America bailing on Afghanistan not enough evidence they’re not a long term ally for their short term partners?
The NATO border can more readily be defended by actual member states should that be required in the “forever war of Russian expansion” that Hugh assures us will happen if Russia didn’t stick to any agreements on a settlement in Ukraine. At some point they’ll just accept the sunk costs and move on. Russia won’t be pushed back to 2022 borders without assistance that won’t come.
These are all reasonable beliefs to hold despite the slurs that will inevitably come my way.
