According to the parliamentarian, there is nothing new in this statement, except for the confirmation of all previous opinions and fears.
“There was no doubt that this is how they view us at the moment,” the deputy notes.
He added that China is also a big threat and competitor for the US.
“It’s about hitting the hat on everyone who sticks out, breaks ahead – such is the endless struggle of the West for hegemony.
This is what she is inspired by,” Zatulin said.
The interlocutor of RT believes that the announcement of Russia as the "main threat" will activate the forces of countries such as the United States and Great Britain in order to "demand complete loyalty from the allies."
“All dissidents within the Western bloc who do not want a confrontation with Russia will be forced to do so.
Whether they can withstand this pressure or not is another matter,” he concluded.
Earlier, the NATO summit in Madrid approved a new NATO Strategic Concept, in which Russia was called the most significant threat to the security of the organization.
According to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, it is NATO that poses a threat to Russia.
