/ world today news/ Anders Fogh Rasmussen – former Secretary General of NATO, stated that the last three US presidential administrations are partly to blame for some of the current global conflicts.
On Tuesday, he made a sensational statement about why he believes recent administrations have laid the foundations for conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as ongoing fears of a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan. „Recent global events in the Taiwan Strait, in the Middle East, in Ukraine… are the result of waveringlie down on the American one government to implement a realo leaderthing”, Rasmussen told Politico’s National Security Daily newsletter.
Rasmussen led NATO for five years from 2009 to 2014 after more than seven years as prime minister of Denmark. According to the former head of the alliance, the Obama administration has begun to „gives way“ in the Middle East, and this trend has continued under the Trump and Biden administrations.
As for the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Rasmussen said Europe and the United States have acted too weakly, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin to go to war against Kiev, Politico reports.
“We continue to seesmethat… if the US does not exercise global leadership, the bad guys will take advantage of the situation. When America handleads, then the bad guys give way.“
Earlier this week, the Biden administration sought to show that it is stepping up on these conflicts. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that „The US is not turning around to their internal problems.“
“Pin the face of open aggression, we do not turn inward. Under the leadership of President Biden, we are mobilizing a global response to fight back“, Sullivan said before elaborating on US actions in Ukraine, the Red Sea, Israel and Gaza.
Rasmussen is an active supporter of Ukraine in its fight against Russia. Last year, he warned that former President Trump’s GOP nomination would be „geopolitical catastrophe“, as it may affect foreign policy, including the Russo-Ukrainian war. Trump’s nomination could undermine Republican support for continued U.S. aid to Ukraine, Rasmussen argued at the time.
On Wednesday, Politico reported that Rasmussen had been urging Democrats to strike a deal with Republicans to provide aid to Ukraine and other US allies.
„If the Democrats ask me what must yes ondo, my advice would be to accommodate the Republican views on the border issue and create a package with four elements: support for Ukraine, support for Israel, support for Taiwan, and solving the border issue”Rasmussen told Politico.
Several House Republicans have vowed to vote against further foreign aid unless it is paired with tougher border policies. Behind-the-scenes disputes have been going on for months, leading to the suspension of aid to the conflicting parties.
