“ Finland’s joining NATO would shake up the security order in Europe, both for NATO and for Russia. It's a very, very long border, and of course it brings NATO very close to — or will bring NATO if it all goes through — very close to St. Petersburg.

“ China’s siding with Russia and blaming NATO is absolutely unacceptable for most of Central and Eastern Europe.

“ We now are really seeing the true impact of deep, deep political polarization, where it is better to harm the other side than do what’s right for the country. This deep domestic polarization has now crept into foreign and security policy. There has always been strong bipartisan support for NATO, but everything now has become polarized and can be weaponized against the other side, even if it supports U.S. national security interests.”
