That whole issue has been so distorted by the TrumpDerangementSyndrome elites
Trump thinks the 1950’s-1960’s concept of NATO is outdated (it is) and NATO should pick up more of the costs for their own defense (they should)
We as did Trump could ask why the US is footing the bill to defend their national borders when they don’t want any (and criticize us for wanting to defend ours)
and why we are defending them against the Red Menace when their own euro-enviro- greenies have made them reliant on Russia for energy
>>Trump thinks the 1950’s-1960’s concept of NATO is outdated
Even more outdated if ya’ toss a paperclip down this rabbit hole...

It seems the talented Mr. Gehlen was more creative in his efforts to manufacture job security than than he was a source of reliable Intelligence.
