Middle East: Head of US Command in Europe: ‘There are not enough forces to defend Israel’

Rome, 1 August (LaPresse) – General Alexus Grynkewich, head of the US European Command, has sent a written warning to the Pentagon, stating that if he does not receive another Navy destroyer, he will have to choose between defending Israel or the United States’ “homeland”. This is reported by the Washington Post, citing officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. European Command coordinates operations in the Mediterranean but is also responsible for protecting against potential Russian incursions into NATO territory and the threat posed by Russian long-range missiles.
