Pasukan Respons NATO diaktifkan untuk pertama kalinya. - NATO Response Force activated for first time.

Untuk pertama kalinya, NATO Response Force telah diaktifkan sebagai tindakan defensif dalam menanggapi invasi berkelanjutan Rusia ke Ukraina. - For the first time, the NATO Response Force has been activated as a defensive measure in response to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.


Feb25, 2022 - 6:53 PM.
"Kami sendirian dalam membela negara kami. Siapa yang siap membela kami bersama kami? Sejujurnya, saya tidak melihat ada," kata Zelensky.  "Siapa yang siap memberi Ukraina jaminan untuk bergabung dengan NATO? Sejujurnya, semua orang takut."

Aktivasi pasukan tanggapan tidak berarti bahwa pasukan AS atau NATO akan masuk ke Ukraina, yang bukan anggota.  Presiden AS Joe Biden telah menjelaskan bahwa pasukan AS dikerahkan ke Eropa timur untuk membantu memperkuat negara-negara NATO yang gelisah tentang tindakan agresif Rusia, dan mereka tidak akan berperang di Ukraina.

“Ini adalah momen bersejarah dan pertama kalinya Aliansi menggunakan pasukan dengan kesiapan tinggi ini dalam peran pencegahan dan pertahanan. Mereka mewakili kekuatan tempur yang fleksibel dan kredibel yang dapat digunakan dalam berbagai cara dan kami memanfaatkan sepenuhnya kelincahan bawaan mereka,  Wolters mengatakan dalam sebuah pernyataan, "Langkah-langkah pencegahan ini bijaksana dan meningkatkan kecepatan, daya tanggap, dan kemampuan kami untuk melindungi dan melindungi satu miliar warga yang kami bersumpah untuk melindungi."

Pasukan belum dikerahkan tetapi dalam keadaan siaga.  Tidak jelas berapa banyak pasukan yang akan ditampung oleh pasukan respon.

Sekretaris Jenderal NATO Jens Stoltenberg mengatakan Jumat bahwa aliansi masih perlu berbuat lebih banyak untuk menekan Kremlin untuk mengakhiri agresi militer di Ukraina.

"Kita harus siap untuk berbuat lebih banyak, bahkan jika itu berarti kita harus membayar harganya, karena kita berada di sini untuk jangka panjang," katanya.  “Kami harus menganggap ini serius, dan itulah mengapa kami sekarang mengerahkan pasukan respons NATO untuk pertama kalinya dalam konteks pertahanan kolektif,” katanya.

Seluruh Pasukan Respon NATO adalah 40.000 tentara tetapi Stoltenberg tidak mengatakan berapa banyak yang akan diaktifkan, mengatakan kepada wartawan "kami adalah elemen penyebaran" dari pasukan tersebut.

Dalam sebuah pesan yang dirilis Jumat pagi, Zelensky berterima kasih kepada NATO atas dukungannya tetapi mendesak aliansi itu untuk berbuat lebih banyak, menyesali fakta bahwa Ukraina dibiarkan berjuang sendiri.

"Kami sendirian dalam membela negara kami. Siapa yang siap membela kami bersama kami? Jujur, saya tidak melihat," kata Zelensky.  "Siapa yang siap memberi Ukraina jaminan untuk bergabung dengan NATO? Sejujurnya, semua orang takut."

"We are alone in defending our country. Who is ready to defend us together with us?  Honestly, I don't see any," Zelensky said. "Who is ready to give Ukraine a guarantee of joining NATO? Honestly, everyone is afraid."

The activation of the response troops does not mean that any US or NATO troops will go into Ukraine, which is not a member. US President Joe Biden has been clear that US troops are deploying to eastern Europe to help bolster NATO countries nervous about Russia's aggressive actions, and they will not be fighting in Ukraine.

"This is an historic moment and the very first time the Alliance has employed these high readiness forces in a deterrence and defense role. They represent a flexible, combat credible force that can be employed in multiple ways and we are utilizing fully their inherent agility," Wolters said in a statement "These deterrence measures are prudent and enhance our speed, responsiveness and capability to shield and protect the one billion citizens we swore to protect."

The force has not yet deployed but is on standby. It's not clear how many troops the response force will contain.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Friday that the alliance still needed to do more to put pressure on the Kremlin to bring an end to military aggression in Ukraine. 

"We must stand ready to do more, even if it means we have to pay the price, because we are in this for the long haul," he said. "We have to take this seriously, and that's exactly why we are now deploying the NATO response force for the first time in a collective defense context," he said. 

The entire NATO Response Force is 40,000 troops but Stoltenberg did not say how many would be activated, telling reporters "we are deployment elements" of the force. 

In a message released Friday morning, Zelensky thanked NATO for its support but urged the alliance to do more, lamenting the fact that Ukraine was left to fend for itself.

"We are alone in defending our country. Who is ready to defend us together with us?  Honestly, I don't see any," Zelensky said. "Who is ready to give Ukraine a guarantee of joining NATO? Honestly, everyone is afraid."6

  Feb23, 2022 - 5:01 PM. Perdana Menteri Justin Trudeau mengatakan pemerintah dapat mencabut Undang-Undang Darurat sekarang karena krisis di Ottawa dan penyeberangan perbatasan Kanada telah mereda. Trudeau meminta Undang-Undang Darurat, yang menggantikan Undang-Undang Langkah Perang pada tahun 1988, untuk pertama kalinya pekan lalu, mengatakan polisi membutuhkan bantuan ekstra untuk mengakhiri blokade yang telah berlangsung di pusat kota Ottawa selama berminggu-minggu dan telah menyebar ke kunci Kanada-AS. penyeberangan perbatasan. Pada hari Senin, Trudeau mengatakan kekuatan luar biasa yang dibatasi waktu yang diberikan oleh Undang-Undang Darurat masih diperlukan karena pemerintahnya khawatir tentang blokade yang kembali. Trudeau sekarang mengatakan bahwa perintah itu sekarang telah dipulihkan dan bahwa sementara ancaman tetap ada, polisi dan undang-undang yang ada akan cukup untuk mencegah pekerjaan lain.

Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan". - The ongoing protests in Hong Kong have reached a “breaking point” and Singapore is watching the developments “with concern”, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Nov 18). “Unless calm is restored, dialogue commences and constructive actions taken, there will be grave doubts about Hong Kong's future and the sustainability of its current governance model,” said Mr Chan in his comments to reporters at The Treasury. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of unprecedented protests, which started initially from opposition to a controversial extradition Bill, but later evolved into a wider movement calling for democratic reforms and a halt to sliding freedoms under Chinese rule. Clashes between protesters and police have turned increasingly violent, with schools emerging as the new battleground in recent days. “We watch with concern the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong. This is especially so for those of us with relatives in Hong Kong,” said Mr Chan. He added that Hong Kong's continued success as an economic and financial hub is important for the region and the world, including Singapore. “We wish Hong Kong the very best and sincerely hope that the situation will improve soon,” he said.FOUR LESSONS FOR SINGAPOREMr Chan cautioned that what has happened in Hong Kong can “easily happen” to Singapore if the country is complacent. He also explained four lessons that Singapore can draw from the recent uncertainties in Hong Kong. The first is to have a well-functioning political system, which works closely with the public service to anticipate challenges, execute policies well, resolve problems and improve people's lives. “Regardless of political systems and party interests, the exercise of leadership must be to put people’s and country’s interests foremost,” the minister said. Feedback channels will also be required to enable responsive and responsible governance, he added. “Only with a well-functioning political system, the right political culture and a well-oiled feedback-to-action mechanism can we make adjustments to policies as necessary, execute decisively and communicate effectively.” “Today, too many governments and societies are too focused on the immediate and domestic, without sufficient considerations for the future or external.” As an example, he cited how the access to affordable housing and essential services is fundamental to keeping society stable. “The transfer of land ownership and properties across generations cannot be at the expense of depriving future generations’ opportunities to be rewarded based on hard work and capabilities. It cannot be that those who are rich first will be rich forever without due effort.” Mr Chan noted how there have been suggestions for Singapore to include land sales proceeds in the Budget and allow private developers land bank for longer periods so as to complete projects. “Our rules put national developments, especially public housing, as priority,” he elaborated. “We are careful to not distort incentives for Government to use land sales to maximise profits. Otherwise, it is the public that will ultimately pay. We are also careful to not let private developers’ interest override wider public interest. “Revenue from long-term land sales goes into our reserves to benefit future generations. This is the discipline we adhere to,” he said. Mr Chan then moved on to the third lesson on social cohesion and conflict resolution. “Unity amidst diversity requires all parties to bear in mind the wider good of the country, while championing the respective wants of specific communities. “To insist on maximal individual gains, at the expense of the common and collective good, cannot be the Singapore way,” he said. The “Singapore way” also includes dialogue and constructive actions, instead of violence, when it comes to resolving problems. Mr Chan stressed that conflict resolution requires all parties to take actions that are responsible and constructive. Singaporeans are also ultimately responsible for our their future. “Regardless of what others say, we must bear the responsibilities and consequences of our own choices and actions. This is why we are against foreign interference in domestic politics,” he said. Lastly, the minister noted that it is never easy for small city-states to survive and thrive without a conventional hinterland for supplies, markets and opportunities. “Singapore will have to pick up the pieces ourselves should things go badly wrong,” he said. Therefore, Singapore's continued relevance to the world is “never a given” and the country must continue to work hard, distinguish itself and stay exceptional amid global uncertainties. This includes growing opportunities for local enterprises and workers, as well as providing value to regional and global geo-strategic affairs with principled perspectives and clear-eyed analysis of the challenges and opportunities, among others.

SINGAPURA: Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan", kata Menteri Perdagangan dan Industri Chan Chun Sing, Senin (18 November).  "Jika ketenangan tidak dipulihkan, dialog akan dimulai dan tindakan konstruktif telah diambil, akan ada keraguan besar tentang masa depan Hong Kong dan keberlanjutan model pemerintahan saat ini," kata Mr Chan dalam komentarnya kepada wartawan di The Treasury.  Hong Kong telah diguncang oleh berbulan-bulan protes yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yang dimulai awalnya dari oposisi ke RUU ekstradisi yang kontroversial, tetapi kemudian berkembang menjadi gerakan yang lebih luas yang menyerukan reformasi demokratis dan penghentian kebebasan geser di bawah kekuasaan Tiongkok.  Bentrokan antara pemrotes dan polisi semakin berubah menjadi kekerasan, dengan sekolah-sekolah muncul sebagai medan pertempuran baru dalam beberapa hari ...
