32 Nation but only man matters

NATO tops are usually “pre-cooked”, not at least a front to present.

The Secretary of Mark Rutte is already located on the menu for the Meeting of Hague: the most powerful member of the NATO, the US will avoid a row.

Donald Trump wants Donald Trump wants, and he will get that. Even inevitably compromise and fudge will be added components.

It is also not the peak of cracks between trump and trade, cracks between its numerous ally between Russia and the Middle East conflict climber.

The President of the US, the first of Mantra America, is not a huge fan of multinationals.

NATO has also been very critical to question the very basis of collective defense. During the first tenure of Trump, the summit of NATO, he had taken over the allies of Europe for not being spent enough and due to large sums of money in the US.

That message has at least consistent.

Mark Rutte has had a good relationship with the President of the US, has worked hard to give victory.

The summit is done for two days in the World Hague Forum, next week on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Now the main debates will last three hours and reduces the summit expression to five paragraphs due to the demands of the US president.

Trump is a 32 most west defense boss, coming, along with more than a dozen partners.

Dutch police have assembled the largest security operation ever for the most expensive nato peaks at a cost of 183.4 million euros (£ 155 million; $ 210 million).

Some have recommended that the peak oven is like the care of the US president and long meetings. But with fewer subjects discussed with fewer issues, the most important thing will help hide the divisions.

Ed Arnold, Defense Think Tank Rusi, said Trump to be the star of the show and predicts that European nations predict that European nations predict.

In fact, it is not the first US president to criticize the expenditure of the allied defense. But most of them has been more successful. Kurt Volker, a former U.S. Ambassador recognized that some European governments do not like the way Trump wants.

Europe realizes only 30% of the total military spending of NATO. Volker says that many Europeans accept “We had to do this, even if he had to be unhappy.”

Some European nations already promote their defense to 5% of GDP. Most are countries that live in close proximity to Russia, such as Poland, Estonia and Lithuania.

The trumpet that is turning on the pressure is not only. Vladimir Putin’s Russian president is forcing an answer to the invasion of Ukraine.

But in fact, many of the members of the NATO will make an effort to fulfill the new goal. A few do not meet the target of 2%, set more than a decade ago.

Rutte’s Commitment Formula Allies is a basic defense of transusing 3.5% of GDP to the expense of 1.5% to defense costs.

But the definition of defense-related expenditure seems to be so blurry, that it can be meaningless. Rutte said he could have the cost of the infrastructure industry – Building bridges, roads and railways. Ed Arnold, Rusi, said he will inevitably bring more “creative accounting”.

As expected, even if the new spending goal is accepted, some nations can have little intention to reach – 2032 or 2035. Until the year. Timescale is not yet clear. The Spanish Prime Minister has already called unconscious and counterproductive. Sir Keir Starmer does not say that the UK will spend 3% of the UK GDP. The UK Prime Minister said it was a long time in the next Parliament. However, Government of the UK will see the policy in the heart of the UK defense policy, Sir Keir must return a new plan.

The real risk is to interpret the demand for increasing defense spending, as a symbolic gesture, or bending the US pressure. NATO’s defense plans are also driven by Russia how to attack an attack. Rutte himself said Russia could attack NATO to a country in five years.

These defensive plans are kept secret. But Rutte has already determined what is missing the alliance. In a conference this month, NATO had to rose 400% in the defense of his air and missile: thousands of vehicles and armored tanks, and millions of artillery shells.

Most Member States, including the United Kingdom, have not yet met NATO competency commitments. Therefore, it intends to double the size of the Swedish army and plans to promote its troop numbers in Germany.

The plans are included in granular details that the alliance will defend the eastern wings to invade Russia. In a last conference, the U.S. Army heads, General Donahue Christopher, was highlighted the need to defend the territory of Polish and Lithuania next to the Russian enclaves of Kaliningrad. The alliance studied existing abilities and “realizing that they are not very fast.”

However, specific debates about Russia and the Ukrainian war will be silent. It is a great topic that divides Europe and America. Kurt Volker says, Under Trump, US “They will not see Ukrainian safety is essential for European security, but our European Allies.”

Trump has already broken a Front of NATO by talking to Putin and retain military support to Ukrainian.

Ed Arnold said that the controversial topics were removed from the top. It is not the least to avoid with the horn. Leaders would discuss a new Russian strategy, but it’s not the agenda.

Volodymyr Zelensky president of Ukraine has invited the summit to dinner, but will not take part in the main discussions of the North Atlantic Council.

Rutte expects the first clerk that will be short and sweet. But Trump in Russia with most of his allies, with the greatest threat in front of the alliance, is not the warranty to go according to the plan.
