NATO Must Prepare for Potential Russia-China Two-Front Conflict, Says US Commander
Speaking at the LandEuro symposium in Wiesbaden, Germany, Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich emphasized the potential for simultaneous conflicts in Europe and the Pacific, possibly by 2027, requiring immediate preparation. He highlighted the need for increased weapons production across the 32-nation NATO alliance and closer military collaboration with industry. Grynkewich, also the NATO supreme allied commander, addressed ongoing efforts to increase support for Ukraine, particularly in air defense, and the importance of allies meeting defense spending pledges. Furthermore, he cautioned against viewing the threats posed by Russia and China as separate, stressing the need for a global approach to deterrence.
