“This is some kind of agreement between Merkel and Trump. The United States has repeatedly demanded that Germany pay its debts for NATO. The United States was very unhappy that the countries of Europe contribute too little for membership in the alliance. At the same time, Merkel is not a stupid politician and she perfectly understands that Russia did not violate anything. Nevertheless, some agreements were reached between Germany and the USA. Donald Trump realized that he lost in the whole story with the INF Treaty and now needs informational support from Angela Merkel. While the chancellor needs US support in order not to pay impossible amounts for membership in NATO, ”he said.
According to the deputy, the situation with Nord Stream 2 is the continuation of a big policy on the groundless accusation of Russia.
“Accordingly, Merkel fell under the influence of US policy. And, despite the fact that she perfectly understands how things are, she has to adapt, because Germany is dependent on the United States in some matters, ”concluded Shkhagoshev.
Earlier, Merkel said that Russia “gave rise” to the end of the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate and Shorter-Range Missiles.
According to the Chancellor, in the end, part of the arms limitation system in Europe and around the world was lost.
