Good Morning! I'm A Canadian 🇨🇦 and Proud To Be A Small Part Of A NATO Country!

[@appstratum9747]

Good morning. I'm British. And like many Europeans in NATO countries - particularly the UK and France but also across the EU, too - we'll step up for Canada, believe me! As will, I imagine, a great many (currently appalled) Americans. 🙂

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

Really? Funny cuz i'm proud that we are part of it but quite ashamed to be only a small insignificant part of it.

[@63JB63]

[@maudieg8459]

I applauded the NATO organization and the leaders gathered now. Here in the US conditions have deteriorated to the point that I question our ability to manage our own affairs, let alone provide any support to the world. I take heart knowing other countries are making great efforts to defend democracy around the world and for supporting Ukraine. À heartfelt thank you from northern Wisconsin.

Morning, y'all from Southwest Missouri, United States. I'm so sorry for what my country of origin is becoming. It's like watching the fall of Rome, but with social media. May we not repeat the same mistakes of our forefathers.

Great speech from both. Feels more safe here in Finland 🇫🇮 and that we're a larger European family now. Together stronger 💪🏻. All the best from the North.

[@bettinarossi7908]

It is predicted that Ukraine will be a part of NATO 2025.🌻💙Let's go!!🙏

[@bastaardzmuller]

Realistically, I think thats too optimistic. But certainly before 2030 🟨🟦

[@DerClouder]

Finland will fully support this endeavor! I personally made three trips with a car to bring families to safety from Ukraine to Finland, while transporting medical supplies like insulin(do not ask where or how i got them) to Ukraine. At one point i was stopped by Polish borderguard and when they asked about the boxes of insulin i just said "Ukraine" and handed them my passport with money. They took the passport and gave the money back to me saying "For Ukraine" and then waved us through the checkpoint.

[@dananorris6242]

They don't allow countries to join while their involved in a war, which I think that would include defending themselves. If they join in 2025 then it means their war is going to end this year. That would be very good news!

[@elaineburnett5230]

That would be a start in a good direction.

[@aussietroll7873]

The first thing that needs to happen is clear, united political messaging to EU citizens (and fellow NATO citizens) of what exactly are the threats and risks, and what is at stake. This crisis can only be overcome with the overwhelming support of its constituents.

Good speech, finally getting it right, now getting action right. I find my own ignorance of Ukraine three years ago and how main stream media fails in trustworthy and healthy reporting on all sides and lacks accountability which reflects the culture of non-truth age. You chip away at this global challenge.

[@cg4441]

Refreshing to listen to mature, intelligent speech.

[@DardaniaLion]

I am really confused to how NATO is standing. As of now it is a force of ONLY defence but at the same time all the NATO enemies are on the offence. How do you keep standing this ground as only defence when your enemies are attacking? Russia is not on the defence, China cutting cables in the Baltic Sea is not on the defence. They are damaging NATO member properties as we speak. NATO has only few countries that are something. Like America, Turkey or Poland. The rest is soft like mozzarella. Europe countries like UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy who have GDP of over 2 trillion MUST, I repeat MUST build up and army of 2 million soldiers that are ready to defend the continent. Wake up Europe, it's not wonderland we live in. By the way, I have high respect for this gentleman Rob Bauer, he is great and the new NATO secretary Mark Rutte is also great man too. Just wake up NATO!! With love and respect greeting to NATO from a little guy from Kosovo who was saved by NATO.

[@tedbed1389]

All agreed, but there are serious complications to that plainness... Who is due for service, what does it mean to serve in the era of open borders and Universal sufrage... or are there going to be economic incentives? All dubious. Culture doesn't lent itself for a strong stance

[@moggadah]

​@@tedbed1389We live in a great confusion. I don't want war and I don't want bullies. I hope our "enemies" are as tight as one might think. It all starts to look like a social experiment.

[@egnappahz]

I agree, Europe needs to wake up. We must not forget, NATO is the only possible thing standing between villains and crimes. Ask serbia. Peace to you and your free country.

[@yeelee7345]

Thanks NATO so much ❤Ukraine needs peace freedom now

[@kevincanham3078]

[@Roberto_Costa]

Congratulations Sirs., sometimes I think why it shouldn't be us, the democracy states, to conquer and rule the world.

[@onepluszulu6701]

Because we are democracies, because we respect the sovereignty of nations. To conquer, to rule others than our own, make ourselves the same as those who seek to tear down the fabric of democracy at its foundation. A single thought of "for the greater good" at the expense of the misery and pain of others is the sustenance on which tyranny survives.

Can someone explain what does Rob Bauer mean by : Our band of three and a half brothers and sisters in uniform? 11:10

[@NATONews]

Well spotted, there is a word missing. This will probably clarify: "Our sacred task is to support and enable the work of our band of 3.5 million brothers and sisters in uniform who defend our great Alliance."

Please tell me! Where are more than a hundred F-15 for Ukraine? I want to say this not only for Ukraine, but for European security! The issue with the pilots was resolved by itself. If North Koreans can fight in the ranks of the army of the dark side orcs, then hired F-15 pilots can fight on the side of good! On the side of Ukraine! Ukraine is a security FortPost for Europe and the civilized world!

[@kristinaF54]

Still no roadmap towards a unified and streamlined, manufacturing and distribution of military hardware and armaments across all NATO members yet? Letting each member waste their valuable time and limited finances to develop and use homegrown bespoke military tech and weapons is a serious concern especially if said tech, weapons and armaments are not compatible with other member's, or that the tech and weapons might not be transferable in a life or death emergency within the alliance.

[@manuellangius2896]

This is exactly why Mark Rutte is chairman of the NATO. He' s our former minister president and knows exactly his way in Brussels and the EU, lot off experience and friends with all leaders to get them in line for the defense build up quickly.

[@informacoeseducacao206]

With an EU collective army we would have more power in NATO...its policies should be reformed mainly the way the decisions are made and EU representation in Nato, we should have equal status in decision making as the US.

[@SKgeostrat]

"SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM" has never been truer. Let us hope the political leaders of Europe understand and convey this thought into action and more spending on defence. My worry is that the general public does not understand it. Mark Rutte has a big task of communication to the European public ahead of him. I hope he succeeds
