that the American taxpayer, up to his eyes in debt, may not be prepared to
subsidised their security much longer.
The US has expended huge amounts of both blood and treasury, sometimes it
has to be said unwisely, as Europe largely sat on its hands making only
token gestures of political support.
Europe needs to take a greater share of the defence burden onto its budget
but of course if we do that then America must realise that the quid pro quo
will have to be a greater political influence over the actions that NATO
takes.
