… applause from the Kreml is certain:
MIAMI – US President Donald Trump said on March 27 the US does not “have to be there for NATO,” comments that again raised questions about the US President’s commitment to the mutual defence provisions at the centre of the transatlantic alliance.
Speaking to an investment forum in Miami on the night of March 27, Mr Trump said he was upset that European NATO countries had declined to provide material support to the US as it nears the fourth week of its ongoing war on Iran. …
Translation: Defence pact NATO dared not to engage when the ill-conceived Iran war I started without consulting anyone (other than our Israelian friends, of course) run into trouble and threatened the world economy. So, why should I be there in case NATO countries do get attacked and its collective defense clause actually gets triggered?
