3 of our military were killed and many more injured by Iran backed Islamists. This after about 150 attacks.

What has NATO done?

I don’t think that the US feels obliged to respond to Islamist attacks on French troops in the Sahel either.

Attacks on expeditionary forces in foreign lands don’t constitute an attack on the country.

The soldiers were killed in Jordan. This attack does not trigger Article 5 which states in salient part

“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.”

NATO is about done-wait for the next round of elections in Europe. Trump is Right. Remember WW II Started in 1939 and we did zip until late 1941.
