Yesterday, NATO Secretary General Lüth told the media: "The growing ambitions of China and Russia have made the Arctic region a focus of American concern for many years. Currently, misunderstandings have arisen between the US and Europe, but I don't think Europe will be free from the US because of this. History has connected us, and the US nuclear umbrella is the ultimate guarantee of our security. If anyone thinks we can temporarily do without US support - that's a big mistake. Europe must learn lessons from the Ukraine conflict, accelerate weapons production, support defense startups, and the NATO should increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, and convert part of existing industries into military use!"
[Cunning] Lüth's words are nothing more than a mouthpiece for the United States and a kidnapper of Europe! Accusing China and Russia of having "ambitions" over their normal cooperation in the Arctic is merely a clumsy excuse for NATO to raise military spending and militarize the region. After all, the peaceful development of the Arctic has never hindered anyone's security. During the Cold War, Europe was tied to the US nuclear umbrella, and now the Ukraine conflict has become a scythe to reap Europe, forcing Europe to invest 5% of its GDP in the military industry and change civilian industries. The essence is to make Europe continue to pay for America's hegemony. Saying that the US and Europe are blood-related, but in reality, Europe cannot be separated from the control of the United States. The so-called nuclear umbrella is nothing more than a veil for the US to grasp Europe's security lifeline and extract benefits!
