It's a large and complicated world. Most leaders understand the importance of resolving domestic and foreign affairs. Pres. Biden has done an excellent job navigating a complex world. Remember the absolute chaos he inherited from the previous psychopath? People are naive to think you can resolve all those problems in 3 1/2 years. It takes time, but we are on the right path, thankfully!!!

When we send equipment to Ukraine we send old stuff that needs to be replace, we then buy new stuff for our own use. Also, even when we don’t send aid, we don’t help our own, republicans just give the rich more tax breaks.

Keep moving forward NATO 👍
Stoltenberg: "The transatlantic relationship has weathered many storms. We are bound together, not only by interest but also by history, tradition, and values. But our alliance should not be taken for granted. It was not a given in 1949. It is not a given now. And it will not be a given in the decades to come." It seems to me that NATO has been alliance of those nations led by European peoples, and that there is a building antagonism to them by other peoples. As Stotelberg lists these antagonists (Iran, North Korea and China) it is clear they are non-European. Africa and Latin America seem ambivalent. The informal inclusion of Japan and South Korea is a healthy step in broadening the history and shared values (e.g. Equality, Liberty, Democracy and Rule of law) beyond Eurocentric nations, and hopefully there will be more of this in the decades to come. The main challenge for NATO, in terms of the growing anti-European sentiment, is the legacy of colonialism and the climate emergency brought on be European industrial-capitalism. Beyond the military-industrial technology, the ability of all nations to manage resource and climate pressures will determine our shared security and the prospects for peace and prosperity.
