Adm. Rob Bauer, NATO’s top military officer, discusses what business and government can do to defend themselves, what he sees as the need for increased defense spending and how a second Trump presidency could affect the alliance.

from WSJ News

a few of the phrases:

  • rules-based international order (no mention of ICC/ICJ etc obviously)
  • govts should be more like business, business should think more like govts
  • in China they all think about ‘we’, but in the west it’s all about ‘me’
  • invest in MIC for the future of the west

the message is pretty clearly ‘more austerity is required for more MIC or we are gonna be screwed’ if you read between the lines a bit
