Obama on Ukraine: ‘An Attack on One Is an Attack on All’

“During the long Soviet occupation, the great Estonian poet, Marie Under, wrote a poem in which she cried to the world: ‘Who’ll come to help? Right here, at present, now!’ And I say to the people of Estonia and the people of the Baltics, today we are bound by our treaty alliance. We have a solemn duty to each other. Article 5 is crystal clear: an attack on one is an attack on all. So if, in such a moment, you ever ask again, who’ll come to help, you’ll know the answer: the NATO alliance, including the armed forces of the United States of America, right here, present, now.”
