As an American, I feel very concerned about the "brinkmanship" game being played by Euro/UK politicians.

Its hard to tell: (a) Are they trying to goad Trump into providing more support for Ukraine by increasing the likelihood for war? (b) Or are they trying to push away Trump out of NATO so they can engage in some attempt at military self-determinism? (c) Or are the actually just completely incompetent while simultaneously having delusions of grandeur?

In a very weird way, their saving grace is that Putin probably wants to stay on Trumps good side throughout this. Trump has been the first western politician to offer an olive branch and seek to normalize relations, so trying to act respectful to Trumps public wishes for peace probably tempers Putins actions at the moment. Hopefully cooler heads prevail...

Regardless, its hard to see how NATO as an organization is going to survive this...
