I believe the essential issue to be that NATO was over-extended when Russia was weak and none of the Neo Cons involved ever stopped to ask the question: Would we really defend such a country at crunch time against a nuclear power?

I agree. Wars start over such miscalculations.

No one will ever die over Narva.

NATO is a bloated organization without nowhere near the resources to adequately defend every member country.

We would do well to drop every country east of Germany and get back to NATO’s core mission of defending the West, which is sustainable.

A NATO of 28 is far less credible for Western security than a NATO of 12.

"Wars start over such miscalculations"

1914 all over again. Entangling alliances over nothing that matters to most of the American People.
