Russia did NOT "illegally annex Crimea" – the Crimeans had a referendum to rejoin Russia, and there was NO "nerve agent" attack in UK. That was completely contrived, and the supposed targeted victims of the "deadly nerve agent" survived. This is an unsophisticated disinformation campaign by Jens Stoltenberg.
Newspeak drivel…an 'ominous Russian buildup' along its own borders while NATO has merely 'tripled its "response force"' along Russia's borders…NATO forced Russia's hand in seizing Crimean naval bases to maintain its access to the Black Sea & Mediterranean…NATO supported a corrupt Neo-fascist takeover in the Ukraine, let alone Poland and Bulgaria and Romania — yeah, it's a coincidence Eastern Europe is going fascist.
This guys think the world is the same as 50 years ago, they insist on that outdated propaganda leading US to utter economical depravation.
Amazing how Trump says we will get along with Russia and China and then Pompeo, Bolton talks about expansionist threat of Russia etc . Seems like Trump is the only one in the USA white house who consistently speaks about wanting good relations with Russia and China. Does he never speak to Pompeo or Bolton and "say cut it out, your undermining me! " in the same manner Obama spoke to Putin. But he doesn't seem to do this as Pompeo, Bolton are still following their own cold war narrative uninterrupted.
These things about Russia are true. Whether expanded NATO is the answer is questionable?
Being assertive leads to war so piss off with your segregative narratives.
"sophisticated disinformation campaigns and attempts to interfere in democracy itself" .. you mean, like in the US, by the people who put Trump where he is today?
Very nice. A little bit yeasty
So now after being attacked by US/NATO forces in 1999, Serbia is surrounded by the Godfather's henchmen.
Stoltenberg is a shill, who is doing the bidding for the military industrial complex whose unbridled greed blinds it to the eventual outcome of such policies, which will be use of thousands of thermonuclear weapons vaporising not only their assess but also all the profit they made and will have made with yet more needless weapons. These people are psychopaths, and yet we let them rule us.
NATO is a Demonic Force that has gone – Globally- mad on war!!
No more war and destruction. Death to NATO!!
Welcome to WW3.
The ruling elite…political, financial, arms, pharma, agriculture, fossil fuels, conflict, not necessary in that order, are really pushing the limits with what they are willing to do and pulling out all the stops. It all feels as if we have all been lied to about everything are heading towards some final calamity.
NATO should only live in the history books and Cold War news reels.
The Russians moved to protect the Russian minorities in Crimea.. it was the United States that overthrew a democratically-elected government and INSTALLED a nazi-friendly regime… the speaker's comments are absolute garbage about Russia regarding Ukraine.
No offense to Norway – but Stoltenberg is certifiably nuts (he is an intelligent lunatic). (And theg guy from Denmark before him was the same of rabid war monger).
It's easy to hurl insults and threats against other nations, but where will these war-mongers find all the soldiers, sailors and airmen to fight their glorious wars against Russia and China? It seems to me that the young people of today…at least in the west.. have NO INTENTION of volunteering, or of being drafted, to fight in a major war, especially the kind of stupid and entirely unnecessary war that might be advocated by a fool like Jens Stoltenberg.
NATO should have been scrapped years ago.
"Russia's borders keep dangerously approaching NATO's massive war machine – so give us billions more money." Summed up the whole BS speech for you.
Just like with BIBI they have special SPRINGING CUSHIONS to help all these old crooked fossils bounce up and down. Is there a special lighted sign above Pence's square head? Or does the CUSHION activate by foot switch from the foot of JENS?
One very important point that's never mentioned in this discussion is the fact that these smaller countries that know exactly what threats Russia poses to them, specifically, and they work hard to join NATO as an alliance against Russian domination. These countries don't have huge protests against joining this alliance, quite the contrary. There is something extremely unsettling about the alignment of American progressives and the Russian government. I support more open communication with Russian citizens but the methods and strategies currently playing out diminish the voices of average progressives in the US and there should be a whole lot more learning about the actual culture and less exporting of stupid political bullshit either from or to Russia.
Haha military build up???? oh boy…compared to what?
What?That's a lkie, Crimea got a choice. This NATO guy is truly a shill for the USA/NATO dictatorship. Russia should feel they're being dumped on, by NATO and the US military/CIA, etc. What a sham, Russia is threatened by NATO not the reverse, but NATO needs to leave them alone, it's wrong since the USSR is GONE. Many a part of NATO the former satellites and why exactly is it all about. Russia hasn't been hostile to anyone. Fucking America has to play big swinging, dick, the biggest, but are such assholes. The US is all about the propaganda and exaggerations. NATO is the warmongerers, but Russia had to, a must do action for defense of itself. Putin is the sane one here. Neocons and NATO is pretty stupid, as they are creating this giant fantasy of an enemy in a nonexistent offensive country, which Russia is NOT this enemy. NATO has zero reason to build itself up.
Wolf Blizkrieg even lamented how business would suffer if peace broke out, seriouslY???
NATO are nothing but thugs for the United States
i understand tulsi gabbard stayed seated.
If we get nuked it won't be Russia. They will tell us it is Russia, but it won't be.
Stoltenberg is labour party. Course they like NATO and jobs. Fighting for the workers.
Nice NAZI accent! (NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg)
1984 again…… an enemy has to be fabricated
What a f**** joke NATO is, leave it to Washington DC to give a standing ovation to a paper tiger
Russia will not be threatened by the Amerikan Empire
Nuts
At
The
Office
And the bs continues
biggest whorehouse in the world..remember the 29 standing ovations for Netanyahu, soon to be in jail?..

Thanks The Real News Network
, hot stuff!
Can it be that Stoltenberg truly believes what he is saying?! I'm amazed and disgusted to hear myself answer that…he does! That's worse than if he was faking it because he's paid to promote NATO by the Global Deep State, the Shadow gov't that drives the SYSTEM.
NATO must be disbanded. It has no further use…if ever it did. NATO is the arm of US Imperialism in Europe.
I fear that it may take World War 3 to put an end to the designs of these Fascists.
Forgot Yugoslavia. Now North Macedonia is part of the country that NATO flattened and then broke into parts because their leader was trying to create new alliances outside of US and EU influence. He wasn't a saint but the real point of Clinton bombing them was this. A European country, bombed by NATO. People in the world seem to be forgetting this…
When the Dotard makes you laugh, i think he has the wrong job.
Always have to have an enemy , Just like Israel
For many years now, Russia has tried to downplay the threat from NATO as a means to signal to Europe that they didn't really need it and Europe been more and more unhappy about the role of NATO and the cost. It is really the US and UK that are pushing NATO and really fear Russia getting along with Europe. There are many new signals coming out from Germany like 2 big LNG ports and a new Mercedes plant in Moscow and Italy is not on board with Venezuela. After Brexit, Europe may find it desirable to emerge as a new super power and scrap NATO. Who knows…
