 NATO prepares for war in Europe. Admiral gives advice to public. NATO Admiral advises people to prepare for war and provides recommendations according to Lich Dagblad. After a two-day meeting on NATO's military committee in Brussels, three military chiefs hinted that the alliance is preparing for war in Europe. You need to have water, you need to have a radio on batteries, you need to have a flashlight on batteries to make sure that you can survive the first 36 hours, said NATO Admiral Rob Bauer. The advice for citizens to prepare confirms Bauer's statement that in the event of war, cooperation from the entire society will be necessary. Bauer stated that for decades there had been the notion of relying on professional armies to address security issues in Afghanistan or Iraq. He emphasized that for a new war such a professional army would be insufficient. Accordingly he suggested the need to reconsider systems such as military conscription or the activation of reservists. NATO aims to expand ties with partners worldwide. In Europe the alliance plans to cooperate with Austria, Ireland and Switzerland, while in Asia and Oceania with Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia. According to Western experts the war in Ukraine may last at least another two years.
