These 圧力s are 反映するd in stepped-up U.S. 軍の 作戦行動s in Europe, 含むing the unusual 同時の (軍隊などの)展開,配備 last week of two U.S. 航空機 運送/保菌者 strike groups in the Mediterranean Sea. At the same time, the ロシアのs are 動揺させるing 神経s with talk of fielding new "doomsday" 武器s such as a 核の-武装した undersea drone and making moves seen by some as 危険ing escalation of the war in eastern ウクライナ共和国.

In 儀式s in Germany on Thursday and in Belgium on Friday, 空気/公表する 軍隊 Gen. Tod Wolters will take over for Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti in the 二重の 役割s of 北大西洋条約機構's 最高の 連合した 指揮官 Europe and 長,率いる of U.S. European 命令(する). 事実上の/代理 弁護 長官 Patrick Shanahan had planned to …に出席する the 儀式s but 取り消すd just hours before his scheduled 出発 from Washington on Wednesday. A Shanahan 広報担当者 said he decided he should remain in Washington for 協議s with the White House and the 明言する/公表する Department on the 危機 in Venezuela and the 状況/情勢 on the U.S.-Mexican 国境.

Scaparrotti, who is retiring, spent his 任期's final months 取引,協定ing with U.S.-Turkey 緊張s 誘発する/引き起こすd by Turkey's 決定/判定勝ち(する) to buy a ロシアの S-400 空気/公表する 弁護 system. The U.S. and other 北大西洋条約機構 同盟(する)s see the 取引,協定 as 相いれない with Turkey's continued 参加 in the 米国防総省's F-35 stealth 闘士,戦闘機 program, and even its 未来 in 北大西洋条約機構. The two countries have been はっきりと at 半端物s over U.S. support for Kurdish 闘士,戦闘機s in Syria.

Wolters has made (疑いを)晴らす his 見解(をとる) that the fielding of a ロシアの 空気/公表する 弁護 system by a 北大西洋条約機構 同盟(する) is 容認できない.

"If Turkey proceeds 負かす/撃墜する a path to procure and operate the S-400, they should not get the F-35," he said at his 上院 確定/確認 審理,公聴会 on April 2. "I woul d 競う that we all understand that Turkey is an important 同盟(する) in the 地域, but it's 絶対 unsustainable to support co-場所 of the F-35 and the S-400."

Wolters, a 闘士,戦闘機 操縦する by training, had most recently served as 指揮官 of U.S. 空気/公表する 軍隊s in Europe and 長,率いる of 北大西洋条約機構's 連合した 空気/公表する 命令(する).

The U.S. 論争 with Turkey has the 可能性のある to 涙/ほころび the fabric of 北大西洋条約機構 まとまり, perhaps 達成するing a central 目的(とする) of Russia's 戦略 toward the West. A 米国防総省 報告(する)/憶測 to 議会 last 落ちる said Turkey's 購入(する) of the S-400 "would have 避けられない 消極的な consequences for U.S.-Turkey 二国間の/相互の relations, 同様に as Turkey's 役割 in 北大西洋条約機構." Turkey is の中で 北大西洋条約機構 member countries in which the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs 蓄える/店s 核の 武器s.

Some in Europe also worry that both Washington and Moscow 計画(する) to abandon a 冷淡な War-時代 条約 that had banned an entire class of 核の 武器s. The U.S. and 北大西洋条約機構 (刑事)被告 Russia of 侵害する/違反するing the 1987 中間の-範囲 核の 軍隊s 条約; Moscow 否定するs the 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金.

In 北大西洋条約機構's 70th 周年記念日 year, the 同盟 also 直面するs a problem that two former 外交官/大使s to 北大西洋条約機構 call 前例のない.

"北大西洋条約機構's 選び出す/独身 greatest challenge is the absence of strong, 原則d American 大統領の leadership for the first time in its history," Douglas Lute and Nicholas 燃やすs wrote in a 報告(する)/憶測 in February for Harvard University's Belfer 中心 for Science and International 事件/事情/状勢s.

"大統領 Donald Trump is regarded 広範囲にわたって in 北大西洋条約機構 資本/首都s as the 同盟's most 緊急の, and often most difficult, problem" because of his open ambivalence about the value of the 同盟, they wrote. Trump has (刑事)被告 重要な members, 含むing Germany, of 存在 freeloaders unwilling to 支払う/賃金 for their own 弁護.

In his final 外見 before 議会 to 現在の his 査定/評価 of 安全 問題/発行するs 直面するing 北大西洋条約機構 and European 命令(する), Scaparrotti in March said Russia was his main worry.

"Russia is a long-称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語, 戦略の competitor that wants to 前進する its own 客観的なs at the expense of U.S. 繁栄 and 安全 and that sees the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs and the 北大西洋条約機構 同盟 as the 主要な/長/主犯 thre at to its geopolitical ambitions," Scaparrotti said. "In 追跡 of its 客観的なs, Moscow 捜し出すs to 主張する its 影響(力) over nations along its periphery, 土台を崩す 北大西洋条約機構 団結, and fracture the 支配するs-based international order."

ウクライナ共和国 is at the 中心 of these 関心s.

Although ウクライナ共和国 is not a 北大西洋条約機構 member, it has a の近くに working 関係 with the 同盟. So Russia's 2014 seizure of Crimea from ウクライナ共和国 and its 軍の 介入 in eastern ウクライナ共和国 are a source of 関心 in much of Europe. Last week, ロシアの 大統領 Vladimir Putin 高くする,増すd those 関心s by 調印 a 法令 to 促進する 市民権 使用/適用s from some Ukrainians living in areas held by Russia-支援するd 分離主義者s. The European Union called Putin's move a 調印する that he ーするつもりであるs to その上の 動揺させる the country.

Philip Breedlove, who served as the 最高の,を越す 北大西洋条約機構 指揮官 from 2013 to 2016, said in an interview that Russia 提起する/ポーズをとるs a multidimensional 脅し, and that 事柄s only より悪くするd as the U.S. 狭くするd its 対話 with Moscow in 最近の years.

"We're moving away from each other, sadly," he said. "Part of that is just because we can't depoliticize the 問題/発行する of Russia in Washington, D.C." As a result, he 追加するd, relations have より悪くするd and 解答s have grown more distant. "We need to move 今後 on a conversation with Russia to have 会談 that might bring some fruit."
