NATO Should Always Work From Home

Alliance leaders are using virtual meetings to make quicker decisions. That’s exactly what Russia should fear.
NATO’s meeting of foreign ministers last week to discuss several security issues, including the coronavirus pandemic, may be most remembered for how it was held than what was settled. It was crisis decision-making done virtually. Foreign ministers remained hunkered down in their capitals and NATO ambassadors at the headquarters in Brussels kept separated at safe distances from one another, discussing the crisis, troops in Afghanistan, a Black Sea initiative, and more.
This is a major step for one simple reason: NATO needs to make quick decisions should Russia take aggressive military action again.
