NATO marks 75th anniversary amid rising Russian threat | DW News
It's in the shadow of the war in Ukraine that NATO marks its 75th anniversary. The alliance, while bigger than ever, is facing the biggest challenges since its inception: war on its borders and lingering questions about its future after the upcoming US election. But today was a day to show unity: At a meeting in Brussels, NATO vowed to keep supporting Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion, promising membership… someday, somehow. Meanwhile, the Kremlin says its relations with NATO have reached the level of open confrontation and that there is zero communication between Moscow and the alliance.
For more on this, we talk to Jim Townsend. He spend decades working on European and NATO policy at the Pentagon and NATO itself. He's now an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and joins us tonight from Paris.
We also speak with our Correspondents Teri Schultz at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels and Miodrag Soric in Riga. Our Moscow bureau moved there after Russia banned DW from reporting in the country.
And we talk to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

There was ALSO a concern that even if the technical and monetary problems can be overcome, the tracking systems could be thrown off by simple tricks, such as dispersing shredded metal foils in their path - don't forget, the timing would be a split-second decision.

Get the Europeans to make catchup payments on their military spending for their own countries. Some weren't even reaching 1% !! Every single European country was just belittling the US for our military spending and calling us warmongers but they do enjoy leeching off the US. After they make catchup military spending for their own defense, the Europeans in the European Union should match the money the US allocates to Ukraine which should be somewhere around $75 billion last I remember. There's no reason why the EU, with a similar GDP as the US, should have sent less than half the amount says; they should be evenly matched 75 billion to 75 billion. Now Europeans are asking the US to continue financing the war when we want to spend our money on our society just like the Europeans did with their money that they should've used to match the defense spending of the US

@@jonathanjacob5453 Come on now, Russia cant use nukes on a NATO country without receiving nukes in retaliation. Everyone involved loses, big time. So there is no point in using them, by Russia or NATO. I dont really think eve Putin is crazy enough to essentially nuke his own country, because that is exactly what would happen if Russia nukes a NATO country.

NATO is not naïve (in this case no side is). Feeding a war is participating in it. It is tiring to stand it and to pay for it while a few people keep taking wrong decisions. This has to end.

Well, good things are coming from all of this, Norway will reach 2% GDP of spending this year, and by 2036 it should be at 3% GDP (announced today). And they are not alone in this heavy spending. So lets see, the weapon industry that is almost defunct in europe, is being rebuilt. Artillery/ammo and missile production is being ramped up across the european continent. And if we can get the 100Bn spening plan will work on some level, we can do this, even wihout a USA lead government who suck Putin eggplant. Before the dawn, the night is at it's darkest! Do not ever forget that when you stand in the middle of the long nigh, and no answer of when/if it ends, the darkness is all consuming, haunting, and the weak fall to dispair and willingness to sell out. Keep the torches lit, man the walls, and keep vanguard up. It is now, all the little things matter, in all things.

For the record, the current US government absolutely does not 'suck Putin's eggplant'. Its like.. 4-5 people in our congress who do, and one candidate who lost the last election and who is on trial for like a billion crimes. Most of the US government is totally onboard with slapping Putin down until the Russian people get their heads out of their *** and provide him a proper swan lake send-off. Just kinda sucks that the US government (like most governments) didn't really have a plan in place for 'absolutely insane people getting elected and roadblocking absolutely everything we're doing'. Give us a few more months, we're trying to deal with this, y'all went through your own nut-cases and had to get sorted out.

NATO is a very necessary set up to help protect against agression and war. In my country, I do many years ago remember a referendum to ask the public about joining NATO and because of the fear of the unknown I voted against being part of it, but this was merely because of not knowing enough and what it meant and I'm sure like myself many people in my country and other countries felt the same. I am in my 60s now and I follow any airing about NATO and now that my fears have been put to rest and my knowledge intensified my view is very favourable on NATO and its topics. As much as I feel article 5 is a barrier in many ways I am impressed it has held to standard. If there was another referendum again my vote would be yes I agree it would be good to join it
The 'Arsenal of Democracy' produces 40 percent of the world's weapons. It is a very profitable business model in which other countries buy these weapons to fight each other. The key is maximizing profits without shedding U$ bl00d by inducing conflicts between and within countries outside the U$A. One client is eager to spend AUD 368 billion to buy a few high-quality used nuclear-powered submarines. This business model's critical components are NATO, QUAD, ANZUS, Five Eyes, AUKUS, and MCC (Mutual Cross-Service Agreement).

Yep, the US makes most of the worlds weapons, because they are the only ones to achieve the technical skill, innovation and most importantly deadlines for delivery. Russia can't even deliver weapons it promised decades ago, that are technologically obsolete. Of course no one wants to buy those. People are willing to pay for results, and America bring them. If only Russia wasn't such a shlthole, maybe it would be better in the rankings.
It’s interesting to scan the posts and spot the Russian trolls. Eg there are obvious duplicate posts from the same playbook even though completely reworded.
