I stress once again the defensive nature of this base and the fact that it is an important contribution of Romania in its Partnership with the US to strengthening the NATO capabilities, Romanias head of state added,showing that the Deveselu basewill be operational as of this year.

Klaus Iohannis pointed out that he has confirmed during his talks with the NATO head, the significant contribution of Romania in the NATO mission in Afghanistan in the spirit of the solidarity within the Alliance

NATO Secretary General: With itsstrong commitment to reach 2 pct of the GDP for defence expenditure until 2017, Romania is an example for others

NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg said that Romanias decision to raise the defence expenditure to 2 pct of the Gross Domestic Product by 2017 is an example for the other member states of the Alliance.

We have discussed the decision made by Romania, the agreement among all the Romanian important political parties to accomplish the tasks linked to the defence, to halt the cuts in the defence expenditure and start the gradual increment of the expenditures. Romania is an example for others. You agreed and made a strong commitment to reach 2 pct of the GDP for defence expenditure until 2017. This is an example for other states and we are going to use Romania as example for other countries, saying that if Romania did this thing it had committed to, it is important for Romania, for the entire Alliance and an example for many other allies, Stoltenberg said in Brussels, in a joint conference with President Klaus Iohannis.

According to Agerpres correspondent in Brussels, Jens Stoltenberg hailed Romanias strong commitment within NATO, and also its solid contribution to many of the Alliances activities and missions.

To protect its Second Amendment rights, a handgun manufacturer is blasting Liam Neeson for exercising his First Amendment rights. "Theres too many f--king guns out there," the actor said recently. "I think the (U.S.) population is like 320 million. Theres over 300 million guns privately owned in America. I think its a f--king disgrace."

In response, North Carolina-based PARA USA which supplied guns Neesons hit film "Taken 3" but now regrets its decision is calling on the firearms industry not to provide guns to his movies. "[We] ask that our friends and partners in Hollywood refrain from associating our brand and products with his projects, the firm said in a Facebook post. We encourage our partners and friends in the firearms industry to do the same."

Neeson, whose "Taken" trilogy is filled with gun violence, thinks guns onscreen are just fine. "I grew up watching cowboy movies," he said. Loved doing that (gun gesture) with my fingers, Bang, bang, youre dead! I didn't end up a killer."

Late-blooming action hero Neesons hit parade continues March 13 with "Run All Night," in which he plays a graying assassin who gets in deep with his longtime mob boss and comes out firing.
