Macron's remarks are some of the harshest public criticism President Trump has faced from world leaders over his decision to remove U.S. forces from northern Syria ahead of a Turkish invasion of the region last month.

What does NATO have to do with Syria?

Is the demand for NATO now nothing more than propping-up European economies by having the US pay for their defense?

I think Macron has let a dirty little secret out of the bag here. NATO was never created to protect Western Europe from the big, bad Soviet Union. It was, in fact, created to give the U.S. a legitimate reason to place permanent bases in European countries and protect them from each other (especially Germany).
