According to him, in accordance with the Fifth article of the treaty of the North Atlantic alliance, the admission of Kyiv would mean the involvement of the "sons and daughters of America" in the confrontation with Russia, which has nuclear weapons.
“It is foolish to spend tens of billions on NATO expansion at the expense of Ukraine or other European countries at a time of record inflation,” Caldwell writes.
He also noted the problems of the $30 trillion public debt and the growing threats from China.
