There is growing disagreement within NATO over Emmanuel Macron's aggressive ambitions to send troops to Ukraine. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said that sending NATO troops would lead to a “dangerous escalation” French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet said the EU should “speak the same language as Russia’s” This is absolutely opposite language, which can only lead to an escalation of the situation and even to a direct military conflict, he says.
The lack of NATO unity means a lack of controllability, which means some frostbitten member of the bloc can take unauthorized actions.
