From the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, remarks of the Secretary-General during his visit to the Republic of Korea, January 30:
....NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: No one can tell today when the war will end. But what we do know is that this is a war of aggression, this is actually a war of choice by President Putin. He decided to invade another country, a sovereign democratic state in Europe. And President Putin can end the war today. But the challenge is that we don't see any signs that President Putin and rules in Moscow are preparing for peace. We see the opposite. We see that they are preparing for more war, that they are mobilizing more soldiers, more than 200,000, and potentially even more than that. That they are actively acquiring new weapons, more ammunition, ramping up their own production, but also acquiring more weapons from other authoritarian states like Iran and North Korea. And most of all, we have seen no sign that President Putin has changed his overall goal of this invasion that is to control a neighbour, to control Ukraine. So as long as this is the case, we need to be prepared for long haul.....
....MUCH MORE
The Secretary-General is in Asia asking for help from Korea and Japan.
From The Defense Post: "NATO Chief Asks S. Korea to ‘Step Up’ Military Support for Ukraine"
And Reuters: "NATO to strengthen partnership with Japan, says Secretary-General Stoltenberg"
That's a long way from the Atlantic, something's up.
Huh. Ninety seconds to midnight.
