NATO commander says the alliance does not want war but is ‘ready to fight tonight’

Warsaw, Poland (AP) — NATO's top military commander, U.S. General Alexus Grynkewich, stated that the alliance is "ready to fight tonight" if it faces an attack, as European officials express concerns over Russia potentially testing NATO's defenses through covert attacks or limited incursions. According to Grynkewich, NATO's "Theory of Victory" involves blocking the initial attack, halting any enemy advance, and breaking the enemy's forces if necessary.

The U.S. General emphasized that NATO is not seeking war but is prepared to respond to military aggression. He highlighted that NATO will use a combination of sensors, autonomous systems, and military force to deter any Russian assault. NATO's commander noted that the alliance is not planning an attack and that conflict is not imminent or inevitable.

Instead, the focus is on maintaining open lines of communication to prevent misunderstandings and strengthen defenses.
