Rightly demanding that the other NATO members contribute equitably is one thing, ignoring them and pretending he (Trump) can settle this with Putin alone, is quite another.
We Americans are ignoring one of the key takeaways of the 1938 Munich Agreement: a settlement made without the participation of a key player is inherently unstable.
