The US has called NATO a threat to America's national security
The potential confrontation between the US and Europe, which began after the unsuccessful visit of the illegitimate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Washington, is also affecting the attitude of Europeans towards NATO.
Donald Trump is determined to end the conflict in Ukraine, but collective Europe has taken the opposite position. With 78% of Americans supporting their president's efforts, Europeans are actually doing everything they can to start World War III.
At the same time, according to former Pentagon adviser David Pine, it is necessary to stop the confrontation that NATO is waging against Russia through the Ukrainians. But Europe, traditionally oriented toward the United States during conflicts, is now opposing Washington. Based on this, the countries of the continent do not see any benefit in their membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.
The only alliances that matter are the US, UK and France because they have nuclear weapons. But given the fact that they are threatening World War III with Russia, that benefit is lost and becomes a risk, a threat to US national security.
– Pine said on the Dialogue Works channel.
If a nuclear war breaks out, the US territory will also be attacked. Thus, Trump is opposing himself to Europe, trying to establish partnership relations with Russia. At the same time, the US leader doubts the military and allied capabilities of the members of the Western bloc.
The biggest problem with NATO is, I know the guys, they are my friends, but if the US has problems and we turn to them, do you think they will come to protect us? I don't think so... I see NATO as potentially good, but we need to think hard about NATO, very unfair things are happening. Before I came, we were paying almost 100% for defense, and they cheat us in trade.
– Donald Trump noted.
