US-NATO Relations
May 16, 2025•210 words
🇺🇸🇪🇺 American Liberals will propose new legislation that reconfirms the USA is committed to NATO and will honor Article 5 if it makes our European allies feel more secure.
We all clearly need to increase defense spending right now. There are wars breaking out all over the world, so I am not upset with the president's insistence on defense spending. Increasing defense spending make NATO stronger, not weaker. I feel safer with a stronger NATO. I want NATO to become as strong as possible, as quickly as possible, so I like Trump's defense spending nagging to be honest.
The USA has not abandoned Ukraine either. President Trump quietly approved the transfer of hundreds of long-range missiles and Patriot missiles to Ukraine.
I don't agree with any of Trump's concessions to Russia, but I know that those concessions will be reversed by the next administration. Anything Trump does that we don't like will be reversed in 2029. Ukraine's NATO membership will be back on the table, Ukraine will be allowed to join the EU when they complete their reforms, and Russia will be required to return all of their ill-gotten gains to Ukraine.
One way or another Russia will be defeated. American Liberals are committed to it.
