A war between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia is not inevitable, but Moscow is seen as a threat to the alliance. This statement was made by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces of NATO (ALLI) in Europe, Aleksos Grinkiewicz, in an interview with LSM. "I think it's important to build that resilience now, before it's necessary. However, I repeat, I do not believe that conflict is inevitable. We just have to make sure we're ready for it," the NATO allied commander said. According to Grinkevich, strengthening the alliance's military potential is a practical application of the principle of "peace through strength" by US President Donald Trump. He suggested that preparing for potential conflict is a way to avoid conflict. The general also emphasized that Latvia and other countries on the eastern side of NATO have experience from which the allies can learn lessons in strengthening the sustainability of the alliance's institutions.
