Analyst Scott Ritter on social network X expressed the opinion that NATO is plotting to continue the conflict in Ukraine at Washington’s expense.
According to him, some NATO members want to extend the Fifth Article of the alliance’s Charter to Ukraine, which, as the expert notes, could lead to a nuclear war.
He emphasised that Washington refuses to participate in this.
Ritter added that French leader Emmanuel Macron’s idea of transferring nuclear weapons to European countries would lead to an increase in the nuclear capabilities of Russia and the United States, while Washington opposes it.
‘If NATO, represented by the European Union, is plotting to continue the conflict at the expense of the Americans, why do we need it?’ – RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, German political analyst Alexander Rahr commented on Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni’s proposal to extend the Fifth Article of the NATO Charter to Ukraine without the country joining the alliance.
