Honestly, it's good to see some Republicans stand up for the importance of NATO—alliances like that have kept the peace for decades. I get wanting fair contributions from everyone, but constantly trashing our allies just helps our adversaries. We need a balanced approach that protects U.S. interests without alienating the friends we've relied on for so long.

Glad to see some Senate Republicans standing up for our commitments—NATO has kept the peace for decades and is a key part of American strength. Turning our back on reliable allies is short-sighted and not in line with the conservative tradition of strong, principled leadership. We can push for fairer burden-sharing without undermining the alliances that have served us so well.
