The NATO alliance is history’s most successful defensive partnership. It retains high value for the United States. But not all NATO allies are made equal. Some allies won’t adequately commit resources or military forces to deter common enemies. Their number includes Belgium, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, and Spain.
The six million people of Denmark offer a very different example, however. Denmark lost the U.S. population equivalent of 2,152 soldiers fighting alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, the country is once again underscoring its importance to NATO and America by purchasing long-range missiles.
