Is it election interference for a major NATO leader to say Trump is a risk to the alliance?

Well, maybe, arguably, but these are just stated opinions. It would be different if NATO members (or a "friends of NATO country x" group within the US) formed a PAC to help fund Biden's campaign.

I mean, sure I get it, Israel is a special case for reasons stated. And admittedly part of my bewilderment probably stems from the custom to give vast amounts of money to political campaigns in the first place. I do not really blame AIPAC or the friends of Israel for playing the game as it needs to be played. But to me it's still weird :)
