EXCERPT:
BAUER: "But we need to invest more in air defense, for example, but also deep precision strike, which is a discussion that is relatively young in NATO, and I'm very happy that we had it and that we have now changed this attitude from -- I mean, the idea was we're a defensive alliance, so we will only sit and wait until we're attacked. And then when we're attacked, we will be able to shoot down the arrows that come to us. But it's smarter, not only to do that, but also to attack the archer that is in Russia, if Russia attacks us. So you need to have a combination of deep precision strike with which you can take out the weapon systems that are used to attack us.”
