Do we want them to participate in the planning. Before you know it they sell the plans (and everything else) to Putin. I think it is time we start to treat them as a untrustworthy nation.
Just for anyone who still holds out hope: NATO as we have known it is over. The US won't come to the defense of the other members if they are attacked. It's time to move on.
It seems ever less likely the US will participate in the NATO summit in The Hague. Too bad for Mark, though people living and working there will probably not mind.
what even is their goal?
just yet i refuse to believe there is none and that theyre just dumb, because theyre obviously not.
america first for every price? but would it not be better to trade with us and have us as allies versus china and russia? we would spend our money and work together so its all more efficient.
It has nothing to do with "America First", if so then dismantling the entire US superpower hegemony and its alliances would be a contraproductive move.
The goal is to turn USA into a puppet state for Russia. Trump is going to try to cancel elections and ultimately Americans will be drafted to fight for Russia. Assuming trump has his way.
I strongly disagree. They are actually very dumb and there is no grand strategy at play here. While everyone tries to understand the sense behind the erratic decisions, there really is not much to understand at all. It's as simple as "we don't want to spend money on European defense anymore", so all activities related to that are stopped, without any regard to the consequences.
