I actually disagree with you on this. Extending NATO Article 5 protections to an ever-expanding list of countries is shockingly dangerous. Smaller countries feel secure that they have the protection of the US nuclear umbrella, and tend to take rash actions.
Here's a recent example where Lithuania began blocking the arrival of goods from the Russian mainland to the Russian territory of Kaliningrad (https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1628780/what-is-happening-between-lithuania-russia-evg)
This kind of tension can easily escalate into a hot war. Lithuania would never dare to block Russian goods if they didn't assume they would have NATO protections.
Lithuania just did what the EU sanction demanded moron.

Hey man, I was just respectfully disagreeing with you. No need to call names. It really diminishes your argument when you have to resort to pathetic behavior like that.
My original point still stands. The United States lending out its nuclear umbrella to the entirety of the EU is a dangerous situation. I don't believe in risking nuclear war for some economic sanctions. But hey, that's just my opinion. It has no consequence because I'm a nobody :)
