NATO is unable and unprepared to defend European countries because most of its defensive capability has already been destroyed in Ukraine, veteran Defense Department analyst and retired US Air Force Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski told Sputnik. European NATO members have had no reason to develop their own defense capabilities, diplomacy, or trade due to the dominant role of the United States in the military bloc, including its key position in nuclear defense, Kwiatkowski noted. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Thursday that NATO’s new development plan includes readiness to mobilize around 300,000 troops in the European Union, while the EU currently has 150,000 operational military personnel.
