Discuss the current state of Europe's collective security and the potential consequences of a Russian intervention in the Baltics.
While Trump is a dangerous fool, the fact remains that nothing has prevented Europe from thinking seriously about enhancing its own collective security.  Since Clinton's presidency the United States has encouraged such trends, to no effect.  Expansion of NATO to eastern Europe seemed so easy when Russia was weak, but now looks like a mistake as Russia becomes stronger.  Trump should keep his mouth shut, but somebody, somewhere, needs to ask: what are we really prepared to do if/when the Russians move on the Baltics?  My guess is nothing.  This isn't Roosevelt's America.  It isn't even Nixon's.  It's Loudmouth Hee-Haw America.
