Please join the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and CSIS’s Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 1pm for a conversation on the launch of a joint report: Is NATO Ready for War? An Assessment of NATO’s Efforts to Strengthen Defense and Deterrence since the Madrid Summit. The conversation will be between Max Bergmann, Director of the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and Stuart Center, Dr. Cynthia Cook, Senior Fellow with the CSIS International Security Program and Director of the Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group, Dr. John R. Deni, Research Professor of Security Studies at the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute, and Sean Monaghan, a Visiting Fellow with the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program.
In 2022, NATO adopted a new strategy following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. To implement it, allies committed to strengthen their deterrence and defense. Two years on, the alliance has made substantial progress on defense spending, forward defense, high-readiness forces, command and control, collective defense exercises, and integrating Finland and Sweden. All this means NATO is likely ready to “fight tonight.” However, to fight - and thereby deter - a protracted war, allies still need to spend more, boost industrial capacity, address critical capability gaps and bolster national resilience.
Allied leaders will gather in Washington in four weeks for NATO’s 75th anniversary summit. Ahead of that historic meeting, this paper takes stock of the progress allies have made to strengthen their deterrence and defense since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This event is the second in a series in the lead up of the NATO Summit in Washington, happening in July of 2024. This event is online-only.
This event is made possible through generous support to CSIS.

Has NATO ever fought a war?

Technically, Article 5 of NATO ("an attack on one is an attack on all") was invoked after 9/11 so that's why most NATO countries were in Afghanistan. This was the only time in history that Article 5 was invoked.

@brianjones6500 15 дней назад

Mostly NATO is used as a collective band-aid so one country doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting. Kosovo for example was partitioned into NATO sectors where capable participants would secure areas [USA to the south in the more contested Pristina area]. Normally fighting a "war" isn't a good Idea for "NATO". That's done by the Americans and Brits and NATO fills in gaps so the stronger forces can refocus. Personally I would not want to fight a war using some kind of cobbled together NATO force(s)...I'd argue it would end in disaster. Basically everyone fights differently but the UK and USA fight very much in a similar way.

@@CantonBn To be honest, the US civil war was about: - preserving and expending slavery for the confederacy (as all the evidence demonstrate, their secession was all about slavery) - preserving the union for the union It only became a war to end slavery during the war. Doesn't change the overall point though. In an imperfect world, wars can't always be avoided and protect/bring a necessary change for the better like the end of slavery or put and end to the holocaust.

It seems that conclusively the answer, despite being officially answered in the affirmative, is a resounding no. This is worrisome. "Yes we are ready for a war but not a protracted war". Well surely that's the kind of war we should be prepared for.

Govt forgot that they are serving us, the ppl not serving them selves for their interests and business etc. They failed so they should be replaced for someone who can do better and wont drag us into war. Because if they will, its gonna be ugly. And war should be last resort, as u can see in UA. They simply failed. They are talking about war, war and war, war again but not a single word about peace.

Ukrainian people got rid of Kremlin's puppet president Viktor Yanukovych when he refused the to join EU because Ruzzia told him not to. 22 February, 2014, Ukraine's parliament voted to remove him from his position. Fact: Euromaiden So many Ukrainians wanted EU that there were massive protests. Then with their puppet gone back to Ruzzia, they sent military into Ukraine. NATO did not start the war.

So, most members of NATO are now spending 2% of GDP, the minimum amount of their contribution agreed upon, but never paid, even after President Trump publicly embarrassed them for their delinquency. I have no doubt that substantial arrears remain unpaid. Something tells me that NATO members in Europe have been freeloading their defence needs for too long. In my view, if they cannot collectively pay their dues, how can you expect them to co-ordinate a serious military campaign between 32 different countries speaking different languages? And then you have Ukraine. They say Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, but the pole position in the World League has to be America. Nothing but warmongers.

The use of the term "superpower" to describe nations has been prevalent for 79 years since the advent of the Atomic Age, yet NATO seems to have forgotten this historical context? Instead of fixating on archaic instincts, we should focus our efforts towards finding legitimate ways to benefit our modern economy. As our economy is inherently competitive and requires both separate and shared efforts, it necessitates more thinking and analysis. We need to work together and think critically in order to improve our economic standing and advance our society as a whole.

Interesting presentation. Based on this CSIS report It would be a HIGH stakes gamble to risk a war with Russia. There is also a fact a few NATO nations have stated they do not want to go to Russia. NATO's article 5. will be a first casualty of a war with Russia. I doubt if for example Poland make a mess and trigger a war, few will come to their rescue. If there will be a full nuclear war, the casualties would be in the billions. NATO must mull starting negotiating and end of this conflict. In my opinion too many have died already. It will take decades to figure out how many. The number of missing Ukrainian soldiers are in estimate 25 times higher than the KIA numbers. Peace please!

Sweden became neutral after losing the Great Northern War (1700-1721) to Russia. The war was initiated by Sweden, under the rule of King Charles XII, who intended to weaken Russia and expand Swedish influence in the region. As a result of the war, territories including Finland and the modern Baltic states, which were under Swedish control, became part of the Russian Empire under the Treaty of Nystad in 1721. Since then, Sweden has largely maintained a policy of neutrality, respected by the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and modern Russia. In recent times, Sweden has been governed by liberal parties, which some perceive as serving globalist interests rather than prioritizing the people’s will. A similar situation is observed in Finland. Early 18th Century Population Estimates: 1. Russia: 13-15 million 2. Sweden (including Finland): 2-3 million 3. France: 19-21 million 4. German States (combined): 12-14 million 5. Poland-Lithuania (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth): 6-8 million 6. Ottoman Empire: 24-32 million These estimates provide a snapshot of the population sizes of these regions around the time of the Great Northern War (1700-1721). In the next 100 years, Russia defeated all of these powers. Today, Russia has the capability to annihilate all of Europe at once. Only the USA is in the same league as Russia. However, the USA lacks the experience of fighting wars against stronger opponents or existential wars. Russia has emerged from wars against stronger enemies, defeating all of them.

Its literally about going to the right people, if you want to build a production line, you need control gear, what your producing may require science, foam for example... and lastly you need engineers to design it and labourers to build it. Anyone can do it, its not hard, but the capital investment is huge and the defence contracts are held by hugely capable in invasive global organization with military level capabilities.

Why was the USA so successful during the Cold War? It implemented the Marshall Plan to economically strengthen its partners in Europe. The USA was the largest economy and opened its market to the products of its allies. The USA offered its allies a security umbrella with nuclear deterrence through NATO. As a result, America managed to push back the influence of the Soviet Union on Europe and ultimately win the Cold War. The alliance between Western Europe and the USA is proving difficult today. For example, Germany follows a mercantilist economic model and is therefore dependent on cheap energy and large growth markets. Russia and China can provide both of these for Western Europe like no other country. The USA, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly less important as an economic partner. And since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is no serious military threat from Russia to Western Europe. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of American soldiers are still stationed in hundreds of US military bases and US nuclear weapons are stationed on German soil. If you look at the situation objectively from the US perspective, America is protecting Europe from the countries with which it has close trade relations. Europe's core interest, however, is to further expand its economic relations with the USA's biggest competitors. Don't be blinded by the politicians' rhetoric. Feelings, shared history, values, culture and traditions play no role at all in whether alliances really work. What matters is whether the interests coincide. And it turns out that the interests of Europe and the USA can no longer be reconciled today and this partnership will soon end.

What ever you replace your stocks with, will not stand up to what ever next generation weapons russian factories start producing in peacetime. I think what people don't grasp is the blackhawk helicopter had double the lifting capacity of the apache gunship, now if you have played COD you know how effective helicopter support is... Do you understand the old era NATO thinking involved here, where they put their entire investment into support helicopters? while operating nuclear armed bombers 24/7 NATO hasn't been investing the desired amount... How you think matters, you need a diverse ability to think from different perspectives to understand the full picture. Something we dont really grasp when we look out into space.

What next generation weapons? T-14 or SU-57? Both failed prototypes... Ukraine is also using mostly the soviet weapons and those few provided by the west are far from next generation.

You call this a battle of artillery, i call it one of Ukrainian cowardice who had 5-1 10-1 odds in manpower and never pushed the advantage. But thats not the plan, plan is money, and you get money per hour, so the longer the war goes on the more enriched players get.

NATO 1 Billion people, with an overwhelming military strength to match.....Europe, except North America is Geographically a third the size of the Russian Federation. Russia is geographically the largest Nation on the planet, its population is 147 million with a limited military population. The military strength is very formidable particular with their thermonuclear deterrence capability. In fact, if it were not for the fact that Russia has a formidible Nuclear Triad capability NATO would have attempted to invade Russia two years ago. But, NO, NATO has been timid and shit scared to declare war on Russia....For the obvious reason that they have 6,000 nuclear WARHEADS. Enough said. Secondly, the Ukrainian War will not be a VICTORY for Ukraine....IMPOSSIBLE!! NO NATION or NATIONS will ever have a hope in hell to ever defeat the Russians in the Russian Steppes....NEVER!!! It is the lessons from Vietnam...the econometric matrix used by Pentagon whereby they had considered the US military victory was based on the body count....well over a million Vietnamese killed...and yet, the Americans and their ANZAC Allies STILL LOST the War....Like Vietnam, the Donbass and Crimea and the East of Ukraine are peopled by Russian speakers and culturally RUSSIAN PEOPLE. The human factor has been IGNORED entirely by the military and Politically hardwired Propagandists and like Vietname, Afghanistan, Iraq and all the US military loses in recent decades....IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE!!!! You can not defeat the PEOPLE who LIVE in these areas of conflict. They live there before the war, during the war and long after the end of the War....The Local Donbass and Crimean people are RUSSIANS!!!! Go figure!!!

In simulations as Russia, you don't need to expand, you have the largest economy, you just produce weapons. You produce so many weapons and manpower that you just walk over the entire map game after game. So this idea you expand into the Baltics, and link up with Kaliningrad is fine, but there is no reason to expand or start said war because the US, UK and Russia have been allies in WW1 and WW2... and haven't engaged in direct conflict like since. Plus, you only expand in war simulations is to stop you neighbours being a threat, because everyone builds up military capabilities in their grid squares to the point you can't move without excessive investment into explosives.

But in this pretext, that was the first focus of the Russian war effort and you see that in their failed offensive. They went to capture Kyiv without ammo, and now you look at Russian industry and even the economy because the defence sector has restarted all these old soviet era manufacturing sites that is causing the economy to bloom. The American notion of changing the Russian economy to a capitalist one was about the destruction of defence industry. The soviets could have switched and kept these plants operating but they didnt.

Therefore NATO is not prepared for war, because you can't fight a conflict with stockpiles and standing armies. The ability for NATO to train troops is pathetic, from what i am seeing you have a backlog of offensive troops trained in Marines and Air Assault tactics trying to main defensive positions after the failed Ukrainian offensive. The backlog of ineffective troops is so long you have Ukraine against arming civilians in their home cities and releasing prisoners. Its not a notion of is NATO ready for war, is really is NATO prepared for a neighbour who is a terrorist state, with a strong sense of national hood to the point they have killed one another for a decade over their political support. While at the same time a 100% global socialists state that needs everyone else to pay for literally everything. Thats really the issue here, is Ukraine has already attacked NATO countries. I speculate that captured a Russian S300 in Kherson with ground to ground (nonexport) variant and tried to stage a false flag. Lastly, US,UK, Russia were allies in both WW1 and WW2. Despite the politics of division that saw many President elected and the progression of both US and Soviet dominance. NATO is a defensive alliance, that will disband instantly at the sigh of its own aggression. NATO has publicly said they have been leeching off the US defensive industry. I think when push comes to shove, NATO will find themselves without the USA, and i would argue many more power players.
