The United States continues its campaign to urge European countries to intensify their military activities and have asked them to act in favor of “A true peace. ”
“Europe must intensify its military activities and lead NATO,” said Pete Hegesh this Wednesday at the United States Army War College, located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. “The time in which the United States was the only guarantor of Europe’s security is over”he added.
According to this, the time when the United States was the main guarantor of European security “has been left behind.” “‘United States first’ does not mean ‘United States alone’. We hope our allies act in favor of a true peace. This approach will allow us to achieve peace through force,” criticized the Republican.
Despite this, Hegesh also congratulated those powers that have begun to increase their defense expenditure, as well as those that meet the economic and military objectives of the organization, as is the case of Poland.
“We have received commitments from Poland, one of our many exemplary allies, as well as the Baltic states, that they will spend 5% of their GDP in defense,” defended the US Secretary of Defense, who asked the rest of the allies to follow the steps of the Poles.
“Two percent is not enough, given the magnitude of the threats they face, as well as three or four percent. (…) We have managed to advance to increase the expense in defense,” said the American.
