4 key insights from Munich Security Conference

gdeltproject.org · 4 months ago

As defence chiefs, we warn you today about Russia, and say this rearmament is not warmongering | Richard Knighton and Carsten Breuer Our security is more uncertain than in decades. But by working together, and by showing strength, Britain, Germany and the rest of Europe can preserve peaceAir Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton is UK chief of the defence staff. Gen Carsten Breuer is German chief of defenceTop British and German military chiefs press moral case for rearmamentWe write today not merely as the military leaders of two of Europes largest military spenders, but as voices for a Europe that must now confront uncomfortable truths about its security. Through the early years of our careers, Europe was emerging from the shadow of the cold war. Governments of all political colours chose to take what was known as the peace dividend – investing in public services and reducing spending on defence. That was an understandable choice at the time. Now its clear that the threats we face demand a step change in our defence and security. European leaders, along with military and civilian officials, have just discussed necessary consequences at the annual Munich security conference.As military leaders, we see every day from intelligence and open sources how Russias military posture has shifted decisively westward. Its forces are rearming and learning from the war in Ukraine, reorganising in ways that could heighten the risk of conflict with Nato countries. This is a reality we must prepare for; we cannot be complacent. Moscows military buildup, combined with its willingness to wage war on our continent, as painfully evidenced in Ukraine, represents an increased risk that demands our collective attention.Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton is UK chief of the defence staff. Gen Carsten Breuer is German chief of defence Continue reading...

Pfister addresses Switzerlands modest military spending in Munich At the 62nd Munich Security Conference, Defence Minister Martin Pfister spoke for the first time about Switzerlands relatively modest defence spending. + Get the most important news from Switzerland in your inbox Pfister told Swiss public broadcaster SRF on Saturday evening in Munich that Switzerland has come under fire for spending less than 1 of its gross domestic product (GDP) on defence. By comparison, NATO member states have committed to investing around five times that amount – around 5 – when defence is measured in broader terms.
