    Half the military and technology assets that won’t ever actually be used to help NATO under Trump.

    He’ll veto every action that goes against Putin… Which is what NATO was originally formed to do…

      US arms are still flowing to Ukraine and the sanctions against Russia still stand. I’m not saying things haven’t gotten worse under Trump but it’s clear that the US still has an anti-Russia policy.

      I don’t think it matters, the EU contains a mutual defense pact as well. Even if NATO fails to respond due to Trump being an Epstein related kiddie diddler, EU members have each other’s back. Turkey would be left out in the cold though.

      So there’s no downside to having the US in NATO. Unless you’re Turkey.

      NATO is not against russia. It is against certain things that russia does to its neighbours who subscribe to NATO membership.
