In an underground archive below NATO's headquarters lies a key document that sets out the vision of both NATO and Russia about their future ties, as it was shaped almost a quarter of a century ago. The room is not open. The gloves must be white. NATO and Russia don't consider each other adversaries. The NATO-Russia Founding Act states that they share the goal of overcoming the vestiges of earlier confrontation and competition. Relations between Moscow and the West had begun to thaw after the collapse of the Iron Curtain. With millions of people forced from their homes and thousands of Ukrainians hiding in a series of underground shelters, the document appears to be a dead letter. The post-Cold War period was marked by a time of defense spending cuts as the threat from Moscow diminished. NATO and Russia made pledges about their military activities. They committed to limit the deployment of their forces in Europe. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that Europe's biggest land war in decades will change our security. In talks at NATO's headquarters, the US Defense Secretary and his counterparts are considering what to do with the organization's eastern flank, from the north through Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland to Bulgaria and Romania. For the duration of the war, the aim is to deter Putin from ordering an invasion of any of the allies, but for the next 5 to 10 years. Before launching it, Putin demanded that NATO stop expanding and withdraw from the east. The opposite is happening. We are reinforcing our collective defense with hundreds of thousands of troops on heightened alert, 100,000 U.S. troops in Europe and 40,000 NATO troops in the eastern part of the alliance. The NATO military commanders are expected to draw up options for stationing troops more permanently and in a larger number in the east, unlike the rotating battle groups that have deployed to the Baltic states and Poland in recent years. NATO leaders will study those options at their next major summit in June. The opinion of the US President and his NATO counterparts about the state of the NATO-Russia Founding Act could not be clearer. In a statement last month, the leaders said that Russia had walked away from its commitments under the NATO-Russia Founding Act. President Putin's decision to attack Ukraine is a terrible strategic mistake, for which Russia will pay a severe price, both economically and politically, for years to come. President Biden signed a government funding bill on Tuesday that gave the U.S. $180 million in security assistance to the Baltic nations.
