The ability of the United States to reassure allies that it’s willing to destroy itself in a nuclear war to defend them is a difficult case to make under the best of circumstances.

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.
