Subject: Re: 23 NATO Allies Meet Spending Targets
You should be thanking Putin.

I wish I could rec this 10x. Yes, the NATO allies were somewhat complacent after the fall of the USSR, and the formation of the EU. Putin shook them awake. Now they are meeting, and in some cases exceeding, their targets. Plus we've added Finland and Sweden, and the Ukraine is firmly OFF the fence about joining NATO (the question is whether or not they could qualify).

All thanks to Putin. Neither Trump nor Biden can take credit. Though at least Biden doesn't repeatedly threaten to leave NATO.
