NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Monday, the 4th of November, during a visit to the German capital where he met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, that Russia is carrying out hybrid attacks against other countries as part of its all-out war against Ukraine.
“Russia is carrying out … an intensified campaign of hybrid attacks in the territories of our allies, directly interfering in our democracies, sabotaging industry and committing acts of violence,” Rutte said.

Calling the deployment of North Korean troops by Moscow a “major escalation”, Rutte said China and Iran also supported Moscow, but added that the NATO alliance was cooperating with countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including South Korea and Japan.
That’s a different matter though. The above comment was about co-opting NATO if the US lost interest in it.
That doesn’t go against the EU working towards forming a joint military.
As long as NATO exists, the EU will never have a united army.
Tbh, I don’t really see how? What about NATO prevents it?
And what about the countries of Europe that are in NATO (or have expressed a desire to join) but not the EU?
