... we are so extraordinarily strong compared to our principal threat Russia.
... the question which is difficult to answer in public [because it is classified information]
... if we were to get into a war with Russia, how quickly could we get control of the air?
And again that ability to have control of the sea for NATO is phenomenal.
And then the land forces. ... no longer a NATO that thinks if Russia was to ... gain a piece of territory, how do we then fight to get that territory back?
It’s a NATO that sees the risk of territory being invaded and how quickly can it get its land forces in there to block any risk of aggression and territory being grabbed.
... I feel incredibly confident that that’s what NATO’s got and that’s how NATO can keep its citizens safe.
And it’s the overmatch that deters Russia. And I have never been clearer than any time in my career about the success that NATO is having in deterring Russia.
Russia does not want to fight with NATO and Russia does not want a nuclear war and we should be really confident of that.
