IL CORRIERE DELLA COLLERA

LASCIO IN INGLESE IL TESTO INTRODUTTIVO DI UNA RICERCA EFFETTUATA TRA I GOVERNANTI E DIRIGENTI DEI PAESI DELLA NATO PUBBLICATA DALLA NEWSLETTER DELLA N.A.T.O. E I CUI RISULTATI PRINCIPALI HO CONDENSATO NEL TITOLO DEL POST.
SONO STATI INTERROGATI 59 GOVERNANTI DI PAESI NATO ( l’ELENCO È IN CALCE) TRA CUI UN SOLO ITALIANO ( il vice segretario minuto Rizzo). Non posso riprodurre il testo, troppo lungo, ma le cose essenziali ci sono: 44 vorrebbero la Grecia fuori dalla NATO, 22 non vogliono intervenire in Siria, 6 vorrebbero la Macedonia aderente alla NATO e UNO prevede che l’Italia esca dall’alleanza entro tre anni.
Il sondaggio è stato fatto a maggio da Jeoge Benitez e Margaret Slattery.
“Does the 63-year-old Alliance still matter today? In advance of the NATO summit in Chicago, The Atlantic Council and Foreign Policy asked politicians, scholars, and other observers from both sides of the Atlantic to weigh in.
Heads of state, ministers of defense and foreign affairs, intelligence officers, and current and former members of Congress were among the respondents who answered our call. While none of them thought NATO should cease to exist or that the United States would be better off leaving the Alliance, they were less certain about whether NATO can adapt to a changing geopolitical and military landscape — and just who will foot the bill for future operation.
They rated Greece, currently struggling to repay its crushing debt load, the top candidate to be kicked out of the Alliance, exhibited deep divides on how to handle a troubled relationship with Russia, predicted that NATO would be unable to pull off another Libya-style intervention three years from now, and overwhelmingly viewed the Afghan mission as a failure.
