33. "where is the reaction in the US?"

I know The Guardian had updated their story right before I posted it and I posted the latest at the time (and they are a UK publication). But further down near the bottom is this -

The US remains the only country to have invoked article 5 of Nato’s collective security provision, activated after the 11 September terrorist attacks in 2001.

Trump has also faced criticism in the US. The former Nato supreme allied commander James Stavridis said hundreds of allied troops had died under his command on the frontlines in Afghanistan. “I honour their memory every single day,” said the retired US Navy admiral.

Nicholas Burns, a former US ambassador to China, described Trump’s remarks as “shameful”, adding: “We need our allies but are driving them away.”

I think the issue is more that 45 and the loon GOP's strategy of "flood the zone" and "move fast and break things", has meant a lot of important details for each of these stories, get pushed to the bottom of the priority for reporting but often bubbles up later once the dust clears.
