NATO called Russia the main threat because it stopped inventing enemies for the sake of confronting which the countries of the alliance could rally, said Dmitry Rogozin, general director of Roscosmos.
“Now, finally, Russia is called a direct, immediate, if not an enemy, then a threat, although in their language it means “enemy”. This allows them at this particular historical stage to once again actively urge this herd so that it unites and bleats very harmoniously”, Rogozin said on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
He noted that until the last moment, NATO designated Somali pirates, Afghan drug trafficking, “abstract international terrorism”, as well as Iranian and North Korean medium-range missiles as a “scarecrow”, the main threat.
“I would describe it this way: the wolves threw off the sheep skins and burned them, symbolically,” Rogozin added.
Earlier, NATO leaders approved at the summit in Madrid a new strategic concept for the alliance until 2030, in which Russia is recognized as the “most significant and direct threat” to security.
