Trump can be crude, boorish and inarticulate but quite effective when push comes to shove. And in this case out NATO “partners” needed a swift kick in the a$$, which Trump delivered. Too bad that now they’ll have decide to cough up the money to protect themselves or keep funding their stupid “climate change” crap. I don’t think they can do both. We’ll see which is more important, the “existential” threat of the planet burning up or the real threat of seeing T-72 tanks sauntering through the brandenburg gate.
