Biden to host NATO summit geared at ‘managing expectations’

The most memorable part of last year’s NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania happened before it even began.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, upset that his country wouldn’t get a timeline for membership, scolded the alliance online.


“Ukraine also deserves respect,” he wrote.

In order to avoid a repeat of last year, the 2024 summit in Washington has been much more closely coordinated. Multiple European officials told Defense News that planning began months earlier than usual. And many delegations are using the same slogan: “Managing expectations.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Biden will host it, huh?  I'll bet messages are flying around NATO members about where and when they will meet to do real work without him around? :pondering:

'managing expectations' = you can't count on America to have your back

Anyone remember the old MADtv lowered expectations skits? Seems appropriate.
