Paris: French politician Florian Philippot has shed light on why Russia has been singled out as NATO’s principal foe by Western nations, attributing it to the perceived necessity for the USA and NATO.
In remarks to Izvestia on March 17, Philippot scrutinized the fiscal priorities of Western countries concerning NATO.
“We have huge debts, we have no money for hospitals, we have no money for our farmers, we have no money for pensions, we have no money for our public services, but we are happy to invest billions in NATO. We are crazy. NATO controls every country like a slave. Yet, as a union, NATO should have disappeared with the dissolution of the Soviet Union” he stated.

Philippot further observed that the North Atlantic Alliance has managed to persist because the United States perpetually identifies or fabricates threats.
The politician underscored that for Washington, “it’s easier” to fabricate justifications for its military expenditures, interventions in foreign territories, orchestrations of coups, and instigation of false revolutions.

“And they chose Russia as the enemy. I think by 2030, the enemies will be Russia and China. But France should not participate in this game,” Philippot concluded.
