If we get the capabilities, NATO, along with the European Union, can do amazing things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We also have a real opportunity to join NATO.
For years, we have heard warnings that Europe needs to contribute more to NATO's capability.
NATO's essentially run by the United States.
We will continue to be a big contributor to NATO and our interests will be more secure.
The United States, obviously, has a great interest in helping to maintain peace and security in Europe, and we have a formal alliance, NATO, to do so.
Within NATO, our Defence Capabilities Initiative has identified the essential capabilities all Allies must have for modern operations, and Allies are working to meet those requirements.
Well, if the NATO countries don't make more of their troops usable and don't get the equipment to get them fast where the action is, then the organisation will suffer and will increasingly become irrelevant.
The European Army is our long-term goal. But first we have to strengthen the European Defence Union.
You know, it's been President Clinton's dream that we'll have finally a fully integrated Europe; and the steps that NATO will take to expand to the East, that's a commitment.
It is possible there will be much less support for NATO because there is a lot of identification of the United States with NATO.
