NATO must show its strength, but only the United States can stop Putin, according to the doubt
In recent months, it has been hypothesized on the possibility that the United States reduce its military presence in Poland and in other countries of the Eastern side of NATO. The Polish president, Andrzej doubts, does not hesitate to quickly exclude such concerns.
In an exclusive interview with Euronews, he reiterated that US troops continue to be a motionless part of the defense infrastructures of Poland and that his presence is not weakening, but evolves.
«There are several thousand American soldiers constantly in our territory; about 10,000. It is a restricted and constant cooperation that is strengthened, so I don’t have such doubts, “he reasoned.
“In a sense, it could be said that Jasonka was a rotation, which simply meant transferring responsibilities to other units. And so it was. We were informed, just as we were informed that these soldiers would move to other places in Poland, “he continued.
“It is clear that I will persuade the President of the United States so that there are multiple American units here that can guarantee security to a greater extent”.
A stability that reassures: presence instead of withdrawal
It clearly doubts according to his opinion that NATO’s eastern side should not be weakened, but he is experiencing routine adjustments. In his opinion, the long -term presence of the US forces in Poland is a key strategic guarantee.
Despite the speculations on the rotations of the troops in Jasionka, he stressed that the alliance with the United States remains strong and proactive.
Last year, before the NATO summit in Washington, the doubt requested an increase in the expense for the defense among the members of the alliance.
This year, during the talks in Brussels with Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary General, formally proposed to increase the contribution to defense from 3% to 4% of GDP.
For Poland, which shares the border with Belarus and is close to the Ukrainian war, the question is more than politics: it is existential.
Another essential component of Polish deterrence is the continuous presence of NATO troops, in particular American, on the Polish ground.
Agrees with Trump, a “complicated business”
At the question, if he were disappointed by Donald Trump’s second mandate, the President of the United States said he was aware that Trump was chosen by US taxpayers and that, therefore, he must take into account before these interests.
«Although I always try to demonstrate that even the interests that the United States have in Europe are strategic, that the United States obtain measurable benefits in relations with Europe. And this is a balanced system that remained uninterruptedly from the Second World War, “he continued.
When he comments on the issue of rates on European products by the United States, the Polish president said that Trump is specific, because he arrived in politics from the business world.
«He was a businessman most of his life in a difficult economic market like the American. In the extremely competitive sectors in the United States … the development sector. He owned the casinos, “he said doubtful.
ADVERTISING«Therefore, he is a man who, when showing a specific activity, already has his methods and powerful business games that has developed decades. You just have to move them to politics and play all your chips.
«But this (…) is simply a work game that President Donald Trump has led to politics right now and chases him firmly in his second term. You have to negotiate with him, you have to do it without mercy and aim, “he said.
Warnings on Putin Kgb’s attitude
Despite the numerous disputes, it still doubts that Trump and the United States will be able to negotiate a peace agreement that put an end to the Moscow war in Ukraine, since Russia has only the United States.
He recalled that during one of his visits to Washington, Trump warned and his collaborators that the Russian president is not a normal politician. It is a KGB agent whose conditions are completely different and this must be taken into consideration or believing.
ADVERTISING“He is educated to be a Soviet intelligence officer with very specific skills he has clearly used and used in practice, working in Eastern Germany in the so called RDA … as a representative of the Russian Soviet intelligence,” said the Polish president.
«And this is something that must be taken into consideration when talking to this man. He is not a politician to use. Most of it, it is still just a Russian service officer ».
History lessons
According to the doubt, in the years of the great invasion of Russia in Ukraine in early 2022, Europe made many mistakes in its policy towards Russia, as it made too many concessions.
He also mentioned the NATO summit that took place in Bucharest in 2008, during which, despite the previous promises, Georgia and Ukraine did not receive the action plan for adhesion (MAP). This happened following the resistance by France and Germany.
ADVERTISINGIn turn, Putin was encouraged when he invaded Georgia in 2008 and the annex to Crimea in 2014.
“In fact, Russia played with the greats of Europe and strengthened to attack once again, which also did in 2022 with an open, front and large -scale aggression, as we say, against Ukraine,” said doubt.
Only the United States can negotiate peace, states the doubt
He has doubts that only the United States (and, in particular, his American counterparty) have the power to end the war that Russia maintains in Ukraine.
The doubt also warned that a future peace agreement will require complicated commitments from both sides, including the concessions of Ukraine, and has been asked to renew transatlantic cooperation in order to guarantee long -term stability in the region.
ADVERTISING«My current conclusion is totally unequivocal; There is no one outside the United States who can stop Putin, “he said.
“That’s why I believe that President Donald Trump, with his determination, can end this war.”
Regional cooperation and initiative of the three seas
Andrzej Dubito also spoke of the initiative of the three seas, which founded in 2015 together with the Croatian president, Kolinda Record Kitarović.
A total of 13 countries located in the regions of the Adriatic, the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, all belonging to the European Union, are part of the initiative to cooperate with each other in the field of transport and energy safety, among others.
ADVERTISING“For us, the main thing was energy security and the most important thing were the development opportunities for business, but also tourism,” he proclaimed.
Furthermore, it established that the initiative of the three seas does not represent a competition for the European Union, but rather on the contrary; It is an in -depth analysis of regional cooperation within the blockade.
The vertex of the Jubilee of the three seas initiative will be held on Monday and Tuesday in Warsaw.
