Ever heard of the EU?

@catfish1957

Sure have. Kinda a "Johnny Come Lately" organization created to lessen US influence on world affairs?

What you state makes perfect sense if we functioned as an equal particpant, instead as the financial underwriter and controlling the strings.  This has never been the U.S.'s intent, 

@catfish1957

And who's fault is that?

THE HILL
Schumer, McConnell pressing administration to rush paperwork on Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership
by Olafimihan Oshin - 05/23/22 10:18 AM ET

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) plan to present a resolution that will press the Biden administration to rush the paperwork for Finland and Sweden to join NATO.

In the resolution text, first obtained by Politico, both Senate leaders note the roles played by the Nordic countries in organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union, and their neutral stance on matters pertaining to Europe as reasons why they should join the alliance.

The resolution calls on President Biden to move swiftly to complete all necessary documents involving both countries’ NATO membership so the Senate can advance the measure, also calling on fellow NATO members to swiftly complete their own ratification processes.

It is being submitted by McConnell and Schumer along with a number of leading Senate voices on Ukraine aid, including Sens. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.). ...

McConnell's bedfellows.
