Ukraine wasn’t NATO.
All of this Breedlove and war drums in NATO is designed to do one thing. Its a raindance for the defense industry, designed to bring back the defense spending of the cold war. Nothing more.

"Ukraine wasnt NATO."
Ummm I never said they were. They and Georgia have made overtures to be in NATO but it's never going to happen as long as they are unstable. However, the Baltic states are in nato. I said Ukraine was a test and it's a test to see what the U.S. and western Europe would do and we failed the test or in Putin's eyes, he was successful.
We do need to up the spending on our military. Spend to keep the peace or you will be spending to wage war later.
