US wants Europe to invest more in weapons
For decades, the US has wanted Europe to invest more in weapons to become the main attacker.
According to RIA Novosti on June 9, American analyst Max Bergman said in an interview with CBS (USA) that Washington has wanted Europe to invest more money in weapons to counter Russia for decades.
According to analyst Bergman, the conflict in Ukraine has made this plan possible.
“We see how defense spending in European countries is increasing, and now most member states spend more than 2% of GDP on defense. This is what we have wanted for the last 75 years: for European countries to become the main attackers,” said Bergman.
On the other hand, according to analysts, the possibility of former US President Donald Trump returning to the White House will put Europe, which is increasingly drawn into confrontation with Russia, in a difficult position.
“Chaos would ensue if the US were to withdraw completely,” said analyst Bergman.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin described the claims that Russia wanted to attack NATO as nonsense. Mr. Putin said that this was made by the West to "deceive" the people and maintain its dominant position.
US President Joe Biden has just visited France to attend the D-Day commemoration - the day the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy, northwestern France.
Reuters and AP both said that President Biden's visit to Europe this time is to emphasize his commitment to America's allies, seeking to show steadfast support for European security at a time when some allies are concerned that Donald Trump is threatening to cancel America's commitments if he returns to the White House in the presidential election in November this year./.
