But just as NATO expansion continued to “keep the Russians out,” it continued to “keep the Americans in,” deeply invested in maintaining European peace and stability. Under US leadership, NATO provided the space for a new, post-Soviet normalcy to take hold. Within NATO’s borders, peace has reigned for 70 years. Germany, once such a hateful menace, abandoned its murderous, militaristic ways.
