Well, in this case, it was decided who the United States should attack. And yes, he does not understand that NATO is a defensive alliance. No country is going to wade into a useless war in the Middle East especially because it’s being spearheaded by Trump and a drunk Fox News weekend host.

He can't quit NATO without Congress voting on it, and even they won't vote for that.

The US has invaded 8 sovereign nations since 1950 along with innumerable clandestine hostile acts of various forms of terrorism, primarily economic. The first 2 wars after WW2, the dems were in power, the last 6 the reps were in power. Every time there is a massive propaganda campaign to guilt other countries into joining some coalition of the damned with americans threatening to leave NATO. You're viewed now as the bad guys and leaving NATO will make you North Korea adjacent.

He understands. He’s trying to create leverage. I believe him to be a terrible leader and despicable human being, but the idea that he doesn’t understand how NATO legally works is nonsense.

Can we afford NATO status?

He doesn't understand that NATO gives the us army a solid, safe and committed footprint on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. Incalculable value.

Shorting US Defense contractors now who get huge amount of $$$ selling into NATO nations.

Continues to move Russian agendas forward. Nothing is more important for Russian aggressors than a destabilized NATO / weakened U.S.

Can he even pull the US out of NATO by himself? Not that this administration hasn't done anything they want regardless of the law.

Ok good we European NATO members can continue to not trust in US and keep building our own joint defense!

I mean it's quite obviously a slow gradual plan to make countries like Russia and North Korea allies in the eyes of the American public. With the goal to undermine the EU and other alliances. There is a lot of trust in NATO, but give it a few decades and the American public will eventually see Europe as an enemy

NATO does not work for you ! You ignorant traitor!

And when NATO doesn't do everything he wants, he is going to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. This will make a friend of his on the other side of the globe very happy indeed.

Oh. He’s using the logic of a schoolyard bully. He invaded another country without a clear reason, without a goal, without a plan to end the war he started. And he did it without building consensus with NATO members. Now factor in his total boarish behavior, and outright threats against their sovereignty and the value of NATO. He’s worked against NATO and oftentimes against the USA best interests since his election.

Trump is used to deal with hoes, and thinks NATO is one of them

This is all part of a larger story that Russia is gearing up for strikes against NATO countries in a few months.
Kind of an interesting moment, right? Russia is prepping an attack, and Trump says he’s not going to honor Article 5.
He’s more than a clown. He’s a monster.

Unforgivable.  NATO pack supports attacks ON NATO members not attacks BY NATO members.  This is a green light to Russia.  

here, I fixed this: U.S President Trump says since NATO didn’t join the Epstein coalition, they don’t have to show up for NATO

Total NATO Budget: The total shared budget is estimated at €5.3 billion (~$6.06 billion) for 2026.The U.S. Share: Under a cost-sharing formula capped in 2021, the U.S. directly contributes a 16% share of this common fund.Annual U.S. Direct Cost: This equates to roughly $970 million per year paid directly to NATO.

He treats NATO as his private army
