Zbigniew Brzezinski despre relaţia NATO – Rusia şi noile sarcini ale Alianţei:

“The alliance also needs to define for itself a historically and geopolitically relevant long-term strategic goal for its relationship with the Russian Federation. Russia is not an enemy, but it still views NATO with hostility. That hostility is not likely to fade soon, especially if Prime Minister Vladimir Putin becomes president again in 2012. Moreover, for a while yet, Russia’s policy toward NATO — driven by historical resentment of the Soviet defeat in the Cold War and by nationalist hostility to NATO’s expansion — is likely to try to promote division between the United States and Europe and, within Europe, between NATO’s old members and NATO’s new members.” (text integral)
