Today’s title question was both asked and answered yesterday by our friend Jim Geraghty at National Review. The title of his piece was, “Germany’s not the reliable NATO ally Joe Biden makes it out to be.” Well, that seems fairly straightforward, but what’s the reasoning behind that conclusion?

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said providing Ukraine with the firepower to beat back Russian invaders should be the alliance’s priority, even as NATO pushes its members to increase their military capabilities, such as devoting at least 2% of their GDP to national defense. During an unannounced visit Monday to Kyiv, Mr. Stoltenberg saluted the Ukrainian […]
The U.S. ambassador to NATO, Julianne Smith, doesn’t expect the alliance to offer membership to Ukraine during its 75th anniversary summit in Washington in July.

The anniversary comes as NATO members grapple with plans to provide more military support to Kyiv, which […]
BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO marked on Thursday 75 years of collective defense across Europe and North America, with its top diplomats vowing to stay the course in Ukraine as better armed Russian troops assert control on the battlefield.
