NATO leaders have gathered in Ankara for a pivotal summit focused on defense spending, deterrence and alliance unity. But US President Donald Trump quickly set a confrontational tone, criticizing alli
I swear, the fastest Europe and Canada can ditch the US the better it will be for them.
Now, Trump can't withdraw from NATO without an act of Congress, but he can certainly hollow out the US commitment.
This is going to be a possibility going forward, Trump or no Trump.
It's up to Europe and Canada to look after their own security interests, which these days don't coincide very much with the US's.
No, he didn't "test" NATO. It's yet another lie to cover up the fact that his "plan" when attacking Iran was poorly thought through and completely ignored his own intelligence services' assessments regarding Iran's capacity, its determination and its regime's entrenchment. More BS from White House.
In fact, he was persuaded by the Israelis, who, in turn, also made false assumptions based on wishful thinking aligned with Netanyahu's need to stay in power. Now we have to deal with more Trump tantrums as he's trying to deflect his failures in Iran by coming up with all sorts of lies and accusations against allies he didn't even bother to inform before launching his war. Instead, he continues to insult and ridicule Europe and Canada while expecting "loyalty". Sure, we'll play along as we need the nuclear umbrella, but make no mistake, America's days as the leader are counted.
"Tested"? No, Trump screwed up in Iran. Supposedly everyone in intelligence knew the Strait of Hormuz was at risk of closing if we weren't careful. Trump only wants people that will serve and agree with him.
The guy repeatedly threatened the sovereignty of his allies then acts surprised when they didn't jump up to act as his personal militia and put their own citizens' lives at risk in an unnecessary war he unilaterally launched on a whim. What a special guy.
DW needs to stop whitewashing Trump's BS. He is clueless how to end the war in Iran and wanted the EU and NATO deal with his mess. This man is simply incompetent
