Will NATO Die Aged 70? Is NATO experiencing a temporary crisis comparable to those that have already punctuated its history, or are we helpless observers of a slow agony that will lead to the final death of the organization?

I think you are generally correct but the Russian "influence" is generally overstated.

Trump is much less "bought off" by Russia than that he sees many similar interests.

It absolutely flabbergasts me the attitude certain people have taken about Russia. This was a country that was our literal mortal enemy for half a century. And now that we have a President willing and able to do his best to make nice (while many differences still exist), those same certain people want to politicize that relationship -- those same certain people who even in my lifetime still idolized Russia for its communist ways.
