Retired NATO Generals: Defeat Is Inevitable Without Policy Reset
In the run-up to a major NATO summit, a host of former generals have issued a plea for those attending the summit to take a harder line with Russian aggression, lest the Alliance fall apart.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of an Alliance that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin describes as the “strongest and most successful in human history.” Its 32 members will meet in Washington in July for NATO’s 75th-Anniversary Summit. But what would ordinarily be an occasion for celebration, camaraderie, and good cheer has been muted by the collective appeal of a group of retired generals who have issued a dire warning of what may come unless the Alliance resets its policy regarding military and technical support to Ukraine.
