Only these three steps will enable NATO to stand up to Putin
James Stavridis (Ret.), Julian Lindley-French
2.9. 2014, Huffington Post (USA)
“There will need to be a critical new ingredient in NATO's post-Wales strategic force posture: knowledge. For all the talk of military capability, NATO's critical war-fighting component is shared knowledge and the understanding of environments and practice it generates. Indeed, knowledge is the essential component of interoperability, be it at the directing political level of campaigns or at the military level of operations. Moreover, shared knowledge is also critical because it reinforces all-important trust between members, which is today sorely tried.“

Forget NATO, Russia's got bigger problems
Čtěte přílohu natoaktual.cz Summit NATO 2014 ve Walesu. |
Judi Dempsey
2.9. 2014, The Moscow Times
“But it is clear that so far Western sanctions and NATO's threats and rhetoric are no deterrence when it comes to thwarting Putin's ambitions. What could deter him is his own combustible southern flank and Islamic State, which Russia would be very unwise to ignore. It is these threats that are far, far more dangerous to Russia than NATO's limited intentions in Poland and the Baltic states. These threats are also more dangerous than the EU, whose openness has hugely profited Russian companies and ordinary Russian citizens. If Putin thinks NATO and the EU are his big threats, competitors and enemies, he hasn't seen anything yet.“

Harper isolated on NATO defence spending
Jeffrey Simpson
3.9. 2014, The Globe and Mail (Canada)
“Prime Minister Stephen Harper was heading into tomorrow’s NATO summit in Wales stubbornly isolated from other alliance members on defence spending targets until a last-minute change. The United States and Britain, along with a couple of smaller North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries, already spend at least 2 per cent of GDP on defence. They wanted other countries, including Canada (which is way down the NATO list for defence spending), to commit to lift spending to 2 per cent, knowing that it will not happen.“

NATO na Ukrajině zasáhnout nemůže
Radek Palata
2.9. 2014, E15 (ČR)
“Ke konfliktu na Ukrajině je proto třeba přistupovat maximálně realisticky. Pokud Ukrajina nemá vojenskou moc vzdorovat Rusku a pokud se Rusko rozhodne do konfliktu skutečně naplno vstoupit, musí Kyjev vyjít Moskvě něčím vstříc. Pokud to nepomůže, zbývá apel OSN. NATO je tu od toho, aby chránilo své členy, kteří pak mají automaticky větší možnosti přispívat k urovnání konfliktních situací nevojenskými prostředky. Mezi ty patří i sankční opatření. Kdo taková opatření odmítá, nepřímo volá po válce.“

Scrimping on NATO
Gary J. Schmitt
2.9. 2014, The New York Times (USA)
“As the summit meeting delegates gather this week and survey the security threats that Europe faces, they should reflect on how vital an institution NATO has been. It is too important to be allowed to fade into irrelevance merely for lack of this minimal level of funding.“

Pozvání Ukrajiny do NATO není na pořadu dne
Jiří Schneider
2.9. 2014, DVTV (ČR)
“Podle bezpečnostního analytika Jiřího Schneidera se jedná o tom, jestli Severoatlantická aliance poskytne Ukrajině technickou vojenskou pomoc. Pozvání země do NATO není podle něj teď pravděpodobné.“

Far from keeping the peace, Nato is a threat to it
Seumas Milne
3.9. 2014, The Guardian
“Nato likes to see itself as the international community. In reality it's an interventionist and expansionist military club of rich-world states and their satellites used to enforce western strategic and economic interests. As Ukraine shows, far from keeping the peace, Nato is a threat to it.“

“Nejedeme do Walesu s vágními sliby. Jsme si svého dílu odpovědnosti vědomi a na proměnu bezpečnostní situace reagujeme. Prodloužili jsme své působení při ochraně vzdušného prostoru Islandu na podzim 2014 na devět týdnů, nabídli jsme častější zapojení letounů L-159 do výcviku v Pobaltí i vyslání jednotky pozemní protivzdušné obrany. Naši piloti budou sdílet výcvik s Američany a Poláky, připravujeme pozemní cvičení se Slováky.“

Russia is a revisionist power; greater dangers lie ahead
Edward Lucas
2.9. 2014, Kyiv Post
“Russia is a revisionist power; It has the means to pursue its objectives; It is winning; and Greater dangers lie ahead. I recommend that the United Kingdom and its allies: Give up any hope of a return to business as usual; Boost the defence of the Baltic states and Poland; Expose Russian corruption in the West; Impose sweeping visa sanctions on the Russian elite; Help Ukraine; and Reboot the Atlantic Alliance.“
