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?
