James Stavridis: "Ukraine today is Great Britain in 1940, standing alone against aggression while others argue" The former supreme commander of NATO forces in Europe, James Stavridis, said on CNN that four years ago the Russian-Ukrainian war resembled World War I with trenches, tanks and infantry. And today - "Storship Troopers" with drones, artificial intelligence and robots on the battlefield. Stabrodis emphasized that NATO is actively studying the Ukrainian experience to prepare its forces if "Putin decides to take any action against the alliance in the future." He also recalled how Great Britain, before the United States entered World War II, developed new methods of struggle to stop Nazi Germany. Ukraine is doing the same now. "I would say that the United States has not only a moral obligation, but also a very practical one to support Ukraine," he said.
