Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany has told the US Government "not to count on Germany's support in any potential armed conflict with North Korea."
"I don't see how Germany would gain from allying itself with the United States in such a conflict," Merkel said. "North Korea is far away and poses no direct threat to us. The United States' military would most likely crush the under-fed North Korean Army with ease. If the unimaginable happens and North Korea somehow wins, our stance of neutrality will reduce the incentive for them to turn on us."
The Chancellor also admitted to an emotional component stemming from World War II, saying that "it wasn't Koreans who mercilessly bombed every city in Germany, sank virtually our entire navy, shot down virtually every aircraft in the Luftwaffe, and sent millions of troops into my country in 1945. It was the United States and its allies. Germans have far more reason for antipathy toward America than they do toward North Korea. If Germany were to fight anyone, my gut tells me that it ought to be the Americans."
Merkel also complained that "President Trump's insistence that we must honor our NATO obligations is an added grievance. No previous American president made such a demand. We haven't budgeted for these obligations. The wisdom of our frugality has been born out by the lack of any military attacks on our country during the entire time of the NATO alliance. By assuming a position of neutrality we're hoping that Mr. Trump gets the message that we will not be pressured into fulfilling these unnecessary obligations."

Our dear NATO allies....
Well it’s better position than they took with us in the 20th century :)
Because WE, the United States of America, paid your share, you blithering low-life!!!!
You scum rode on our backs the entire Cold War and turned yourselves into Socialist hell-holes with the money you didn't pay to support NATO, you ungrateful piles of dog excrement!!!
If it wasn't for us the Soviets would have rolled over you by 1947.
