NATO countries need to be on red alert for war and “expect the unexpected,” the chair of the alliance’s military committee of national chiefs Rob Bauer said Wednesday.
“In order to be fully effective, also in the future, we need a warfighting transformation of NATO,” said Bauer during a meeting of military chiefs in Brussels. “For this too, public-private cooperation will be the key.”
Bauer, a Dutch admiral, said allies need to “focus on effectiveness” and ramp up defense readiness with more exercises, industry partnerships and troops on high alert.
Ah yes if you want peace prepare for war, fucking romans said that biggest war machine on the planet.
As opposed to pulling a 1940 France and getting steamrolled in a couple months? No thanks.
I’m not interested in debating with catchy phrases. I’d rather be precise with my words. An invasion is unacceptable. Defence is another thing.
Not my phrases. Words…yes….thats all it is. I can be precise but whats the point.
Having myself trained in Muay Thai because I got mugged isn’t an escalation. It’s survival.
Letting yourself be obliterated in the name of hoping that the people who obliterate you cultivate peace is some of the most inane logic I’ve ever encountered. “I’ll let you dominate me, please don’t hurt me too much 🥺🙏.”
