NATO Military Committee Chairman Lieutenant Admiral Rob Bauer said rearmament is the alliance’s priority.
NATO is ready for a direct confrontation with Russia, because the strategic goals of the aggressor country go beyond the borders of Ukraine. This was announced on Saturday, January 28, by the head of the NATO military committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, for the Portuguese RTP.
He pointed out that Russia is trying to “return to the old Soviet Union” and has been reaching some countries with weapons for years. Therefore, “NATO must be ready.”
“Now we face the threat that is Russia. It comes to us without invitation at any time. So we must be alert. We don’t have time to prepare because they are already with them when they arrive,” Bauer said ..
He also mentioned that the industrial production of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance should be refocused in the military field. In order to carry out rearmament, in his opinion, it would be good to introduce a “military economy in peacetime.”
At the same time, Bauer made it clear that he does not believe in nuclear war, because Russian President Vladimir Putin is “not crazy.”
“I think Vladimir Putin is not crazy, and this is good news. He has ideas that do not meet our ideas. But he is not crazy. So, he is still a rational person,” the admiral said.
It should be noted that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky had a telephone conversation with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. The unblocking of the supply of new weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine was discussed.
Recall that earlier the NATO Secretary General announced that the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine from Western countries will increase in the near future.
