interpreted treaty commitments

This has compelled, as is visibly evident, the European members of NATO to raise military spending and possibly a common defence that is independent of Washington. Just as Washington interpreted treaty commitments to Pakistan flexibly in the 1960s, the US has done similarly with NATO and Ukraine. Although Kyiv is not a member of NATO, it received generous military support for three years until Trump decided to threaten its dilution and reinterpret the conditions of support to NATO. Washington’s military support for a non-treaty partner such as Ukraine is significant and remarkable because there are no examples of the US extending such assistance to any non-treaty partner. While the progress of the war is grindingly slow for Russia, there are absolutely no tangible battlefield gains evident for Kyiv. สล็อต
