Italian journalist Giampaolo Rossi asks why, amid a unifying global war against Daesh terrorism, NATO has decided to absorb tiny Montenegro; a move which is sure to provoke Moscow.
In his impassioned op-ed, published by Milan-based daily newspaper il Giornale and translated by foreign news portal WhatTheySayAboutUSA.com, Rossi asks why it is that the Western alliance’s top commanders have decided now, in the middle of the war against Daesh, is the best time to continue the alliance’s eastward expansion.
Recalling NATO’s decision, made earlier this month, to invite Montenegro to become the 29th member of the alliance, the journalist noted that Moscow’s inevitable response was to see the “invitation as a slight which confirms all their suspicions of the West’s expansionist agenda –including in the Balkans.”
“It would be interesting to know,” Rossi pondered, “why NATO has chosen this particular moment to provoke aggression with Moscow? Surely NATO’s top commanders don’t assess the NATO accession of a tiny Balkan nation as a greater priority than good relations with Moscow – whose support is vital in the struggle against the Islamic State, which President Obama himself has named a ‘common enemy’?”
