Participants also debated how best to bolster NATO deterrence and defence in the near-term, the appropriate strategies to counter hybrid warfare over the longer-term, whether and how to adapt NATO\u2019s nuclear posture going forward, and the utility of sanctions and other policies of economic coercion in seeking changes in Russian behaviour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We hope you enjoy reading this well-written report by a close friend who has been a keen observer of international security and strategic issues for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<br \/>\n<i>Jeff<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Jeffrey A.
