Mesaj special pentru România de la amiralul care a condus flota SUA din Pacific: „Urmează luni pline de provocări pentru Flancul Estic”

Admiral Mark Montgomery discusses Romania's strategic vulnerabilities and opportunities amid rising hybrid warfare threats from Russia. He emphasizes the importance of enhancing Romania's energy sector and cybersecurity capabilities. Montgomery believes that while Russia is unlikely to launch direct military actions against NATO, it will intensify hybrid warfare tactics. He highlights Romania's potential as a significant energy producer and its skilled IT workforce, which could contribute to NATO's collective defense. However, he warns that bureaucratic inefficiencies and corruption hinder progress. A coherent NATO strategy for the Black Sea is also lacking, primarily due to Turkey's control over access through the Bosporus. Montgomery urges Romania to invest more in defense and strengthen its international alliances.
