US EditionNATO Must Be Ready for 2-Front Conflict with Russia and China, Top US Commander in Europe Says
WIESBADEN, GERMANY, JUL 17 – NATO's top commander warns of potential simultaneous conflicts by Russia and China in 2027, urging faster military capability development and increased defense spending by allies.
- On July 17, 2025, in Wiesbaden, Germany, NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Alexus Grynkewich cautioned that the Alliance must be prepared for the possibility of concurrent conflicts against Russia in Europe and China in the Indo-Pacific region.
- This warning follows China adding around 100 new nuclear warheads since 2023 and President Xi Jinping's military readiness order regarding Taiwan, creating a two-front deterrence challenge.
- Grynkewich highlighted the critical need to accelerate the delivery of military capabilities and advocated for a coordinated and active defence industrial partnership across the Atlantic to fulfill NATO's requirements.
- He emphasized the importance of obtaining all necessary gear, equipment, and ammunition to effectively counter the threat, and highlighted NATO allies' recent commitment to dedicate 5% of their GDP to defense spending.
- The situation implies NATO has little time to prepare and must accelerate cooperation between military and industry to strengthen capability development and readiness.
