Everything Trump does is exactly what a Russian asset who had been elected president would do.

"In just one speech by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week, the most powerful member of NATO has thrown the world’s biggest military alliance into disarray, raising troubling questions about America’s commitment to European security.

"Hegseth told almost 50 of Ukraine ’s Western backers on Wednesday that he had joined their meeting 'to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States of America from being primarily focused on the security of Europe.'

“'The United States faces consequential threats to our homeland. We must — and we are — focusing on security of our own borders,' he said...

"Hegseth said that Ukraine will not get all its territory back from Russia and will not be allowed to join NATO...

"He insisted NATO will not be involved in any future force that might be required to police the peace in Ukraine. European and other nations will, but the Europeans will have to pay for it. No American troops would take part in such an operation...

"Hegseth said that NATO will not come to the rescue of any European nation involved in that force if it is attacked by Russia."

AP News · NATO is in disarray after the US announces that its security priorities lie elsewhereBy LORNE COOK

@jrefior And so there will be some consequences if NATO is bullied. Maybe a redesign of NATO. Maybe a relook at who and where military bases are. Maybe different strategies and priorities on where armaments are purchased from. It seems some tiny minds have placed little if any thought into their empire mindset.
