American strategy in Europe hindering a common relation between Europe and Russia and introducing permanent tension - by Jesús Torque
Security in Europe has been one of the main subjects discussed at NATO Summit in Bucharest this week. It is true that it has been an historic Summit, that important decisions have been taken and all the members were happy with the results. NATO has decided to accept Croatia and Albania as members, has left Ukraine, Georgia and Macedonia in the waiting list, has given its approval to the Anti-missile system that Americans want to integrate in Poland and Czech Republic, has increased the number of soldiers in Afghanistan and has welcomed Sarkozy’s very important announcement: that France will rejoin NATO military command, which quitted in 1966.
Many decisions taken and almost all of them happy. France and Germany, for instance, are satisfied because they have been able to stop by now the extension to Ukraine and Georgia. Paris and Berlin think that Russians are too angry already with all this to make them get angrier. But it is United States the one having most reasons to be happy since it gets almost all its aims. The American strategy consists on hindering a common relation between Europe and Russia, introducing a permanent tension between Brussels and Moscow, and it is achieving it due to the successive NATO extensions.
