>But in light of recent events in Eastern Europe, the US is starting to look like a less-than-reliable backstop. I think that Poland is somewhat satisfied with the response the US had at least in Poland and other NATO allies, which was stationing more troops there. The US is tied in how far it will be willing to go to countries outside of its NATO commitments. Ukraine wasn't simply worth going to war over Russia with. I don't think that anyone doubts the US' resolve to follow through with its NATO commitments.
