MOST important event today & US media barely covers it. #NATO Secy-General @jensstoltenberg gave a major speech to Congress celebrating the 70th anniversary of an unprecedented period of peace & freedom maintained by the most successful alliance in history
@jensstoltenberg #NATO's Stoltenberg to Congress: "The strength of a nation is not only measured by the size of its economy…but also by the number of its friends…Thru NATO, US has more friends & allies than any other power. This has made US stronger, safer & more secure"
@jensstoltenberg Stoltenberg's historic speech celebrated #NATO founding & foundational one-for-all solemn promise 70yrs ago tomorrow. Reminding US Congress: NATO was founded to shield against aggression, fear of aggression & to stand up to Soviet Union crushing democracies. Russia's still at it!
@jensstoltenberg #NATO Stoltenberg's speech to a joint mtg of Congress was a rare & remarkable moment. Esp important to cover as Trump & Putin bash alliances, Americans can see we are in fact UNITED—Dems & GOP—in standing up to Russia's aggression, for collective security, peace, freedom. #NATO70
@jensstoltenberg Watch #NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg's A+ address to a joint meeting of Congress, celebrating NATO 70th anniversary. Security through a united alliance is as powerful a message today, in light of Russia's resurgent threat, as it was at NATO's founding after the 20th C wars.
@jensstoltenberg #NATO chief stresses unity in a pushback against Trump's worldview - @CNNPolitics cnn.com/2019/04/03/pol… #NATO70
NATO saved us & the world. No one should take it for granted or assume its demise. Rather we must find the fortitude to oppose yet another Kremlin regime that seems incapable of living at peace with its neighbors. @RadioFreeTom got me all choked up usatoday.com/story/opinion/… #NATO70
