You add that all up, if South Sudan is not a failed state, it is certainly a state which has badly failed its people.

I think that is just one aspect of this.

It is going to take more than sanctioning six individuals.

I cannot imagine what you saw 15 years ago.

Montenegro's parliament and people remain committed to the Alliance.

We cannot have a discussion about NATO without highlighting the increasingly negative role Russia is playing in the Balkans and across much of Eurasia.
