Today NATO is indeed outnumbered, outranged, and outgunned by Russia in Europe and beset by a number of compounding factors that make the situation worse. Having said that, it is possible to begin restoring a more robust deterrent posture and to do so at a price tag that appears affordable in the context of an alliance with an aggregate GDP of $35 trillion. The enlarged European Reassurance Initiative announced by the administration is a step in the right direction, though not a complete solution. Also, NATO’s European members must begin making the necessary investments to fulfill their commitments to the alliance’s collective defense; this is not just America’s problem.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The Latest on President Barack Obama’s meeting with top officials from six Arab nations in Saudi Arabia. (all times local):

The leaders have committed to accelerating efforts to field an early warning system for ballistic missiles. They have also finalized plans to undertake a U.S.-Gulf Cooperation Council military exercise in March 2017.
Other security initiatives resulting from the Riyadh summit include the pairing of elite special operations forces from each of the Gulf partners to work with U.S. trainers and an agreement to conduct joint maritime patrols.
The president has left Riyadh and is now flying to London.




The Latest: Obama: Leaders united in defeating IS group: 
"Obama say there’s a need for “consistent, institutionalized communication” with countries in the region because “the possibilities of misunderstanding increase when there’s so much activity taking place.”"

New questions arise about House Democratic caucus’s loyalty to Obama Friday June 12 th , 2015  at  10:24 PM 1 Share President Obama, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi at his side, leaves a meeting where he made a last-ditch appeal to House Democrats for his trade agenda on Friday in Washington. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters) Cheers rang out Thursday evening when President Obama made a surprise visit to the annual congressional baseball game at National Park. Thousands of Democratic staffers began to chant: “O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!” More unexpectedly, Republican lawmakers and staffers, who have been locked in battle with the president for more than six years, began a cheer of their own: “TPA, TPA!” they chanted, voicing approval for Obama’s trade promotion agenda. Obama flashed the GOP side a thumbs-up. Inside the Democratic dugout, according to several senior aides and lawmakers, the president’s usual allies were appalled by the scene: He was w
