NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg downplays threat of escalation from Moscow | DW News

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg is downplaying the threat of escalation from Moscow, after US President Joe Biden authorized Kyiv on Thursday to launch American weapons at military targets inside Russia. Senior Russian security official, Dmitry Medvedev, says the use of long-range weapons against Russia could become a reason to go to war with NATO.

Ukraine aren't part of NATO' allies. Why are you defending Ukraine?

[markfrost]

As a american who didn't know to much b4 the war 1 thing ukraine has taught me is they are strong people and deserve to defend themselves

[rgrrolfgruberrezensionen]

We must help the Ukraine! For whole Europe! For our future❤❤❤

[jajajaja]

[rudyhoffman]

One of the worst war mongers on the planet.

[owowhatsthis....]

Tells one side of a coin that only it exists..😅😂🥁☢️

[josecantu]

You're saying the truth but why you look so awkward😅

[ingykaas]

One question, does that reasoning also apply to other countries or is it specific for us?
I ask because nobody has condemned Israel for attacking Lebanon or Syria or the Iranian embassy. Here they pretended it was legal for Israel to attack those who gave weapons to Israels enemy.

[SalvoColli]

Logica non esattamente cartesiana direi...

[gioilcreatore]

No, you simply have to defend the countries in the Alliance. Thats why country enters this alliance.
We are draining our resources to help a losing side who cant win. They will not push Russia out.
NATO should focus on its own members providing efficient defense systems.

[bjodaddyo]

I didn't hear them say that Israel also has the right to defend itself. Kind of biased in my opinion

[iuliandragomir]

So if North Corea and China and Iran send weapons to Russia who are used against Ukraine they are eligible to be treathenned

[fredpotgieter]

Yes we also understand 50 million pool against russian.against smaller pool of 1 million men fight to last Male Ukraine except ones that run away or surrender

[fredpotgieter]

Also think all the people want to send money send son and daughter leave Ukraine getting dragged off the street

[dominicsylvester]

You something about lying you have to continue to lie everyday which is quiet difficult

[jimbobjimjim]

This viking raider is out of control....

[tlp]

I wonder how will you react in future conflicts when Russia openly takes a similar position against your enemies

[trevorjames]

NATO has no right to interfere and will, once again, pay the price with the loss of many lives. But who cares?

[andresdeks]

Russia also has a right to self defence so stop NATO from sorrounding Russia

[autobahnmedia]

So if Poland delivers the weapons to the Ukraine, and Russia attacks, will you defend Poland as well, or will you run away like you did during WWII???
