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.
You can until you can’t. Part of the process of failing empires is overextending themselves.
The NATO budget is a minuscule, tiny fraction of each member’s GDP. And it gets cheaper the more members it has. Collective defensive alliances are probably the most cost effective preventive measure a country can take.
That said, America definitely is overdoing it with their individual military.
Right, I was specifically talking about the US, which is the failing empire.
That’s what our pupp- I mean, allied nations are for. It takes a village to raise a child, kind of thing.
