The Trump administration is considering scrapping the longstanding role of the U.S. in leading NATO’s military operations in Europe, NBC News reported on March 18, citing unnamed defense officials.
For nearly 75 years, a four-star U.S. general has held the position of Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), overseeing NATO’s military strategy and operations.
I’ve seen this said before, and I’ll say it again. If Trump is NOT an agent, paid or otherwise, of Russia (and he may well not be!)–he is doing an incredible job of accomplishing every single thing that a Russian agent would want to.
Ending military support for Ukraine.
Alienating our European allies.
Kneecapping our economic advantages.
Pulling us back from NATO, thus weakening both ourselves and the alliance.
Really mind blowing, isn’t it?
Given trump loves name calling his enemies, I’m surprised he’s not just routinely called Traitor Trump.
Terrible? Yea. Awful? Yes. Unamerican? Absolutely.
Mind blowing? No… not at all.
The facto agent
When he leaves NATO, we need to worry about Canada, Greenland and Panama. He will start a war to make them US property.
Probably the opposite. By staying in NATO, but rendering it mostly obsolete, attacking Canada would be much less of a clear case of being an attack on NATO.
However, realistically speaking the rest of NATO has only limited force projection capabilities and thus wouldn’t be able to help Canada much.
