With Russia continuing its unprovoked war in Ukraine and members of Congress at loggerheads over whether to provide additional military aid to the besieged nation, the head of NATO warned the United States that Russian victory in Ukraine will embolden other malign actors to threaten American interests.
Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary general, painted an ominous picture of “dangerous times” and global threats “seeking to undermine” opportunity and prosperity and trample global rules “that keep us safe,” speaking at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., Jan. 31.
While he called China “the most serious long-term challenge,” he said Russia is the “most immediate one.”
“Putin has brought war back to Europe on a scale not seen since the second World War,” he said, “and is developing new strategic weapons to threaten the United States and its allies.”
