Wesley Clark: “Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet empire. The West will stop him “

WASHINGTON – “Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet empire, and Western allies must prevent it. He intervenes violently in Kazakhstan both because he wants to keep a friendly regime on its feet and because he fears the internal repercussions that his fall would have in Russia”. This is the analysis of General Wesley Clark, NATO commander at the time of the intervention in Kosovo, the first war fought and won by the Atlantic Alliance in the heart of Europe.
