Alarm NATO No 91

A $100 billion fund, democracy-proofed

NATO''s Secretary General is proposing to institutionalize military support for Ukraine over the very long term, "possibly decades", with a $100 billion cushion.

This is a way of guarding against any political change in a member country. Clearly, whatever the opinion and wishes of the people, future governments would be bound by anti-Russian policy: NATO is drawing up plans to make itself independent of national political authority.

Germany''s ''Green'' Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has already, unsurprisingly, expressed her enthusiasm: "It is essential that we transform ad hoc structures into reliable, long-term structures". Ours is ready to analyze the proposal. Belgian military support to Ukraine since the start of the war has reached one billion euros, she announced.
