This is how Biden is preparing NATO against an attack from Russia
US plans for a contingency plan in the event of a Russian attack on a NATO territory. The article by Giuseppe Gagliano
The United States on Friday put in place contingency planning for the possibility of a Russian attack on NATO territory.
The National Security Advisor of the White House, Jake Sullivan, said : "We are considering the possibility that Russia chooses to strike NATO territory and therefore the president has specified his absolute determination to respond decisively together with the other members of our alliance if Russia attacks NATO ”.
President Joe Biden said the potential Russian use of chemical weapons in Ukraine is "a real concern" that would meet with a response from the United States.
These statements are consistent with the claims made by Biden in Warsaw on March 26. Indeed Biden said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens to compromise global security and that democracies must prepare for a long struggle against autocracy.
“The West is now stronger, more united than it has ever been. We must prepare ourselves for the long struggle that awaits us ”.
Calling the fight against Vladimir Putin a "new battle for freedom," Biden said Putin's desire for "absolute power" was a strategic failure for Russia and a direct challenge to a European peace that has largely prevailed. from the second world war.
Biden said what is happening in Ukraine will change the history of the 21st century and it will be necessary to work together to ensure that this change is in our favor, in favor of Ukraine, in favor of the democratic world.
The historical reference made by the American president to the Polish resistance of Solidarity and the recent disappearance of Albright – secretary of state between 1997 and 2001 during the Clinton era – are significant. Because?
The Albright doctrine predicts the United States' willingness to use force in support of their strategic interests and values. In short, we are talking about the traditional American moral interventionism or the so-called humanitarian wars.
In fact, the former secretary of state was always a supporter of the United States as an indispensable nation, as evidenced by the fact that in relation to European strategic autonomy this had to fit into an architecture that was that of NATO, coming to synthesize his thinking in the famous tre D: no decoupling, no duplication, no discrimination.
It should not be forgotten that it was Albright not only who became a supporter of the eastern enlargement of the Atlantic Alliance, with the admission of the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary, on March 12, 1999, but that it was above all she who became the promoter of the NATO intervention in Kosovo.
Furthermore, the fact that President Biden has clearly expressed his will to liquidate Putin as the political leader of the Russian Federation – calling him from time to time a war criminal and a butcher – suggests that the United States, in synergy with NATO, will want to redefine them. I favor Eurasian balances.
