NATO is not an act of charity. NATO is an act of self-interest and self-defense.

I think shocking is how far they believe now they can get away with this in our nation, as witnessed in what happened in the election.

I believe that every Nation has a right to defend itself.

We have the European Deterrence Initiative as an effort to show, from a military point of view, we are prepared to stand up to Russia.
