Outgoing NATO Chief Reveals His Biggest Regret - It's Russia
Francois Lenoir/Reuters
While attending his last U.N. General Assembly since assuming the top NATO spot in 2009, the 61-year-old Rasmussen stated, "It's quite clear that, today, Russia doesn't consider us a partner, but an adversary. Obviously, we will have to adapt to that."
Rasmussen, who previously served as prime minister of Denmark, believes Putin has an obvious plan to "establish a zone of Russian influence in their neighborhood, covering the former Soviet space," USA Today reports.
Earlier this month NATO annouced the Readiness Action Plan, a detailed plan that "responds to Russia's aggressive behavior" while protecting the assets of NATO-member nations, the Associated Press reports. The program includes a rotation of several thousand troops equipped with naval and air support.
