Trump Declines to Affirm NATO's Article 5
It is no mystery to anyone that both Russia and Trump are no big fans of NATO -- Russia doesn't like it because NATO is a check on their possible expansion back into Eastern Europe and Trump doesn't like it because people told him to -- or as he claims, other countries don't pay enough of their share-- so wouldn't ending NATO be the best solution and save us billions of dollars?
It would be better if we embrace the fact we now have the worlds best negotiator as president and he could negotiate a better deal than what we have with NATO -- and I keep hearing opponents talk about treaties and something about article 5 and how important it is we keep our pledge
What is article 5 anyway? Like, why is that important and we would never need to invoke that provision ourselves, so why should we have to adhere to it?
