Rumors of War - King of the North

Russia could gain military dominance over NATO, commander says - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Growing modernization could give the Russian military dominance over NATO if the military bloc fails to adapt, the top commander said Wednesday. [...] 'A resurgence of Russia as a strategic competitor, growing unrest and instability in Africa and the Middle East, as well as terrorism, [are] reshaping our strategic environment,' he said. The relationship between Russia and much of the West, including NATO, has been strained since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine."

Comment: Odd that in the context of Russia, the commander did not address the issue of a NATO member (Turkey) likely leaving the alliance to join with Russia. This is something that we all see on the horizon, but could it be that the planners in Brussels are not planning for that eventuality?
