One Flank, One Threat, One Presence
註釋This report lays out a comprehensive Eastern Flank strategy to address the threats and challenges in both the Baltic and Black Sea regions. In an era of global competition, and with the United States increasingly turning its attention toward a rising and aggressive China, potential sources of conflict with Russia must be addressed. The Alliance must also contend with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on NATO's defense budgets and cohesion, and in its relations with hostile powers. In order to curtail Moscow's revisionist objective to create a neo-imperial sphere of influence, NATO should remove any asymmetries in its current Eastern Flank posture by enhancing its role in the wider Black Sea region in all domains; strengthening deterrence and defense capabilities in the Baltic Sea region; and adopting a common threat assessment to enable the rapid political and military reactions necessary to deter Moscow's probing and outright aggression.
