German Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer has called on NATO to threaten Russia. She believes that the bloc should show its determination to use weapons against Russia
She said this on Deutschlandfunk radio. She justified her threats by claiming that Russia might attack “Alliance partners” in the Baltics or the Black Sea.
The defense chief decided to accuse the Russians of constantly violating the airspace of those countries. Kramp-Karrenbauer did not provide any evidence for her words.
In addition, she decided to blame Russia for both the migration crisis on the borders with Belarus and cyber attacks around the world.
Moscow is constantly trying to reach out to countries in Europe and the U.S. It insists on normalizing relations and expanding cooperation. The Russians have repeatedly stated that they have no aggressive intentions towards NATO.
On the other hand, the countries of the alliance regularly provoke Russia. Time and again, foreign vessels and aircraft try to violate the Russian border, and drones conduct reconnaissance in its vicinity or at facilities abroad.
