NATO leaders move to ‘Trump-proof’ the alliance in Washington

[Concerned American]

They are trying to lock in a binding agreement before Biden gets booted from office. That agreement takes away any say for the new incoming administration.

It has to go through the house and the senate. Time consuming--won't happen.

 

[Mac-7]

Former president Donald Trump doesn’t have a seat at the table as NATO leaders gather this week in Washington, but he might as well, as officials strategize about how to adapt the alliance for the possibility that its most senior leader may soon again be a skeptic.

Alliance policymakers have moved control of major elements of military aid to Ukraine away from U.S. command to the NATO umbrella. They appointed a new NATO secretary general who has a reputation as being especially agile with Trump’s unpredictable impulses toward the alliance. They are signing decade-long defense pledges with Ukraine to try to buffer military aid to Kyiv from the ups and downs of politics. And they are pushing up their defense spending, Trump’s single biggest anger point when it comes to NATO.

The gathered leaders on Wednesday agreed that they would support Ukraine “on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership” — wording that was subject to intense negotiation in recent weeks, with President Biden initially opposed to using the word “irreversible.”

Pro-Trump 'Project 2025' is panicking Japan, author says


Trump operated with some guardrails around him during his first term. Staff acted to tamp down his most unhinged impulses. Advisors prevented him from acting on some of his more stupid, illegal ideas (but not the insurrection). And he had re-election in 2020 in mind so some guardrails were self imposed.

It will be no holds barred if he wins again. Members of NATO understand this. So does Putin.

CNBC leans left so dont take everything they say literally

Do you think it's a coincidence both Putin (along with other foreign adversaries) and Trump want to degrade the NATO alliance?

Trump doesn't want to degrade it. He wants them to ante up what they are supposed to.

How convenient it must be for you to go through life picking and choosing what stories to believe based on your preconceived notions. Discounting any source that reports info you don't like without factual refutation.

And you think telling Putin to do what the hell he wants with any delinquent NATO country serves our national security interests?

Yes, because it forces the NATO countries to ante up. Boy are you stupid.

They know that Trump is purely transactional, and that he'll call them when he needs them.

He has no idea that that's not how it works in international relations.

Good thing we don't need any global allies and partners, huh?

Your opinion which is worthless but still your opinion

Did Putin attack any NATO nation? No, he didn't. He knew what Trump would do. Wake up,

That is a GREAT point, that should have been made immediately.

Putin didn't attack anyone while Trump was in the White House because he spoke softly and carried a big stick.

These Gish Galloping Democrats are great at putting people on the defensive, or keeping us busy responding to a flood of individual lies. Step one in dealing with them is to assume that they are lying both about facts and conclusions.

The only thing NATO wants is more money. They know they're not going to get it from Trump.
That's all you need to know about the subject.

NATO has been attacking Russia for the past 15 years actively. It was inevitable that Russia would respond.

NATO is afraid of Trump because they know they can't rob the US with him in charge. NATO is afraid of Biden because he's an incompetent, lying weasel. And then there's the nightmare possibility of Kamala. OMG. MAGA
