John Pienaar with Times Radio Drive: Arctic and High North约翰·皮纳尔 (John Pienaar) 主持的《时代广播》节目：北极和高北地区
The issue on the UK side is the availability to actually lead, as we say that we have aspirations to do so, where [we] now command NATO operations in the Arctic and High North. So if you’re in those command positions, you then need the capabilities to back that up. Critically, [to] show leadership against other allies when other allies are making these decisions [and] having greater availability of capabilities, it looks a little hollow when we say, ‘Well, we’ll lead,’ but we don’t necessarily have the capabilities to be able to do that.

英国方面的问题在于是否具备真正的领导能力，正如我们所说，我们渴望这样做，目前我们指挥着北约在北极和高北地区的行动。因此，如果你身居要职，就必须具备相应的能力来支撑你的指挥。至关重要的是，当其他盟国拥有更强大的能力并做出这些决策时，如果我们说“我们会领导”，却未必具备相应的能力，那么这种说法就显得有些空洞。
