NATO was well-ahead of its time by dividing its command structure into two principal strategic commands, one operational & the other, @NATO_ACT, focused on future proofing the Alliance.

So that there is no ambiguity about the meeting, held under Chatham House rules, the following are my own reflections on actions that Canada could/should take as a founding member of @NATO:
(Beyond, you know, actually honouring our international commitment of investing 2%)
(Beyond, you know, actually honouring our international commitment of investing 2%)
In the current security environment, #NATO is adapting to a rapidly changing world. @NATO_ACT has the cornerstones to foresee NATO's strategic evolution & prepare the Alliance to be fit to fight tomorrow. These key topics are on the agenda for the #NATOMC visit.

#Polohy is a named objective / target for the #Melitopol offensive because 🇺🇦 holding Polohy or contesting it and denying 🇷🇺 use of its railway and roads would secure the eastern flank.

Das kann sich sehen lassen! Rekordbeschaffungen. Rekordaufwuchs. Rekordausgaben. 2022 war ein sehr gutes Jahr für die polnischen Streitkräfte. Machen statt reden. In Polen kann man sehen, wie man Zeitenwende richtig macht. #WeAreNATO #StrongerTogether💪
Natürlich ist auch in Polen nicht als Gold, was glänzt. Die vielen Panzertypen sind eine Herausforderung. Unklar ist, was bald mit den F-16 der Luftwaffe passieren wird. Und woher zukünftig das Personal für die größte NATO-Landstreitmacht in Europa kommen soll, wird schwierig.
Aber die wagen wenigstens etwas. Geben sich Ziele und investieren für ihre Verhältnisse auch sehr viel. Ausgaben des Modernisierungsprogramms der Streitkräfte aktuell 135 Milliarden Euro. Aktuell etwa 3 Prozent des BIP Verteidigungsausgaben, sollen steigen auf etwa 4,8 Prozent.

Most of the information used was found on various NATO websites and scouring MODs' official Twitter accounts for clues as to what kind of contribution countries made, so bear in mind that it probably does not fully represent the composition of the BGs
eFP was launched in 2016 to deploy 4 multinational battlegroups (battalion-strength) in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to defend and deter any attacks from Russia and Belarus and to ensure an attack on one would be an attack on all
Ukraine hat in vielen Auslandseinsätzen, auch zusammen mit d. Bundeswehr, ihre hohe militärische Professionalität bewiesen. Sie verteidigt sich u. unsere gemeinsamen Werte in einem verbrecherischen Angriffskrieg. Wir sind mit ihr solidarisch. Es ist Zeit für Ukraine in der #NATO.

@HawleyMO, your comments suggest that you are exceedingly naive about international affairs and national security. You also lack judgment, wisdom, and maturity. #WeAreNATO
You have, I presume, staked out this position because you like the attention. I imagine you're congratulating yourself for being such a free-thinking iconoclast.
But in reality, the reason all of your colleagues support expanding NATO is that it is *so obviously* in our interest.

Your position--not to put too fine a point on it--is idiotic.
If our military is stretched too thin in Asia, what does it suggest? It suggests we need more allies to bear the burden in Europe. More men, under arms, on our side, sharing the responsibility for Europe's defense.

Here at #NATOSummit, we as Allies agree that Russia is the most significant and direct threat to NATO.
As a result, the Allies decided a fundamental shift in NATO’s force posture resulting in further strengthening of NATO's eastern flank. 1/5

🇺🇦 is contesting Pravdyne with artillery - and this range map shows there is a lot of 🇺🇦-held territory from where to hit 🇷🇺 in and around Pravdyne.
🇺🇦 should hold long the line enough for the 🇺🇦artillery to hit 🇷🇺.

Germany has led the #eFP battlegroup in 🇱🇹 @BG_LTU_eFP for the past five years. In recent months, the mission has been reinforced several times. When the Russian war of aggression began, we deployed an additional 350 soldiers to 🇱🇹 – a sign of determination to our Allies. 3/8
Since russia invaded Ukraine, @NATO activated its response plan and increased its ready active forces on the eastern flank 8-fold. Check out the stats:
From 5,000 combat troops in February to 40,000 in April
150 warships on active patrol
How about the United States, since we’re at it?
It really is something to make such a sweeping claim, and leave out the one country built on a lasting legacy of genocidal conquest.
Not to mention this recent incident….

There has been some well deserved praise for Biden administration's handling of communication with allies following the call with Putin. But I lean towards "the glass is half empty" camp when it comes to grading the overall performance of the Biden team. #🧵 👉
2) Of course,emergency calls,intelligence sharing and Zoom meetings are all necessary part of the playbook. But this is all reaction to prior mistakes (outrage among allies) Biden's announcement of dialogue with "major NATO allies" was one such false move.

3) What is missing (still, despite numerous calls and friendly advice) is a structured, planned high-level dialogue that would prevent us and our U.S. ally from being taken by surprise, blindsided and left wondering what is really going on.
