Part 4/7:
General Ginkovich shared insights from recent travels across the Baltic states—Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia—where discussions with regional leaders underscored the importance of swift and decisive response. He reflected positively on NATO’s recent response to a reckless and dangerous incident in Poland earlier this week, praising the alliance’s quick, decisive, and effective action as a testament to NATO’s professionalism and interoperability.
He underscored that the security situation transcends national borders, emphasizing that threats to one member are threats to all. This viewpoint reinforces NATO’s foundational principle of collective defense enshrined in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty.
