And yet the name itself is North Atlantic Treaty Organization, because one of the serious issues that we have now is this potential for the US, and it came up again during the week, to go after Greenland.

Does this present an existential threat to what NATO was supposed to be all about?

OK, I think it's important, though, sitting where I am today, which is in Ireland, and obviously we're not a NATO member, but we are a part of the European Union and obviously a part of the European continent.

And when Ukraine was stripped of this a while ago from the US, how different it was in comparison to now.

It does seem that Europe has substantial combat power, but there is a building block here that the US has, which isn't necessarily related to money, but that intelligence could be the real sticking point.
