Does NATO really need Finland and Sweden? With Justin Logan

Is Russia poised to invade Sweden or Finland? Likely not. So what problem does adding both countries to NATO solve? Furthermore, how much is the U.S. willing to defend these countries down the road? Kelley and Dan talk to Cato Institute's Justin Logan about why offering them membership is an "impetuous move" that will likely cost more than the immediate benefit. In the first segment, we explore the potential disaster that awaits the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles this month, as several Latin American leaders have threatened to boycott the annual event because Biden insists on playing the "democracies versus autocracies" game.
