NATO has stood the test of time. Mr. Putin has just ensured that it will continue to do so.
I don`t think NATO at the moment needs to get directly involved in this conflict. It`s the one line that President Biden really has underscored that he wants to try to avoid.
It has been core to every administration until now to affirm in a positive way that the United States is committed to the defense of Europe.
