The American commitment to NATO has been less clear in recent years than it was in the past. This is the view of European analysts as reported on DW News this evening.
America under Trump is reducing its military commitments abroad. A glaring example is the recent withdrawal of American troops from the Turkish border and the prompt occupation of those abandoned bases by Russian troops. Another example is our tolerance of Russian soldiers in Venezuela and a reduced commitment to NATO. As I see this happening, I can't help but recall how General Stilicho of the Western Roman Empire recalled troops from the Danube frontier in order to defend the Italian peninsula from the Visigoths. Rome was sacked for the first time in 410 AD.
Trump is a useful idiot of Putin’s and is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do. Trump is a Russian asset. Trump’s stupidity and depravity is what is destroying our alliances.
Hard to believe that anyone with a single functioning brain cell can support this walking and talking trash.
Trump is not advocating getting out of NATO. He is just calling on the EU countries to pay their share of the costs. These are supposedly among the most elite countries in the world. Why on Earth should they not be expected to pay for their own national defense?
Didn't former president Charles DeGaulle pulls France out of NATO's integral structure around 1966-67?
Correct.
Obviously the OP has no idea.
