  a war on our side if we get attacked by Russia

  You must have been in a coma for the last year or so. USA under Trump is more likely to attack Greenland than to help Europe fighting Russia.

    Trump taco. He did not move any troops or metal towards greenland. When he does not move troops he does not intend to attack, he intends to move the opinion.

    My guess why he did that (greenland and threaten to not aid NATO): He wanted to push the European opinion towards “fuck you we will spend more on our own military”.

    The opinion of every US administration the last decades, Obama, Biden, Trump has been that Europe should spend more on defense instead of relying on US. Trump achieves this goal by being obnoxious and hated and ironically the complete lack of diplomatic skill.

      The US makes weapons, sell weapons, and controls the countries they sell those weapons to. Trump doesn’t get any of that and broke the control that US had on everyone. He’s the reason countries suddenly started getting worried that the US could turn off the planes they sold them whenever they wanted. The US has bases in every country, and Trump is the reason people are suddenly getting worried about them.

      When they used to say Europe should spend more, it’s by buying American.

      Yes, but only the very last one sided with Russia against democratic countries.

  That is not true though because they will not come to our aid, they clearly stated that.

    Trump clearly threatened not to come to aid of NATO countries that don’t spend the agreed % of GDP. If he did not intend to come to aid of any NATO country he would leave the alliance.

      If it isn’t a 100% guaranteed non-negotiable that they WILL aid their global partners, that it might be conditional, means that it cannot be assumed to be there, and is no longer dependable. It’d just be an ally piling in at best, if we’re lucky and the current goomba-in-chief is a friendly one.

      To many it seems that he is set to destroy NATO not by leaving it but by showing that he won’t get involved in the agreements made
