The idea is that in times of crisis, we find out who are friends are.The longer this crisis stays in the front page news, the truth comes out.
Already the French with Marcon is saying that Europe needs to think of it own defense needs.
Many other large and important European states have stayed rather quiet.
The English always support the Americans, along with some smaller European states.
The Germans have not supported the Americans in this recent crisis. The Germans would not allow the English to use their air space to fly some armaments to the Ukraine. That kind of speaks volumes. No arms from Germany to Ukraine either.
If this split is real inside NATO, it can only get wider the longer this plays out.
Who's arming Ukraine: U.S., U.K., Baltic states — but not Germany
