Top NATO official Adm. Rob Bauer warned Thursday that a larger war with Russia and other adversaries is a real threat amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Bauer, chair of the Western security alliance’s Military Committee, said “not everything is going to be hunky dory in the next 20 years.”

“I’m not saying it is going wrong tomorrow, but we have to realize it’s not a given that we are in peace,” he said at a press conference in Brussels. “That’s why we have the plans, that’s why we are preparing for conflict with Russia and the terror groups if it comes to it.”

Bauer emphasized the security alliance is defensive and does not seek conflict or a wider war.

“But if they attack us, we have to be ready,” he added.

    Considering the poor state of all their military equipment, I wonder how many of their nukes are actually functional.

        I think a half of a half of a half of a half of half of that would probably do just fine too tbh

          Nah even 6k is not enough to kill the world anymore, you’d need to use them all to eradicate one country.

          Pathetic tbqh. Probably can’t even guarantee the destruction of every city with more than 100k people, why even bother?
