Biden to tout NATO’s unity at Vilnius summit, but it’s getting complicated

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 21:27:38 GMT

President Joe Biden’s trip to Europe next week may feel familiar, coming under the shadow of an increasingly stalemated war.But for administration officials and foreign policy experts, the five-day swing across the Atlantic has quickly taken on heightened import: a bit of high-wire act diplomacy that could profoundly impact international alliances and fundamentally alter the very course of the war itself. The opportunity is there, they argue.“This is the weakest Putin has been since taking power,” said Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, a global risk assessment firm based in New York. “Those escalation concerns that existed when the war began have steadily diminished.”Biden leaves Sunday for a trip that will have at its heart the NATO summit in Lithuania, a gathering now timed to an inflection point in Russia’s invasion of its neighbor. Held in Vilnius, just a few hundred miles from the fighting, the alliance’s gathering comes as Ukraine has slowly rolled out its counterof...

He winds up accelerating into foul territory as if on a wild backyard Slip ‘N Slide.Scott Keltner sees the play and can’t wait to get his hands on Alonso’s jersey. He isn’t some memorabilia collector waiting to purchase a game-worn uniform. Keltner is the coordinator of clubhouse operations for the Mets.His job, along with his staff of 13, is to keep both clubhouses up and running before, during and after the game and Keltner has the most important task.He keeps the Mets’ uniforms sparkling clean.“See,” Keltner points to Alonso’s jersey laying on a table in the Mets’ laundry...
