Anyone who disparages the future of NATO or the importance of the American role in the alliance is strategically short sited.

NATO is not an alliance that can be judged by a single election cycle or a single strategy document. It must be understood in decades. And over those decades, NATO has always pulled through periods of tension or "alliance fatigue." lnk.thebulwark.com/4pAE7qK
This Isn’t the End of NATO
There’s a reason every previous prediction of the alliance’s dissolution was wrong.

Reminder: When John McCain, a war hero and sitting senator, died, Trump refused to lower the White House flags to half-staff. Only after enormous pressure from John Kelly and others did he grudgingly order them lowered.

The government are struggling to balance the books due to their own policies, and are boxed in by their own Labour MPs (including Crawley's) who won't allow a reduction in the future growth of welfare benefits, or any meaningful reductions in spending.
