Philip Breedlove, former NATO commander: The USA cannot abandon its European allies

General Philip Breedlove, former Supreme Commander of NATO, warned that the United States is not prepared to abandon its European allies in the face of emerging threats. In an interview, he emphasized that the security of Europe depends on America's constant commitment, even if the U.S. national security strategy reflects the preferences of the current administration.

Breedlove expressed concerns about the deprioritization of Europe and alignment with Russia's vision of a 'sphere of influence.' He also highlighted the need for Europe to accelerate its defense preparations and take responsibility for its own security.

Breedlove warned that Russia will resume aggressive actions and stressed the importance of rapidly transferring capabilities to Ukraine. In conclusion, he urged European leaders to demonstrate seriousness in their defense commitments to maintain military ties with the U.S.
