Yes. They are modern and well developed. But we have the military might that anchors NATO. Or, at least, we USED to be that anchor.NATO consists of 32 members, modern, well developed countries of Europe and Northern America. The US are but one of them. Right now the US, IMO spiralling right into totalitarian dictature and economical insanity, is not an anchor. It's, IMO, the balast that drags NATO down and disables it's functioning. Russia is a danger to multiple NATO members, yet NATO can't do much, being blocked in it's initiatives by the US. That is not being anchor, that's putting stick into wheel. IMO, of course.
I agree we are putting a stick into the wheel. But without our military backing, there isn’t a complete wheel. NATO is in grave danger of collapse.
