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.
Poopins coming right at us! better send all our money for healthcare, housing, and education to get set fire in a big pile on the steppe 🙄
We can fund both, dipshit.
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(0.3%). And it gets cheaper and more effective the more members it has. Collective defensive alliances are probably the most cost effective preventive measure a country can take.
If anything NATO has allowed for a much smaller a militarization of each member state.
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.
No really we can’t. X amount of money. If you try to do both then both are getting shorted. Something has to give.
We absolutely can fund both. What we can’t fund are billionaires and their tax evasions and inheritances.
Agreed. We printed money for billionaires we better start printing it for ourselves.
Just raise taxes, silly.
I think you have a couple of typos. Makes it hard to read
they’re actually intentional, it adds to the ambiance
