Gentlemen, it hath come to our attention that Mr. Jens Stoltenberg, the former Secretary General of the NATO alliance, hath ventured a most intriguing observation regarding the geopolitical climate of our age. In a discourse with the TVP World chronicle, Mr. Stoltenberg posited that the current state of enmity between Europe and Russia cannot, by any law of reason or political gravity, persist in perpetuity.

While he conceded with a businessman's sobriety that relations are presently most deplorable—and may well remain so for a considerable duration—he maintained that there shall come a moment when it is entirely possible for these powers to become friends.

Furthermore, the former Secretary General dismissed as a fallacy the notion that Europeans and Russians are, by their very nature, predestined for discord. Such a view, he suggests, lacks the moderation and foresight required for true statesmanship. Indeed, the prosperity of our industry and the stability of our Fatherland depend upon a cold, calculated assessment of where the true state benefit lies.

It is also noted that Mr. Stoltenberg hath previously expressed a lack of certainty regarding the long-term endurance of the Alliance in its present form. One cannot help but observe that when the winds of diplomacy shift, only those who maintain a strong army and a robust national industry shall stand firm in the service of the Empire.
