If President Putin decides the Estonians need a lesson, and sends troops to teach it, the United States, under NATO, would have to treat Russian intervention in Estonia as an attack upon the United States, and declare war on behalf of Estonia.

So we come face to face with the idiocy of having moved NATO onto Russia's front porch, and having given war guarantees to three little nations with historic animosities toward a nuclear power that has the ability to inflict 1,000 times the destruction upon us as Iran.

Let's put it this way: this army is going to stay around anyway, so why not have it do its' job -- especially since in this case the job does not involve actually doing anything?
Speaking of Taiwan in particular, they are in fact quite able to pay for much of what they need themselves -- if we would only sell them, iirc.

Если армию воспринимать как природное бедствие, которое всё равно уже произошло, тогда конечно.
