NATO Discovers Geographic Distance Still Exists, Years After Expansion
The Euractiv report, via RT, highlights NATO's alleged 'military mobility crisis' – bureaucratic hurdles and poor planning apparently slow down responses. This, from an alliance that's spent the last 30 years expanding its membership right up to Russia's borders, effectively rendering any 'response' time a self-inflicted strategic comedy. (Perhaps they should have consulted a map before pledging
to defend everyone.) One might wonder if these 'weeks' of response time are just long enough for the industrial-military complex to ramp up production and secure another few billion in 'emergency' funding. After all, a perpetual, slightly distant 'threat' is far more profitable than actual, rapid deterrence.
