About this Quote

This quote by Lord Robertson is a warning to the NATO nations that if they do not make their soldiers more usable and do not offer them with the required equipment to get them to the action quickly, then the organisation will suffer and end up being progressively irrelevant. He is suggesting that the NATO nations require to purchase their military forces and guarantee that they are well-equipped and prepared to respond to any circumstance. This is necessary for the organisation to remain relevant and efficient in the international arena. Lord Robertson is likewise emphasising the requirement for the NATO countries to be prepared and all set to act in order to keep their importance and effectiveness. He is recommending that if the NATO countries do not take the necessary steps to ensure their troops are ready and equipped, then the organisation will suffer and end up being increasingly unimportant.
