NATO increases its borders in order to attack the Russian Federation, and not to protect the Commonwealth countries, says Austrian politician Robert Marshall, leader of the Austrian party EU-Austrittspartei, which stands for the withdrawal of Austria from the European Union. About this Sputnik.

"NATO enlargement is very dangerous, because the only purpose of the Commonwealth is to attack the Russian Federation that has nothing to do with the tactics of protection. All this brings us to a new war in the European Union, " he said.

The EU is not an independent Union because it allows the presence of foreign military forces within the member countries of the European Union, added Marshall
