Ivo Daalder: “You now have a road map for Europeanizing NATO that you never had before.”

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.

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 would be a very sad mistake. If the United States were the country that said no, we`re not going to support that because of our internal political differences.

NATO has stood the test of time. Mr. Putin has just ensured that it will continue to do so.
