    Not nearly as strong as it could have been, or more importantly, should have been. If NATO's reaction to the Russo - Ukrainian War is "quite strong", then Trump is right...lol

    The French can indeed be pains in the rear, but they get the big things right. In Desert Storm they requested and were assigned the position on the far left flank of Schwarzkopf's left hook -- most exposed and driving farthest and deepest. They were magnificent.
    During the Cuban missile crisis JFK sent Dean Acheson to try to get DeGaulle on board. When Acheson walked into DeGaulle's office DeGaulle stopped Acheson before he could say a word. DeGaulle said: "The West has only one commander in chief. Tell your President I am with him."

    Trump is always right.

    Now can you conservatives nominate someone else.

    They have done everything short of sending combat personnel, and I don't think you want that.

    They gave the keys to Hitler. End of story. They didn’t start fighting as a country until we took them back. They laid down and took it better than anyone I ever seen. They had factions that rebelled and hats off to them but the government had zero fight in them.

    Germany I think would actually side with Russia. Call me crazy but they basically had to be forced to not buy Russian gas. They wanted to use it. They didn’t care about the Ukraine war until they were coerced into it.

    Someone really needs to explain me what is this f$$$ “ delinquent memberships”. There is no such thing in NATO. They invest in their national defense.

    France had the largest army in the world in 1940. She wasn't "overwhelmed". The French maintained their tradition of being defeated militarily.

    There wasn't a war when Trump was in office.

    I don't think you attended your history classes, but whatever makes you happy.

    That's crazy.

    Were they defeated in WW1? No, they fought and lost 1.4M men, but were not defeated.

    And they're pledged to invest a certain percentage on defense in support of NATO.

    NATO charter "requires" membership spend a portion of GOP on defense in support of NATO. Trump gently suggested they actually do so.

    So there is no delinquent membership.

    Thanks for clarifying that.

    64 US soldiers died in Afghanistan between 2017-2020.

    And that was not a WAR?

    Every member pledged to invest 2% of their GDP on defense. In 2022 twenty-three (out of thirty) members missed that goal.
