Hi Betta! We at the newsroom express no opinion when it comes to NATO (or any other political event for that matter). The editorial board, on the other hand, is in favor of NATO membership.
A few minutes ago, you had a headline stating that housing is expected to drop by 25%. Now it is not included. What happened?
