Aug. 5—In a speech Aug. 4 to a political youth summer camp in Norway, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg extolled the virtues of NATO, especially now with Russia’s military operation in Ukraine. “President Putin has attacked an entire innocent country and people, with military force, to achieve his political goals,” he claimed. “What he is really doing is challenging the world order we believe in where all countries, large and small, can choose their own path. He does not accept the sovereignty of other countries.” The war, Stoltenberg lied, “was triggered by his demand for Russian control over Ukraine.”
