely eradicate heavy industry in the EU. How should tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled guns, etc. be produced in the EU? Most European politicians don’t even try to answer this question
– emphasized the former Polish Prime Minister.
The MEP also pointed out that Russia’s war against Ukraine has been going on for two years now most EU countries, apart from Poland and other countries on the eastern flank, “have done nothing to ensure the arming of their armies and the development of the arms industry.”
This is the last moment when all EU and NATO countries can take their responsibility for common security
– emphasized Beata Szydło.
