I believe I saw General Jones on television today, and he was talking about the request to various NATO allies for the 15%. He was saying this was not an act of desperation; it was already in the plan. But the fact is that there are no commitments for that 15%.
The question is awkward, but would it be prudent for NATO to go all out in the kind of combat we've seen, believing the fulfillment of that 15% was important to the battle or battles, and yet not have firm commitments from NATO allies before the expansion into the south and the kinds of battles that are taking place?
