According to “Russia Today,” the former American ambassador to Saudi Arabia, David Randel, published an essay in “Newsweek” magazine in which he issued a strong warning against NATO membership for Ukraine and any attempt to invade Crimea.
According to Randel, it is simple to comprehend Russia’s firm stance, which holds that extending NATO’s power to include Ukraine is an impenetrable red line.
He continued by saying that the main cause of this, given that Sevastopol’s military post was created 250 years ago, was the Crimea and the treacherous road leading there.
He emphasised that people who control Crimea also control the Black Sea, and that if Russia loses Crimea, the southern wing of the country will be in danger.
Randel acknowledged that NATO did not take the interests of Russian regional security and continued to accept the former Soviet Union countries in the alliance.
The greatest disastrous mistake of American strategy in the post-Cold War era, according to American diplomat George Keenan, would be the extension of NATO to the east.
