I think all the indications are that the Republicans are going to support NATO enlargement.
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.
Because then you’re at war, not just with Poland, or not just with Lithuania, you’re at war with the entire NATO Alliance, 30 nation strong led by the strongest military power on earth which is the United States.
