[rumit]

The strategy document experts close to the Kremlin, urged Russia to join NATO. As stated in an article published on the website weekly Der Spiegel, this "breakthrough appears to have gained the approval of President Medvedev, within the ruling elite is encountering strong resistance."

The newspaper reminds that the question of Russian membership in NATO is not up for the first time, for example, in March this year in an interview with Der Spiegel, former Defense Minister of Germany Volker Rouet insisted on the need to "open the door for Russia to NATO." Then the proposal, writes the author, Benjamin Bidder not found in Russia a great response. For example, Fyodor Lukyanov, a leading foreign policy expert, said he could not imagine how Moscow can obey the alliance, which dominated the United States.

At the same time Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel said: "Before invite Russian, would be nice to find out whether they want to join NATO. But now the Kremlin itself sends signals to the West, saying that Russia is interested in rapprochement and even in the introduction. In his unpublished documents of the Moscow Institute of Contemporary Development (INSOR) offers three possible involvement of Russia in NATO, according to the German edition.

This "institutional organizational integration into the alliance in the form of Russia's membership in NATO, a joint defense alliance between NATO and Russia, which could mark a new pact on security, or the creation of a unified coordination of the NATO Council and Russia."

This paper argues Bidder citing INSOR already on the table from Medvedev. Officially, the initiative could be announced at the end of the week on the world political forum in Yaroslavl, "of course, in the presence of heads of state."

But will the liberal wing of President Medvedev's victory in the dispute over the accession to NATO, is not obvious - the front of the Moscow hard-liners powerful and influential, "wrote Bidder, citing as proof the word well-known journalist and political analyst Maxim Shevchenko:" If Russia becomes part of the West, it disappears as Russia, as a historical subject. " The publication also cites Russia's ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin, who is sure that Russia's accession to NATO in his life did not take place: it would stymie many East European members of NATO.

Like I often say I'm not going to believe it until I see the source.

It was! I can say more, that Russia and NATO are irreconcilable enemies. But see what is going on. I think Russia is planing smth, as well as making confusion among global players.

it will beneficial for everyone in the region if Russia joins NATO.

 

[rumit]

Russia maintains its negative attitude to NATO enlargement, in particular, to plans for admission to the alliance in Ukraine and Georgia, as well as to bringing the NATO military infrastructure closer to Russian borders in general, which violates the principle of equal security, leads to the emergence of new dividing lines in Europe and is contrary to tasks of increasing the efficiency of joint work on finding answers to real challenges of our time

 

[rumit]

The appeal and preparation of public opinion to the possibility of Russia joining NATO and the assumption of conservation with Russia the status of a sovereign state - any evidence of professional incompetence, the authors of the report, Jurgens, either - the operation in the information war conducted by the forces that have embarked on a transformation of NATO global organization.

Although I’m not disregarding the news completely I have a hunch that this is poor journalism.

Several things that come to mind. Firstly, Russia and the politics of nato don't always coincide with each other; for instance, the Kosovo campaign didn't sit well with Russia, same with the Iraq war. If Russia would join nato Russia would get dragged into these conflicts, something it does not want.

And who does Russia need protection from, it certainly doesn't have any enemies outside of Georgia and perhaps Latvia.

Bro, I already began wit that kind of translation.

 

[somebozo]

Thats means restructuring of entire russian defence industry to NATO standards.

 

[Hafizzz]

So the West has finally defeated the USSR (including Russia) for good.

With Russia wanting to join NATO, the free world will suffer even more than before.

It used to be China, Russia and the rest of the non-white world standing up to Western Imperialism but that will no longer the case. It will China alone to face Western Bullying.
