There is really only one question that matters at the heart of the U.S. position toward Ukraine and NATO. It was asked halfway through the press conference with Jennifer Psaki today.
“Considering that NATO allies have not held up their own agreement to spend 2 percent of their own GDP on their military preparedness … if Europeans are not willing to expend their own blood and treasure on their own self-defense why should Americans be expected to do so?”
