  5.  @simonchilli2088  we've plenty of none NATO deployments too, Caribbean, Middle East, Africa. If we were pulling back from the world in general leaving NATO would fit but otherwise we'd be doing NATO style deployments but worse supported. We were for example already working with Sweden and Finland before they started joining.
