"Para Nick Reynolds, especialista em Guerra Terrestre do Instituto Royal United Services para Estudos de Defesa e Segurança (Rusi, em Londres), as tropas americanas, na Alemanha, são parte crucial da dissuasão convencional da Organização do Tratado do Atlântico Norte (Otan). “A Rússia tem se comportado mais agressivamente na Europa nos últimos anos, e tem sido vista como um adversário pela Otan. Um grande meio para a Rússia promover suas metas políticas é a ameaça da força militar. Uma presença militar da Otan robusta e capaz na Europa é essencial para coibir uma agressão. Como a maioria dos membros da Otan subinvestiram em suas capacidades militares, os EUA ainda fornecem a espinha dorsal das forças da Otan na Europa, e a presença das tropas é fundamental para uma dissuasão crível da aliança ocidental”, explicou ao Correio.

NATO vs Russia at 70
Commentary, 6 November 2019Peter Roberts
The competition between NATO and Russia is not going the Alliance’s way. Russia has encircled Europe and divided the Alliance. How odd then that NATO is in such a self-congratulatory mood on its 70th anniversary.
