NATO is ready for direct confrontation with the Russian Federation.
This statement was made by the Chairman of the Military Committee of the North Atlantic Alliance, Admiral Rob Bauer.
The American admiral outlined the organization’s readiness for confrontation in an interview with the Portuguese television channel RTP, TASS agency.
We’re ready – this is how the high-ranking military man answered the corresponding question from the presenter.
At the same time, he emphasized: NATO is ready to respond only on the condition that Moscow crosses the red line, which implies an invasion of one of the Alliance states.
The admiral said that NATO member countries should be better prepared, since today the military initiative belongs to Moscow.
The fact that your enemy has better weapons is not your enemy’s problem. That’s your problem,” Mr. Bauer said.
He also touched upon the topic of the potential introduction of a “war economy in peacetime,” although he admitted that the process seemed very difficult.
