Ukraine War: 'Putin has made a big mistake' - NATO Secretary General

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says there's a "new sense" of urgency about Europe's defence and as long as the alliance stands together, "we are safe".

Speaking to reporters. he said Vladimir Putin has made a "big mistake" and has "underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian people".

December 2021: "Russia has the second most powerful military in the world!"
March 2022: "Russia has the second most powerful military in Ukraine."

What’s so breaking about this? He exactly said nothing more what already has been said. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[theraiderra]

He cannot tell about military operations on television... i though people were smart enough to understand that.

[KesselRunner]

I'd like to congratulate Vladimir Putin for making NATO stronger than it ever has been before, and for making Germany a military force again.

[TheModestAgnostic]

So Putin's strategy of "unifying and strengthening" is going gangbusters. For NATO.

Whatever NATO says publicly, the enemy gets to know too. Some people just don't get it. Some decisions and operations need to stay secret.

Invest in military defense means USA is winning economically.

I think Jens is doing a great job while staying level headed.

[peterwoods]

General Stoltenberg is very good at explaining complicated facts. A highly competent man.

[tonet]

Dont believe it, these types of statements are used when nothing else can be done

A cornered wild animal is dangerous, but nuclear power capable wild animal is race-ending dangerous.

The military industrial machine is extremely happy that's for sure.💥💥💥💥💥

God bless Ukraine and those fighting for its freedom.

The latest version of the Turkish drone (Bayraktar Akinci) can be used to launch a stealthy Turkish cruise missile with 100+ nmi range (SOM missile) that has anti-ship and land target capabilities. Have both been supplied to Ukraine? Need to hit lots of ships and supply depos/staging areas, including those in Russia/Belarus.

[theolamp]

Putin has drawn lines in the sand. NATO needs to do the same. NATO should not say what they won't do. They need to say what they will do.

[snuggles]

The first reporters question was absolutely ridiculous, the guy is not a psychologist.

[gforceXX]

Ukraine needs to now learn two future needs, post invasion, a formidable Air Superiority Fighter and Coastal Defense.

God Bless Ukrainian and it’s peace loving people ✝️🙏
