If nothing else, it demonstrates the utter fecklessness of many of our NATO allies. They weren’t pulling their weight before the breakup of the USSR, and they’ve ignored their defense budgets since then. I’m getting pretty tired of paying taxes to defend Europe because the Europeans are unwilling to do so.

Military logistics is a long lead time business even in normal times. After a pandemic with supply chain shortages, it’s even worse. After three decades of peace dividends, our NATO allies don’t have much military capability to offer.
