As US allies reel from Donald Trump’s weekend comments encouraging Russia to attack European allies if they don’t meet NATO budget contribution goals, multiple former Trump advisers warn in my upcoming book that the former president will seek to formally withdraw the US from the NATO alliance if he wins a second term.
As a non-american, I am baffled by the american “left” support for a militaristic organisation that empowered far-right network in western europe’s intelligence service for the sake of anticommunism. Those people killed socialists politicians here.
Of course the whole “encourage Putin to attack other European nations” thing is stupid in typical Trump fashon, but less american imperialism is always welcome.
How exactly will leaving NATO make America less imperialistic? Was it the safety of the mighty European security umbrella that enabled the US to be like that?
That would be a good thing.
Yeah, for Putin and China.
