Italian economist Nino Galloni issued the following statement: “After the mid-August meeting between Putin and Trump, it would not be enough for Trump to dissolve NATO because Europeans are unpredictable and unreliable and could keep it going with anti-Russian functions; therefore, the only solution would be to transform NATO into a Russian-American alliance; this would catch Europeans and Zelenskyy off guard. Otherwise, we will still be stuck with empty talk.”
