Russia to NATO: Commit Suicide or Face War<\/h3>\n

Soeren Kern | Gatestone Institute<\/a> | January 6, 2022<\/p>\n

Russia has threatened war if the United States and its NATO allies fail to comply \u2014 unconditionally \u2014 with sweeping demands for a new security arrangement in Europe.<\/p>\n

The demands, issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry, require NATO to expel more than a dozen Central and Eastern European member states, the United States to remove its nuclear umbrella from Europe and allow Russia to reestablish its Soviet-era sphere of influence over Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

The Russian demands, which effectively require NATO to commit suicide, are so obviously outrageous and unmeetable that Western analysts are split over interpreting Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s motives. Some say he is using the impossible list of demands as a pretext to invade Ukraine. Others think he is playing a weak hand to try to divide the West and reorder Europe\u2019s security architecture in Russia\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

Nearly all Western analysts agree: Putin is taking advantage of the weakness of U.S. President Joe Biden, divisions between the United States and Europe, disagreements within the European Union, and the fecklessness of the leaders of Europe\u2019s largest countries, particularly France and Germany.<\/p>\n
