On December 10, Nikita Setov, Deputy General Director of the Polylog Group for GR, stated that while the scenario of U.S. withdrawal from NATO appears unlikely, public discussions about such a possibility indicate a transformation in Washington’s security approaches.
Setov noted that the new U.S. national security strategy no longer identifies Russia as a key threat but instead prioritizes migration control, border protection, and technological leadership.
“NATO is not a priority instrument of foreign policy,” Setov said. “Therefore, the alliance is a relic of the Cold War. Consequently, less attention needs to be paid to it and it is possible to express similar theses about getting out of it.”
He further added that such discussions demonstrate problems within the European Union, where the desire for confrontation has become the main foreign policy guideline.
Additionally, on December 9, American Congressman Thomas Massey introduced a bill proposing U.S. withdrawal from NATO. Massey argued that the alliance is a Cold War relic costing taxpayers trillions and increases risks of U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts due to its membership.
