OUT TO LUNCH: NATO SecGen forgets why his organization exists.

Our threat perceptions may currently differ, but Russia could also be threatened by ballistic missiles. So it makes sense for us to cooperate in defending against them, by building two separate systems with the same goal. It makes sense practically, militarily and politically. It would show once and for all that we can build security with each other, rather than against each other.

You know the old saying: NATO exists to keep the Germans down, the Americans in, the Russians out.
