NATO Commander Warns Russia: Alliance Will 'Break' Any Attacking Force
Supreme Allied Commander Europe Gen. Alexus Grynkewich outlines a 'block, blunt, break' strategy at the Warsaw Security Forum to deter Russian aggression.
KEY POINTS
- Gen. Grynkewich unveiled a 'block, blunt, break' war-fighting concept at the Warsaw Security Forum.
- NATO pledges to destroy all elements supporting an attack, not just the attacking units.
- All 32 allies have approved the new 'theory of victory' framework.
- Strategy aims to deter Russia amid hybrid operations and airspace violations.
- Commander asserts NATO's readiness is high due to advanced intelligence fusion.
NATO's top military commander, U.S. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, presented the alliance's new 'theory of victory' on Monday at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland. He detailed a three-pronged strategy to 'block, blunt, and break' enemy forces should deterrence fail.
Grynkewich warned that if an adversary attacks, NATO will destroy 'anything and everything' supporting that force, including command and sustainment systems. He emphasized the alliance would ensure any attack proves 'utterly futile.'
“Should the adversary choose to press the attack or commit his reserves, we will break the warfighting system engaged against us.”
The commander stressed that NATO remains a defensive alliance with no plans beyond protecting populations and territory. However, he cautioned that this defensive nature should not be mistaken for weakness or lack of resolve.
All 32 NATO allies have endorsed the new strategy, which relies on superior decision-making and advanced intelligence fusion. Grynkewich stated the probability of the alliance being caught unprepared is low.
The remarks come amid heightened tensions following repeated Russian drone incursions into NATO airspace and suspected sabotage campaigns across Europe attributed to Moscow.
