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 in a speech that was an impassioned defense of the 70-year-old alliance. “But NATO will always take the necessary steps to provide credible and effective deterrence.” “The strength of a nation is not only measured by the size of its economy or the number of its soldiers, but also by the number of its friends,” Stoltenberg added. “And through NATO the United States has more friends and allies than any other power. This has made the United States stronger, safer and more secure.”
