Think @NATO’s days are in the past? We need @NATO now more than ever—and we need it to #DoMore like designing a Digital Marshall Plan to bring secure 5G to NATO members 📶 [2/8] atlanticcouncil.org/content-series…

Introducing Olivia Seltzer (@thecramm), @RNicholasBurns remembers Sept 11, 2001 as then-US ambassador to NATO. "It was an emotional day, because Americans are not accustomed to being on the defensive… All of our NATO allies stood up that day and they supported us. #NATOEngages
"And that's why I support @NATO," says @RNicholasBurns, "because Americans shouldn't want to live alone in the world." #NATOEngages
"We're powerful," says @RNicholasBurns of the United States, "but we can't defeat climate change on our own… we can't arrest war on our own. We can't get much of anything done without Britain, without France, without Germany, without Greece… I'm grateful to @NATO." #NATOEngages
“We will never forget that when the United States was attacked our @NATO allies had our back.” Twenty-nine together are stronger than one alone, #NeverForget #StrongerWithAllies

In the future environment, large, slow formations and stationary units are targets waiting to be destroyed. "Mobility and speed will be the key to survival," @SecArmy says. #ACDefense 3/
