Apparently Trump is threatening to withdraw troops from NATO countries if they refuse to get involved and please God just once let us have this win please

Given that all the US planes are transiting Germany or the UK on the way to the Middle East...withdrawing from NATO seems absurd.

I fail to see the connection. Europeans are far too weak to deny the US use of their airspace even if the US does pull out of NATO. What are they going to do, shoot them down? Lol.

They will strongly condemn it.

Very strongly. Speeches will be made. Letters will be written. Fingers will be wagged. Brunch will be eaten.

Sorry, by 'transiting' I mean landing & taking off from UK & German military bases.

I look forward to the day that every last Yankee soldier is kicked off of German soil.

Him sitting down and reading a book is something I literally cannot picture in my mind.

He actually makes references to historical speeches on occasion.

For example, how he pronounces Lenin as “Leneen” is a reference to how George Lincoln Rockwell, the founder of the American Nazi party had pronounced it.
