JUST IN: NATO Head Warns U.S. Security at Risk if Russia Defeats Ukraine

With Russia continuing its unprovoked war in Ukraine and members of Congress at loggerheads over whether to provide additional military aid to the besieged nation, the head of NATO warned the United States that Russian victory in Ukraine will embolden other malign actors to threaten American interests.

Jens Stoltenberg, NATO secretary general, painted an ominous picture of “dangerous times” and global threats “seeking to undermine” opportunity and prosperity and trample global rules “that keep us safe,” speaking at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., Jan. 31.

While he called China “the most serious long-term challenge,” he said Russia is the “most immediate one.”

“Putin has brought war back to Europe on a scale not seen since the second World War,” he said, “and is developing new strategic weapons to threaten the United States and its allies.”

While this might well be true, I doubt his real concern is the security of the US.  His real concern for the US is how much money they continue to pour into what has been a mostly worthless institution without US support.

True, but that baby is 60 some years old now and it's time to grow up.  It's like so many other kids/adults these days who aren't capable of living on their own so live with their parents.  In this case, the taxpayers.
