I really don't see how NATO has any other choice. Anyone with half a brain knows that Trump is irresponsible, unreliable, and incompetent. Trusting him with any responsibility whatsoever would be madness. (And yet here WE are, stuck with him. )

NATO is doing what they need to do, pure and simple. This sucks beyond belief, but it's all HIS fault and the fault of those who enable him. (Spineless Republican wienies in Congress, I'm looking at ALL of you! )
