I don’t know what was in the water at the latest NATO summit, but something got Trump to be cooperative. Perhaps it had something to do with Mark Rutte greasing his wheels.

Mark Rutte, the former Dutch PM, wasn’t just working his magic on Trump, he secured buy-in from several other leaders with his flattery and strategic diplomacy. This helped pre-summit defense spending agreements get formalized and saw countries like Germany step into a leadership role.

Even if all that comes from the summit is that the US stays (minimally) committed to NATO and Europe continues to ramp up defense, Russia is in trouble. The balance of power in this region is shifting, and should Europe continue navigating this diplomacy game effectively, the Russian position gets muddy quickly.
