Donald Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack Nato allies who pay too little

Says a guy who NEVER pays his bills

It's funny how Trump says countries have to pay their bills, maybe they can ask for donations outside the court as he does

That man is a genuine threat to the European Union, Europe as a continent and the Western world as we know it.

As an European, I used to think of an 'European army' as a stupid idea, but now I think it has become a necessity to ensure the security of Europe. We can no longer rely on the US to be a reliable ally. Whether it's about supplying arms, maintaining military hardware or coordinating military exercises, they should no longer be trusted. Why? Because this guy is crazy enough to provide Putin with all the highly sensitive data on European defenses. He'll probably tell Putin where all the (secret) military bases are located, where the anti-air defenses are placed, and how the defenses work. He's a traitor to the NATO alliance and a threat to the security of Europe.

I think it bears pointing out that both the UK and France have their own nuclear weapons and are ultimately not beholden to the US.

So encouraging Russian aggression with the implicit notion that the US wouldn't do anything in response to an attack actually makes nuclear war more likely because even if we didn't respond... they would still feel compelled to.
