security in the western world. thus, nature's latest security assessment of moscow, it was disclosed during a crucial summit in madrid. the alliances members endorsed a more aggressive stance than the last time they agreed on strategy in 2010 more troops, more funding and more support for each other. russia accused nato of acting with imperial ambitions and using ukraine to assert its power. nater says it's facing him more dangerous and competitive weld as it presented his strategy or the summit . the alliance promised more troops in europe and declared an unshakable, long term commitment to ukraine. as part of that president joe biden announced a permanent u. s. army base in poland and additional land and sea deployments across europe. the u. s. will also send 2 more f 35 fighter jets squadrons to the u. k. sweden and finland were invited to join nato during the summit, marking historic shift in european security and nater sad. it continues to view its nuclear arsenal as a deterrent only while rear to rating its commitment to the non proliferation treaty. for the 1st time, nato leaders vice concern about the threat they see china

western military alliance labeled russia threads? you know, they're not just labeling them a threat, they're labeling them their most significant threat to the safety and security of nato members. and yet, at the same time, the alliance continues to say that it wants to grow and add onto those members, right up once again to russia as doorstep. now the steam was also notable because in one paragraph, they mention russia as a threat. and then in another paragraph, they said that nato poses no threat whatsoever to russia. and of course, this all comes as the alliance says that it is going to step up its political and practical support for ukraine. and as far as the timeline goes there, it continues to say it will be as long as it takes about conflicts, certainly isn't going anywhere anytime soon. so well we have natal cooling russia thread. so was the response from moscow regarding the us lead blocks own actions. while russia has been very critical of this plan to include finland and sweden as members and nato, and is repeatedly pointed to the fact that the united states and nato have made promises in the past saying that they would not expand eastward. and yet t

focused on energy and food security. nato was said to announce what secretary general in stoughton bag called the alliance, his biggest overall overhaul since the cold war. the western military alliance wants that hundreds of thousands of troops which rapid reaction force focusing on nato's eastern flank. critics, however, say that will hardly did her russia d w's. terry schultz has more rude testers in madrid, demand no more nato. but this week summit will create more nato, than even the alliance itself imagined. in years past, with more raging just over it's border, nato's never been under so much pressure to prove it can. as it's pledge goes, protect every inch of alliance territory. we will transform the nato response force and increase the number of our high rudeness forces to well over 300000. that's up from 40000. now, that's one of the new measures nato leaders meeting in madrid will approved to strengthen defense and deterrence. they'll also promise to spend more to accomplish it. most visibly higher. 2 numbers will be kept at higher readiness along the eastern flank. already since russia launched the war in ukraine and february, new nato battle groups have

alliance continues to preserve peace, prevent conflict and protect our people and our values. this nato summit has seen a real hardening of attitudes to russia, describing it as a direct threat to western securityso seen it to new members finland and sweden invited tojoin the to new members finland and sweden invited to join the alliance. and it has prompted a military deployment to europe that are the closest thing to europe that are the closest thing to a return to cold war postures that we have seen in more than 30 years. ukraine's army has been steadily losing ground in the east as it begs for more weapons to hold back the advancing russians. some leaders are more vocal than others in saying that western assistance must continue for years if necessary. 0urjob is simply to vindicate the principle, to stand up for the principle of the right of the ukrainians to protect themselves. that's what we are doing. that's what everybody in the alliance is doing. and we want to give them the means to repel the russians, to expel the russians from the territory that they have occupied because that is they have occupied because that is the right thing under international law. , , . the right thing under
