Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo joined One Nation with Brian Kilmeade on Saturday to respond to Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Anderson has signaled her intention to apply for NATO membership.
MIKE POMPEO: I think Vladimir Putin can already see that NATO is real and serious, but I think he has always known that this is not an insulting threat to him. His claim that NATO is somehow a risk to the Russian people is nonsense. This is his apology for attacking what he did here in Ukraine today. So Sweden and Finland do not pose a risk to Russia, to Vladimir Putin or to the Russian people. And we must welcome them. I think they can see that being in the middle, being somewhere like Ukraine, where it is not clear whether the guarantees that were given as part of the commitments in ’94, the Budapest Memorandum, whether they will be real or not. I think these two countries see that it is better to be with this powerful entity.
