[..] Missions and capabilities are just as important as a straight two-percent target. Canada has five C-17 heavy airlifters, giving it a strategic heavy lift capacity; Norway and Poland have none. Canada commands a NATO brigade in Latvia, established after Russia invaded Ukraine. It is a trip-wire mission to be sure, but other NATO nations do not have the capacity to lead NATO missions. In fact, the latest Canadian defence white paper, Strong, Secure, Engaged, aspires to have Canada be the lead nation in at least one key mission somewhere.

Cik latvieši atbalstītu karošanu ar Ķīnu, lai aizstāvētu Japānu?
Ja būtu novērsta RU uzbrukuma iespēja,tad jā. 5.pants ir 5.pants
Grūti pateikt, bet ja reiz vēlās, lai Japāna atbalstītu mūs, tad mums jāatbalsta Japāna. Ir runa par gadījumu, kad Japānai uzbrūk.
