NATO General: Russia Cannot Achieve Military Success Against the Alliance.
General Alexus Grynkewich said NATO maintains a credible deterrent and Russia cannot achieve military success against the alliance. His remarks come amid discussions about the future of the U.S. military presence in Europe.
General Alexus Grynkewich said during a panel discussion at the ILA air show in Berlin that he is monitoring intelligence reports very closely.
According to the German newspaper Welt, U.S. forces that could potentially be withdrawn include a carrier strike group and all submarines capable of launching cruise missiles, as well as several P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft, and F-16 and F-15E fighter jets.
Washington has already announced plans to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany and cancel the deployment of a long-range artillery battalion that had been scheduled to arrive later this year.
Against this backdrop, discussions continue regarding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's calls for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
They understand the term defensive alliance and understand that we possess a number of asymmetric advantages, General Grynkewich said.
