Pay up for Nato or shut it down

Philip Stephens, The Financial Times (USA)
Mr Rasmussen is parti pris, but his speech at last month’s Munich Security Conference made as good a case as I have heard for sticking together. He acknowledged, though, the rather significant snag. A Nato properly “prepared” to confront new threats requires military capabilities. They have to be paid for. No one wants to pick up the bill.
