NATO Lacks Air Defences to Defend Europe's Eastern Flank Against Russia | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Europe is facing a stark reality: its air defences are woefully inadequate. A recent NATO report revealed the alliance has less than 5% of the capability it needs to protect its eastern flank, particularly countries in Central and Eastern Europe bordering Russia. This vulnerability has become a focal point as the war in Ukraine rages on. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been asking for more air defence systems to counter relentless Russian airstrikes. While acknowledging the urgency, NATO has yet to take significant steps to bolster air defences in Eastern Europe. Moreover, Europe's efforts to boost their air defence systems are hampered by internal disagreements. Kremlin advisors are suggesting a "demonstrative" nuclear strike in Ukraine. Palki Sharma tells you more.

NATO lacks nothing except COMMON SENSE.....
-
Despite all of this, they are still provoking Russia until now, I don't get them

Zelenski has learnt to speak English? The war has actually achieved something worth remembering.
-
it is the sad reality that no leader is asking for peace, everyone asking for weapons.

NATO, NATO, NATO, NATO, How many times have I called you ? Common sense is NOT common.
-
why do Europe prefer to put their country & citizens at risk all for the sake of NATO ?

As an American, why do i care Europe didn't take measures to defend itself.?

I learned a lots when I work in Middle East. The best thing to do is respect each others. Like if NATO has a respect for it's neighbours. War should be prevented. How many lives being wasted for this unnecessary conflicts. Billions of dollars spent for arms. And that money should be in good causes. Like fighting hunger all over the world. The solution is to sit down both aggreving parties. Ang reconcile both their differences. Let peace give a chance.

Mr Zelensky, the only way to save lives is peace, not begging for weapons to continue a war you as a leader who truly loves his country should have prevented in the first place.
