NOVA SODOBNA GROŽNJA NACIONALNI VARNOSTI – PRORAČUNSKA GROŽNJA

Težnja zmanjševanja vojaških izdatkov je značilna tudi za sodobno Slovenijo, čeprav se razsežnost in spekter groženj, ki nam grozijo, nista zmanjšala. Ravno nasprotno. Spremenile so se zgolj oblike teh groženj in pojavile nove, tako imenovane sodobne grožnje. Zmanjševanje vojaških izdatkov prinaša manjšo varnost državljanov in okrnjen nacionalni steber obrambe, kar se je pokazalo ob zadnji grožnji nacionalni varnosti, ob tako imenovani migrantski krizi, ko je na nepripravljenost Slovenske vojske in nizko stopnjo nacionalne varnosti opozoril celo vrhovni poveljnik obrambnih sil, predsednik države Borut Pahor. Poleg slabljenja domačega obrambnega sistema se je v zadnjih letih za nekatere grožnje nacionalni varnosti kot zelo šibka pokazala tudi pomoč evropskih institucij in Nata, zato je samozadostnost v nacionalnem varnostnem sistemu toliko bolj pomembna.The tendency to reduce military expenditure is characteristic of the modern Slovenia as well, although the dimensions and the array of threats we face have not been reduced. Quite the opposite - they have merely changed their form and were joined by new, the so-called modern threats. The reduction of military expenditure contributes to the weaker security of the citizens and a stunted defence pillar, which proved to be the case in the recent threat to the national security, namely the migrant crisis. During that period, even the Commander-in-Chief, President Borut Pahor drew attention to the lack of readiness of the Slovenian Armed Forces and the low level of national security. In addition to the deteriorating Slovenian defence system, EU institutions and NATO have in the recent years also provided poor assistance with regard to certain threats to national security, which makes the self-sufficiency in the national security system all the more important.
