It could be argued that the US's (lack of) reaction to Russian occupation of Crimea and its lack of involvement in the situation between Russia and Turkey has eroded the guarantee that NATO is supposed to provide.
- votepaunchy 9y agoNeither the Ukraine nor Turkey are NATO members and have no bearing on the NATO guarantee.
- somewhatoff 9y agoTurkey is very definitely a NATO member, and has been since 1952.
- muninn_ 9y agoNot much the Us can do about Turkey. Crimea is far more complicated than can be discussed reasonably here. Germany though, is a whole different ball game. There are different tiers of countries in the view of the US. Countries like Germany, are in the tier of "we will go to war if you declare war against them". Even if Trump is president. He is right to question the alliances, though.
