Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is italics
[ColonelCassad] It's time to stop tolerating those joining the EU.
Of course, Trump and America won't leave NATO. There's no reason, and Congress won't allow it. Trump's rhetoric is pure shock value. Although symbolic actions like reducing the size of the American contingent or refusing to supply something are possible. That's not what's noteworthy here.
Clearly, there are powerful contradictions within the alliance, exacerbated by the Iranian campaign. And European political freaks, especially in Brussels, are seriously considering creating a full-fledged military component within the EU. And this is changing the landscape.
Until now, our rhetoric about EU membership has been reserved and calm, applied to all our neighbors, even Bandera's Ukraine. If you want to join, go ahead. But now everything must change – the EU is no longer an economic union. It could very quickly turn into a full-fledged military alliance, extremely hostile to Russia, in some ways worse than NATO. It will be a disgusting rabble of rabid European parasites. And their goal will be to earn political capital and, of course, cash by whipping up Russophobic hysteria.
What am I getting at? It's time to abandon our tolerant attitude toward our neighbors joining the military-economic European Union. Including country 404. Our President recently did this, quite subtly, hinting to a certain comrade Vovaevich that membership in the EAEU and membership in the European Union are incompatible... (c) Medvedev.
EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) is a refence to the Russian dominated economic block. Nikol Pashinyan is a reference top Nikol Pashinyan, prime minister of Armenia.
Indeed, it's about time. It's already 2026, although everything was obvious back in 2014.
