NATO's READINESS FOR WAR - OR RATHER LACK THEREOF - IS EXPOSED. This content is for Subscribers Only.
Recent Internal/Confidential assessments by NATO and the European Union indicate that deploying significant numbers of troops and heavy equipment from western Europe to the alliance's eastern flank along borders with Russia or Belarus could take up to 45 days in the event of a major crisis or invasion.
This timeline accounts for logistical challenges like rail capacity, road infrastructure limitations, border crossings, and bureaucratic hurdles across member states.
Brussels and NATO are pushing reforms, including a new military mobility package, to cut this down to 5 days or even 3 days by streamlining permits, upgrading transport networks, and prepositioning supplies.
Regular folks in Europe and the United States should be surprised and shocked that NATO is not better prepared for an armed conflict with Russia. It was, after all, the reason NATO was created!
Infrastructure and logistics are absolutely crucial factors.
