President Trump is considering a major change to the U.S.’ participation in NATO, officials say.
As part of the potential shift, the U.S. might not defend a NATO member that is attacked if the country doesn’t meet the defense spending threshold

Trump is actually more damaging to most aspects of human existence and he published the brochure before the election.
But when when the crunch comes, there is no certainty that the US will support any other nation under any circumstances!
Trump is an enemy as much as Putin.
I say fuck them and their weirdo Nazi Handmaid's Tale society which is run by and for psychos and cretins.

Netherlands, UK, France, and Italy have rapidly expanded satellite data sharing with Ukraine while commercial providers fill critical gaps left by American withdrawal.

Putin HATES NATO
Trump is Putin's obedient little sycophant and puppet
America, and the American military, should be ashamed of the way they're betraying their loyal, long-time allies. The only logical answer is for America to leave NATO. Which is exactly what Putin wants.
Can't talk about others notvwanting peace when you're the one waging war.
Destroying the economy, security and reputation of the American people to the entire world.
This is not something I'm familiar with.
The original 2% was proposed by Obama as a aspiration.
There are very good reasons why no figures were set at the beginning.
Wages & pensions being included in defense spending to me gives a false picture America has a huge commitment to wages and pensions.
1/2
Other countries commitment to Salaries and pensions is much lower.
I agree there should be a agreed minimum defense spend for each country that should take into account its commitment in bases and facilities also defense contracts should be equally awarded
It is a very large subject.
The things that worries me is that a number of these conversations have happened for years (as you say it was Obama who suggested 2%), but love or hate it (I hate), Trump's horrific approach may actually work is getting some change.
Trump is trying to make NATO like that.
If Turnip tries to extort money out of countries America would be in breech of the Agreement and the other members of NATO could ask the USR to leave
You don't get to cherry-pick which parts of the treaty you want to be bound by.
US bases are welcome in NATO lands only as part of NATO
Oh,
fuck,
we're fucked aren't we?
FUCK YOU AND YOUR BAND OF IDIOTIC TRAITORS FARAGE!!!
ALWAYS wanted to get to. You could see it coming a mile off. They have just lowered the bar gradually until some how, to their base, this seems acceptable. It is not! Do not forget, article 5 has only EVER been invoked once and it was by the US after 9/11. NATO members turned up.
Pretending otherwise is negligent and foolish
When we start to rearm we should spend as much money as possible with non-US companies
Donald Trump is not only saying he wouldn’t come to the defense of a NATO ally, he’s inviting Russia to attack them.

UNGRATEFUL PRICKS
It’s the Trump regime rewriting agreements without consult of the members involved.
Where have we seen this before 🤔
Europe and the UK really ought to wake up.
Any country that appeases Trump is a sucker.
Planet Earth: America is not your friend. You see this.
Save yourselves.
American democracy will be back someday, but not today.
I'd much rather a group that supports one another, hmmmm, like the EU perhaps.
Maybe the red line mist obscures somebody's dictated leadership role.
Or you show drop in income & balance
Or Tumms says, it's speanding 5, 10, 12, 12.5,,,so on until its his ability to gain control
Who is threatening WW3...., I'm getting concerned. Greenland, Suez Canal, Canada, West Bank.....
Trump really is a low-life piece of 💩
If the US is cutting Ukraine from US intelligence then the rest of nato should probably consider doing the same to the US.
Fuck them
