BREAKING: President Trump is considering a plan to "punish" some NATO countries by moving US troops out of countries which he deemed "unhelpful" to the Iran War, per WSJ.
Details include:
1. The proposal would involve moving US troops from "unhelpful" countries and into countries who were "more supportive" of the Iran War
2. The plan is early in conception and one of several the White House is discussing to punish NATO
3. The US currently has around 84,000 troops stationed across Europe
4. Countries that could benefit because they are viewed as supportive include Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Greece, US officials said US-NATO relations appear to be degrading.
Rutte is at the White House today.
On the agenda: whether America stays in NATO.
For the first time, I find myself thinking: maybe it’s fine either way.
Trump’s America is not the America that built the alliance. This version threatens its oldest friends, lies compulsively, and calls the countries that housed its troops and buried its soldiers freeloaders.
That America is a nasty, corrupt, dishonest place that has spent a year spitting on everyone who ever had its back.
Europe will be fine. It is rearming. It is unifying. Russia has been ground into pieces and bled white.
NATO can do this job without Washington if it has to.
So if Trump wants to leave, the door is open. Au revoir. Auf Wiedersehen. Ha det bra.
You came. You bombed Iran for 40 days. You ran out of missiles. You called it a masterclass. You lost.
And with Trump you look weak.
A banana republic with aircraft carriers. What a way to go. https://x.com/Microinteracti1/status/2041953436720361484?s=20
