Can this be the most significant NATO from the cold war?

When the world maintains his breath, the US launched direct attacks on the nuclear sites of Iran, the President of the Donald Trump is expected to the NATO peak on Tuesday.

Trump will be re-elected to be the first meeting of NATO. In the past, he has made comments about alliance members to eliminate US security guarantees. European allies are desperately desperate to prove. They expect to persuade continental troops or US skills.

“Relationships with Europe has been so squeezed since the Trump returned to the White House, a few weeks ago, we were not sure that going to the summit,” a high-level diplomacy – he told me.

“When you see the western weakness with Russia and China, it would be a ruin.”

But Moscow and Beijing can do harm.

This peak designed by the Secretary of NATO Mark Rutte mainly around the Tramp. He wanted to agree on massive walks in defense expenses to show that Europeans would have greater responsibility for their safety.

Rutte also hoped that the meeting was constantly focused on the monetary, which prevented the clashes or explosions between Trump and its allies.

Carefully established plan to break.

According to Iran’s next movement, the U.S. Commander can decide at the last minute to stay in the state of Washington.

If it comes to Europe, as expected, how will it be possible to talk about the Middle East when in the game? This would present the risk of falling between the US President and European Allies, who defended diplomacy on the bombing when he arrived in Iran.

Trump has won and is very thin. He doesn’t want to feel condescending at NATO’s meeting.

One by one, he secured the header area at the summit, European countries committed to spend 5% of GDP in defense. As he asked for his first weeks in the White House.

“This peak is about credibility,” what is the US Ambassador, NATO, Matthew Whitaker puts it.

However, Spain claimed it on Sunday that he was sure to make sure of the new spending plan.

Other European allies that are struggling to get cash in cash is white.

The bottom line is: Europe must have great military and nuclear power. This is how Rutte got Corral Reirl leaders – Bar Spain – Registration on the new boost of great expenses. Is a mass engagement.

As Julianne Smith said the former US Ambassador to NATO, he told me, then there is no guarantee with Trump.

There was no clear USA if they were enrolled in the U.S. high-level statement this week, identifying that Russia is the main threat to NATO alliance.

The US reliability has shaken through his latest sponsor by pressure on Moscow and Kyiv, when he tried to end the war in Ukraine.

Also, on Friday night, you can almost listen to grinding teeth in Europe, after the trump justified a horrible defense of 5% defense, the allies demanded that he was exempt from its commitment.

“I don’t think we have, but I think,” he said. “We had so long nato … so I don’t think we need it, but I think NATO countries are completely”. “

Then again, European leaders should mostly prepare better in terms of self-defense.

It is likely the most smooth and unpredictable, but Trump has no first US president, especially military care and investment to other European priority sites, especially indo-pacific. President Obama was very clear in 2011.

The USA has nuclear weapons stored in Italy, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. 100,000 fighting troops are available in Europe, in the countries I am in Eastern Europe, sent by President Bid, after the invasion of the Russian invasion of Russia.

The continent may be deficient in troop numbers, especially with Germany and Poland, in the coming years to promote their territory forces. But the dependency to Europe is deeper, Malcolm Chalmers, the General Sub-Directorate of the Royal United Services Institute.

He has been confident in Washington to gain intelligence collection, care, air skills and authority and control. The US carried out the role of Naton Leadership, moving members and forces together.

Asian US military is scarce and necessary skills, Mr. Chalmers. If removed from Europe, they would take a very long time to repeat.

Somptly, many countries in Europe prevented, for example, to spread the French nuclear umbrella, in fact, fearing that the US could say: “Well, you don’t need it!” Off! “

Now, Europe is forced to make a greater security responsibility, in addition to trying to persuade Washington, decides to retire from the US president to a greater or smaller extent.

No one knows what trump intentions. The Nato leaders of Europe recently relieved, when his administration announced the US Air Force Lensen Alexus Grynkewich General NATO’s NATO NATO’s Natus. He involved commitment to defense alliance.

But Washington is making a military expenditure and a review of defense. Notes are expected in the fall. It is thought that there will be a new Ukrainian-US financing. And it is likely that the first forces to take the 20,000 extraordinary troops in Europe from the continent.

However, Poland said that this week’s NATO will go to the summit of trust in a mood. In contrast to Spain, Warsove believes that his national income defense (4.7% of GDP currently) learn any other NATO. Objectives, Europe is to build the most powerful earthy army.

In the cold war, Poland lived under the shade of the Soviet Union. Country residents in Ukraine. It is not difficult to convince the main preference for defense.

For politicians from countries farther away from Russia, the argument is a greater challenge. Spanish media has been full of speculations Disagreements of defense expenses in the country’s precarious coalition government.

Both Trump is trying to agree on his defense spending requests, NATO proposes to divide 5% of the revenue in two parts: 3.5% of the annual annual income to be spent on “defense-related” matters, such as investing in cyber security.

This has an additional allowance that matches 3.4% of GDP in Europe.

But, if you play with the figures, we are talking about governments that need to spend more than a billion in defense. Money needs to come somewhere.

New taxes – Estonia has tried a method, or more loans, which will be very expensive, already a large amount of government debt for Italian countries. Another option is to reduce welfare expenditure: “guns or butter” or “tanks or pensions” are known as the economy.

With the revision of strategic defense, the public emphasized that the public needs more military expenditure, but Mr. Chalmers says, nor other European governments are not prepared for the elections to the exchanges that will require new defense investments.

The schedule for achieving 5% goal is key. NATO allies have called a 7-10-year-old window. NATO’s Secretary General suggested that it could be too late. Many Moscow economy at the base of the war, Russia will be able to attack a country in five years.

Defending Europe is not what it is spent on governance. It is important that what they spend money.

It is a great weakness in Europe that there are 278 different types of weapons systems and 17 different differences in different differences, for example. National defense contracts are ignored and proudly, and the collection of European resources on behalf of efficiency is yet another discussion thorn.

So what exact results can we expect?

It is much depends on the man who reaches the Netherlands.

Trump Ambassador NATO said it could be a historic meeting.

It is a “moment of water”, how he put me on a diplomat “and probably” the most significant peak of NATO from the cold war “.
