- President Donald Trump spent the first two years of his presidency doing something Russian leaders have attempted since 1949: pushing NATO to the brink of irrelevance.
- Now it's come out that the FBI reportedly investigated Trump as a possible Russian asset as he publicly and privately talked about withdrawing from the alliance.
- Trump has succeeded where decades of Russian nuclear saber rattling, spying, assassinations, and information warfare have failed to fray the alliance.
- According to experts, Russian President Vladimir Putin is loving Trump's attacks on NATO, and a former NATO supreme commander called Trump's talk the "gift of the century" for the Russian leader.
President Donald Trump spent the first two years of his presidency doing something Russian leaders have attempted since 1949: pushing NATO to the brink of irrelevance.
And Trump reportedly did so while under investigation by the FBI as a possible Russian agent all along.
A trio of bombshell reports gave depth to years of reporting and public spectacles that indicate Trump has an openly antagonistic, skeptical view of the military alliance that's expanded American power and deterred a great war in Europe for 70 years.
Seriously. Perhaps when the USSR was sabre-rattling, NATO might have been an effective alliance but since it feel, it hasn't been worth anything.
ReplyDeleteConsider that NATO only succeeded in deterring the USSR because of American manpower, weapons and determination. America carried the rest of its allies on its shoulders for decades and got nothing but abuse and insults in return. America prevented WW3, not NATO.
Consider that the only time NATO marched into battle was to beat up little Serbia because the Kosovan cause generated favourable media and even that war was a violation of NATO's charter since none of its members were attacked.
Consider that most armies in Western Europe have atrophied since the fall of the USSR to the point that they couldn't competently mobilize in the face of a credible threat. And consider that one of NATO's biggest members, Turkey, is an aggressive Islamofascist state itching to commit genocide against the Kurdish nation and attack American allies like Israel if it gets the chance.
Trump wasn't acting as a Russian agent. He was just pointing out that the emperor took off his clothes a couple of decades ago.
