That's a different topic. I'm just making it clear that it's not just about Ukraine.

The Baltics (and Poland) are currently in NATO, which means the US has signed a treaty that states is committed to defending them.



Those countries weren’t part of nato when we signed the treaty. Whatever sense the original treaty made, countries have treated nato membership as a way to outsource their defense to the US, and the treaty makes no sense today.


Then write your congressperson. I'm just explaining the current policy rationale.

Which isn't random, and has nothing to do with Dick Cheney.
