This should have been the conclusion in *2016*.
If the US system remains trapped in an endless knife fight between a party of good government and a party of nihilistic governance then Europeans need to accept that the US will no longer be a stable partner long after Trump is gone
I'd just like to point out that we spent an entire shipment of air defense interceptors' worth of money on new signs for a name change that isn't even legally the name of the DoD.

Entièrement d’accord. Ces violations de frontières ne sont pas des provocations mais des tests. Y réagir mollement accroît le danger. La dissuasion implique de convaincre qu’on a la volonté d’agir. La faiblesse est dangereuse. Car viendra le moment où le test du jour sera l’invasion d’un pays allié.

“Deep concerns” are useless.
The other NATO countries must act in the same way as soon as this happens again. Otherwise, russia will continue and go further.
Such a response is key to credible deterrence.
