NATO has said it has 4,000 pages detailing how it would respond to a possible escalation with Moscow on the bloc’s eastern flank
Europe’s accelerated moves to deter conflict with Russia could end up provoking one, RT contributor Rachel Marsden has said.
Russian officials have repeatedly rejected claims that they have aggressive designs against the EU and NATO, saying that they are contrived by Western politicians to scare the population at home and justify growing military spending. Moscow has said a conflict with its European neighbors is only possible if Russia is attacked first.
Speaking to RT on Monday, Marsden said that Europe “is having one of those moments when everyone insists that they’re preparing for peace, which apparently involves a whole lot of paperwork about war.”
“European governments are increasing defense spending, rebuilding military capacity, and discussing what they might do if a confrontation with Russia widens,” she noted.
