NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday said the military alliance is poised to increase the number of its high-readiness forces to well over 300,000 as part of what he described as “the biggest overhaul of collective defense and deterrence since the Cold War.”
His comments come as NATO leaders prepare to convene in Madrid, Spain this week to decide on the so-called Strategic Concept, the 30-member alliance’s most important document.
The text, which is updated roughly every decade, will reaffirm NATO’s values, provide a collective assessment of the security challenges and act as a guide to the group’s future political and military development.

Today’s NATO is a military arm of the deep state.
So it’s been decided. We’re going to war with another nuclear power over a country to which we owe nothing.
How stupid can we get?
WW1 redux anyone?
You are a war mongering idiot.
Let’s base them in Poland and Baltic States, I’m sure Putin will be more than happy to have them based on his border.
This is the military of the New World Order......we have no National Sovereignty, anymore in the USA.
Well said....(disregard you-know-who, as he will always comment negatively on common sense observations).
Donald Trump wanted NATO to pay for it as in the European countries paying their own way for defense.
Are the American taxpayers holding the bag on this?
“We’re going to war with another nuclear power”
No we aren’t going to war.
Peace thru Strength.
A famous President once said that.
This is about more than Russia China is going to be pushed more and more like Russia has been pushed and NATO has to be ready for China’s reaction to the poking and prodding.
I am not sure he’s being negative.
That image is Gavrilo Princip, the a^^^^^e who started WW1 by murdering the Archduke and his wife. I am not sure what he’s implying but maybe he is agreeing?
Doesn't sound like much of a threat.
Especially since many of the readiness drills will involve addressing combatants by their correct pronouns, making sure every soldier has a uniform that matches his or her or zer gender, and that there are enough prayer mats for the Muslim soldiers.
What in the world are these globalists up to?
If you believe Biden & NATO exude strength, you need to schedule a session with the local shrink.
Getting their slaves to fight for them.
"300,000 gays, lesbians, and trannies wanted for exciting new Woke military jobs. Great benefits (if you know what we mean -- *wink* *wink*)"
Yeah, right.
To me this looks like provocation after provocation. We’re poking the bear, TRYING to get him to attack us.
Stoltenberg said, noting that the military buildup would also require further investment from NATO members.
***************
Meaning, of course, an additional financial burden for the U.S.
Only 8 out of 30 NATO countries are meeting their 2% target for defense spending.
They say, we pay.
