WASHINGTON - The head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization warned the U.S. Congress on Wednesday of the threat posed by “a more assertive Russia,” including a massive military buildup, threats to sovereign states, the use of nerve agents and cyberattacks.
“NATO has no intention of deploying land-based nuclear missiles in Europe,” Stoltenberg said. “But NATO will always take the necessary steps to provide credible and effective deterrence.”Stoltenberg used his speech to give an impassioned defense of the 70-year-old Western alliance, a partnership he called “the most successful alliance in history,” which has often been derided by Trump since he took office in 2017.
