NATO Military Committee Chairman Rob Bauer said the US-led bloc is ready for a direct confrontation with Russia.

Bauer said NATO would only respond if Russia crossed a red line by invading one of the alliance's member states. He pointed out that NATO should be better prepared because Russia currently has the military initiative.

-The fact that your enemy has better weapons is not the enemy's problem. That's your problem - Bauer said in an interview with the Portuguese TV channel RTP.

Speaking about the possible introduction of a "war economy, but in peacetime", Bauer admitted that the process will be difficult, TASS reported.
