"It's a bad idea, particularly at a time when the United States is struggling to rebuild its relations with its NATO allies."

Aren't the proposed new host nations for American military installations in Eastern Europe also members of NATO?

If allies are embracing it, then how can it be unilateral?

"they could at least leave out the obviously erroneous or illogical."
