NATO’s current crisis has to be handled carefully if the alliance is to preserve its deterrent effect. HBL says the issue is not only the substance of the crisis, but also the message NATO sends to its members and to the outside world.

The newspaper stresses that communication is at the center of the matter. That means messages need to stay consistent and controlled even when the situation is unusual.
