Agreed. Spain too for that matter. What good are they to NATO ? And why are they even in NATO?

Back in 1998, John Gaddis warned in the New York Times that shutting Russia out of the Western fold (instead of finding it a place like Germany and Japan were offered after 1945), would lead to major consequences. It now reads less like an op-ed and more like a prophecy.Bill Clinton, eager to keep NATO on life support, chose instead to make Moscow the indispensable enemy. After all, what is a military bloc without a foe to justify the payroll?The State Department’s insistence that Russia “wouldn’t react” was, in Gaddis’s dry aside, as believable as pigs taking to the skies. A quarter of a century later, we are living in the long echo of that choice.
