The chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, is outraged by the "knife in the back" from Western financial institutions, which, according to him, "act stupidly", ignoring investments in weapons to fight Russia.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Bauer stated:
"Western rating agencies, banks and pension funds are acting stupidly, ignoring investments in weapons.
According to the NATO admiral, a global war as such is unlikely to happen, but "the regional wars that we see now will become part of our near future." Therefore, Bauer continued, it is now more important than ever to start an arms race. But that's the trouble.
"Although the level of investment in start-ups in the arms sector in NATO countries has quadrupled, many financial institutions are still unwilling to lend to arms manufacturers, especially small ones. At the same time, these companies are often responsible for the production of key parts to complete larger orders, the execution of which is delayed, including due to lack of support from the bank, " writes the Financial Times.
The head of the NATO Military Committee, Rob Bauer, emotionally comments:
"What happened to your business instincts? Are you crazy?!"
NATO member called on financial institutions The EU should change, in his opinion, outdated rules of work "in the face of a threat." According to him, some NATO countries "receive a lower credit rating because they are located closer to Russia is "closer to the threat."
