NATO on Thursday ordered its military commanders to intensify preparations to defend allied territory after Russia invaded Ukraine, putting hundreds of warplanes and ships on alert and agreeing to increase troop numbers on its eastern flank.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said he had convened a virtual emergency summit of the alliance's 30 nations for Friday, which is set to include U.S. President Joe Biden, and they would be joined by the leaders of Sweden, Finland and European Union institutions.

Russian forces invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea on Thursday, confirming the worst fears of the West with the biggest attack by one state against another in Europe since World War Two. read more

"Peace on our continent has been shattered," Stoltenberg told a news conference. "Russia is using force to try to rewrite history, and deny Ukraine its free and independent path."

The activation of NATO's "graduated response plans" is a rare step that Stoltenberg said underscored the gravity of a "full-fledged invasion" of Ukraine, giving allied commanders greater scope for decision-making.

Americans clearly saw the future by forming NATO as far back as 1950s. They prepared for what we are seeing today. Russia is heading for self destruction. China who hates Europeans will see this as an European war, they will fail Russia. They don't want what happened to Japan to be metted on them. And once China backs of North Korea will follow suit. Russia will be alone in this. Japan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan are all NATO independent partners.

Don't be too sure. China wants to see how the US will handle Russia, to decide on their invasion of Taiwan.
