Couldn't the same thing be said about Taiwan? Granted they never poke the Chinese and there is no NATO umbrella or an Article 5.  Taiwan is equipped to fight alone according to one of their officers who spoke to us back in the AFROTC days. It was a female officer who gave us the go at it alone speech.

The same thing can't even be said of Montenegro. The North Atlantic Treaty is a defensive collective security treaty. Nothing obliges any member state to aid another member state that starts a fight. 

Re: Taiwan, no, not even close. We have no collective or mutual defense treaty with Taiwan anymore (post-1970s One China policy). The relevant law is the Taiwan Relations Act (1979) which requires the President “to inform the Congress promptly of any threat to the security or the social or economic system of the people on Taiwan and any danger to the interests of the United States arising therefrom” and that the “President and the Congress shall determine, in accordance with constitutional processes, appropriate action by the United States in response to any such danger.” So even if Taiwan gets attacked, we're not obligated to do more than think about responding.

ugh

Let's just say the this administration makes being a US dude assigned in NATO right now...interesting.

Everyone is glossing over the fact that the US has majorly stepped up not only its exercises in and with NATO countries, but also it's financial and military inputs directly into the Eastern European region.

It's all open source, but people are just too eager to see how badly Trump said something or what protocol he spoiled yesterday to notice that the administration he's a part of is pumping some serious support into this part of the world.

There is a serious point here.  All the border countries have anteed up, while those on the other side of the 'buffer zone' created by those countries haven't.  Are we on the same team or not? 

Any student of history can see exactly where this is going, with or without all the Putin-Trump crap.

The article is titled that way. I must agree it's dramatic, hence I posted it here. Seems like every article about the president is this way.
