USA vs NATO

Never ever thought I’d make a thread with this title but just when you thought the world couldn’t get even more crazier!

Is this the end of NATO? I wonder if Europe will create their own version and go it alone in future.

Russia and China but be rubbing their hands together with glee watching the western alliance as we have know it for the past 80 years start to collapse infront of their eyes.

Trump will be gone in a few years. Not convinced he is against NATO in any case. It is more about him trying to extract whatever he wants out of member countries. He is right that though that NATO doesn’t pull its weight proportionally to the US.

I'll give it a few days and see if he's changed his mind. He always starts with the worst threats as part of his deal-making. Sometimes he succumbs to pressure from behind the scenes or if what he's doing is tanking the stock market. We'll probably get a better idea by Wednesday.

Trump is bananas and egged on by ghouls, but my instinct is that he’s too keen to be domestically popular than to isolate the US over Greenland, be that through brutal tariffs or unthinkable boots on the ground.

It’s been an exhausting few weeks, though. Three more years of this to come.
