For years, we have heard warnings that Europe needs to contribute more to NATO's capability.
We will continue to be a big contributor to NATO and our interests will be more secure.
It will be undertaken, of course, in the June or July summit, and then to bring NATO closer to Russia or vice versa is a way to move toward integration - toward the integration of Europe.
It is possible there will be much less support for NATO because there is a lot of identification of the United States with NATO.

NATO has been a thread throughout my life.
Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.
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.
If we get the capabilities, NATO, along with the European Union, can do amazing things.
NATO's essentially run by the United States.
