Does anyone know / recall...
PDJT called for Euro NATO countries to increase their defense spending to 4%. Did that include a decrease for us (to NATO) (”yes”, I think), and if so, by how much?
That might seem like a moot point now, but, I’m curious as to what level of total NATO spending Pres. Trump considered adequate to deter Putin from adventures such as we are presently witnessing.
There is no question NATO “can” spend Russia into the dust - Russia’s GDP is not even 1/10 of NATO countries. Whether NATO countries have the will to do it, and spend wisely / effectively, is another matter...
Putin apologizing for Katyn would be a good start, and also revealing the truth about what really happened in Smolensk with President Kaczyński's plane.
Yes. Putin has said so himself. And in the next sentence will usually then remind us of his nukes. Blackmail, tho’ I question whether Putin really wants to go out as the one who finally destroys Russia (along with most of the rest of the planet).
Interesting website:
Example article:

I am not sure how accurately this site reflects Polish gov’t thinking / analysis (taken as a whole*)?
*Always a dicey endeavor.
Yes, I think so too.
He is not very popular and he knows it, so he prefers to strategize and rule from the background.
The death of his brother was a real tragedy. I really do not know who/what caused the crash?!
The Euros do underspend and this was another strength of Trump, getting them to up the ante.
However, the Euro AirForce and navies have exemplary technology advantages of the Russians and Chinese.
Belgium by itself is nothing, but if it spends more it can be a useful part of NATO
