NATO is slowly no one takes seriously, a series of errors committed by the military in Libya by the Western Allies (see the weekend, claiming civilian casualties by bombing). Meanwhile, combine the military forces of Syria and Iran, Israel, therefore you start to feel too extreme danger. Some European countries, Greece is indeed a threat of social explosion. This recognizes Klaus Naumann, NATO's most important strategic advisory body, the Military Commission, recently resigned president of the former German chief of staff, yet the hvg.hu has an exclusive interview, but there is basically optimistic.
Zentai Peter: Sir, again over the weekend had a dramatic failure of the Western allies in Libya, two months after the third time bombed by mistake. Again, helpless, innocent children, women, old people were killed. Do you think that this whole problem of deer Libyan intervention?
Klaus Naumann: simply impossible to correctly carry out such a large operation. Unspeakable pangs of conscience we feel on such occasions, I know this because at the time of the NATO Chiefs of Defence as the first man I had to coordinate military operations in Kosovo, and certainly no small number of innocents killed there - our fault. But the spot really making sure that unless we can contribute from outside the system and the overthrow of Milosevic, the bloodshed has continued for years have been. The NATO intervention finally - yes, claiming innocent lives, despite misconceptions - ten thousand times more lives saved than are killed because of us. The South Slavic peoples of the region live in peace once again thanks to external intervention, Europe and the world in a rid tűzfészektől war, not least Milosevicstől. Libya is a case of errors, mistakes, despite the military and political objectives to be reached, both the Western and Muslim countries as a coalition.
I have to say is that the biggest failure of the military career, I feel that urge, despite the claims in Rwanda is not formed an international alliance of military action, so he could not stop for almost a million old people, woman, child destruction.
ZP: When you felt supported by the NATO intervention in Libya, home of the government of Germany is still not included in this action. To take note of this?
CN: I resented it that the Libyan government's campaign has stayed green light to the UN ballot. This is the worst foreign policy mistake in the history of West Germany I think. It was the impression in the world that we are no longer trusted members of the Western alliance system. This has weakened the global prestige of NATO.
ZP: I think NATO's prestige, already in ruins. It is no coincidence that what a bitter article in the journal that published several world will soon be retiring American Minister of Defense. Robert Gates considers it shameful that the North Atlantic Alliance, the European members simply do not want to spend money on defense, just waiting for America to victims. Also, how elbagatellizálják the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistani-Indian nuclear potential conflicts created by the challenges. He did not take seriously enough to have followed one another on critical IT systems against, they are partially paralyzed can attack the whole world wide web. Robert Gates agrees with pessimism?
CN: I think it is untenable that a number of NATO member states governments only to the profits they want lefölözni, but victims are not willing: expect trouble in the United States to protect them, but the economic and political reasons can not do almost nothing in common defense of enhancing a . One day, even in the near future, we really woke up to the members of the American legislation, "bemondják boring" and I megnyirbálják spending on the military, they are only and exclusively be adequate to protect the United States. Well, you see yourself in this world!
ZP: You can also view up to now, Iran, Syria, Pakistan and even China and Russia, the leaders are now rubbing their hands because they feel the end of Western military dominance, but only while it ensured the dominance of the past two decades, the world's peace. Now, however, fatally debilitated they see us. You are here, for instance the case of Syria. The regime there since I systematically murdering its own people, not even a sign not that the West would want to command a halt Asszadéknak. Libya is still gone, no longer in Syria?
K.N.: a moral sense, I agree with you. But the bombing of the Syrian army post, or any other kind of external military intervention in Syria, the Libyans compared incomparably more serious risks, assuming it would require. The Syrian military is one of the most feared throughout the Middle East, Syria, moreover, a growing number of Iranian troops are stationed as well. The result of an intervention is very likely would enter the war on Iran, Israel is the punch at the end of military conflict. Western intervention would also be triggered by a boomerang effect can the Arab peoples of the intervention is generally against them, or even more generally as an aggression against the Muslim world will be, put aside all claims of the democratic struggle and the realization is behind the Assam sorakoznának up. China and Russia are also supposed to evaluate the intervention as Western aggression. Simply follow each other in unpredictable dramas in Syria, the Arab world and ultimately around the world.
