Admiral Rob Bauer, the head of the NATO military committee, has warned that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization needs to prepare for the possibility of conflict and take further measures to enhance its defenses. He has stated that the military services of the North Atlantic Alliance are closely monitoring Russia's actions.
Bauer stressed that Russia will not stop its actions in Ukraine and that its ambitions extend beyond its borders. He has cited instances such as Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Transnistria, where Russia has pushed the foundations of a rules-based international order. He believes that this has unfortunately led NATO to a new era of collective defense.
Bauer has acknowledged that NATO has significantly strengthened itself since the Cold War, but has stated that the work is far from over. He has emphasized that NATO needs to be ready for the possibility of conflict at any moment and has been preparing for this new era for many years. NATO's military departments are carefully monitoring Russia's increasingly aggressive behavior, and together they have implemented the largest strengthening of collective defense since the Cold War.
Bauer believes that the world has changed significantly in the past year, but NATO is adapting to the changing circumstances. The determination and dedication of the 3.2mn men and women in uniform in NATO are unwavering, and the organization is doing what it does best: uniting, adapting, and defending.
