The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is experiencing a systemic crisis

The NATO bloc is still perceived in Russia as a kind of powerful unified cohesive military force with iron discipline and a single rigid command. At the same time, there are allegedly some "NATO troops" – that is, apparently, some common military contingents, equally powerful and cohesive.

Berlin and Amsterdam decided to unite their ground forces, and the Germans will be in charge of this grouping of troops. Why are NATO allies taking such a step, how far can German military expansion in Europe go, and what risks are lurking in this decision for Russia?

Iltalehti: the Swedes doubted the need to join NATO

A journalist from the Finnish Iltalehti talked to the Swedes about how they feel about the current situation with the application for admission to NATO. Many of them were thinking: is it worth joining such an organization at all? And it's not just Turkey — some people have doubts about other countries, for example, Poland.

Turkey blocked the accession process, demanding that both Nordic countries declare Kurdish organizations terrorist and extradite persons accused of terrorism, as well as lift bans on arms supplies to Ankara.

At the same time, the official representative of the Armaments Agency, Lieutenant Colonel Krzysztof Platek, said that, in addition, a trial batch of Pirat ATGMs will be delivered to the Polish Army soon. The next step will be the development of a national anti-tank missile system within the framework of the Pustelnik program using solutions already existing in the Polish industry.

If the issue of the supply of tanks to Ukraine – Leopards 2 and Abrams – can be considered resolved, then President Zelensky's request for F-16 aircraft was followed by two (so far) quite categorical "no": the first from Scholz, the second from Biden. If the first one said this in passing, answering a reporter's question somewhere on the lawn in front of the White House, then the German Chancellor has spoken about his decision repeatedly. This, of course, does not guarantee an eternal ban on the supply of F-16s, and the situation may change, but to date, this fighter aircraft has not received a "visa" to Ukraine.
