Stephen Wertheim: The West Cannot Ignore Role NATO Expansion Played in Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
After the closing of a major NATO summit in Lithuania, President Biden vowed to support Ukraine and warned the war may continue for a long time, before flying to Finland, the newest member of NATO, which shares an 830-mile border with Russia. The goal of this summit may have been to make Ukraine seem more aligned with NATO, but "they actually revealed that the alliance was split" when they did not offer a timeline for Ukraine's membership, says Stephen Wertheim, senior fellow in the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Wertheim says the real result of this summit was Ukraine moving to an "armed neutrality" or "Israel model," where international allies supply long-term economic and security assistance to the country. The NATO summit also resulted in a communiqué criticizing China's growing military power, saying Beijing's actions are threatening the security.
