Jonathan Kearsley: Nato's strength depends on United States

from The Weekend Collective · host Newstalk ZB

Nato chief Mark Rutte warns Western allies to prepare for war with Russia.  He said that within the next five years, Nato countries will need to be prepared for a scale of war that hasn't been seen since our grandparents or great-grandparents.  Donald Trump is due to meet with Volodymyr Zelenskyy shortly regarding a peace deal.  And the U.S. is keeping very busy as they've also seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela this week.  The tanker went off course two days after its departure, listed to head for a Cuban port but rather off-loading part of its load to another ship before heading toward Asia.  It was seized shortly after this.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
