The article discusses former national security adviser John Bolton's comments about the United Nations and his reaction to President Trump's statements about NATO. The author finds Bolton's stance on NATO confusing, as he first suggests that Trump should stop threatening NATO members with withdrawal or non-defense if they don't meet their defense spending goal of 2% of GDP, but then argues that these members should actually be spending 4% of GDP on defense. The author questions whether NATO needs less browbeating or more. [Extracted from the article]
