U.S. House Lures Georgia, Ukraine Into NATO
In the Wed. resolution, the House of the U.S. Congress urged Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO, Reuters reported.
In addition to those two former republics of the former Soviet Union, the House called on Albania, Croatia and Macedonia to move toward NATO membership.
According to Rep. John Tanner, the House signaled to those countries that the United States appreciates their efforts to join NATO and thinks they are moving in the right direction.
In this respect, the Munich speech of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is worth mentioning. Vexed by potential strengthening of NATO, Putin said its expansion has nothing to do with upgrading the alliance or with ensuring safety in Europe. To the contrary, it is a serious provocation that brings down the level of mutual trust.
