Isolationism is what the World had in the 1930s
How’d that work out for Peace?

OTOH, why should we pay for Europe's defense when Europe isn't willing to pay for it themselves?!

He should but I don’t think he can without congressional approval and I do not see that happening.

Obviously, you shouldn't, but can't some compromise be reached without letting the dictators win?
* And btw, how much of an "alliance" is it, really, if one member plans a war in secret without asking or consulting any of the others, just springs it on them by surprise and then suddenly demands they join or be considered "traitors"? Not very "partner-like", j/s

“Isolationism is what the World had in the 1930s. How’d that work out for Peace?”
And yet, are the Europeans themselves not revealing an isolationist streak in their posture toward Iran?

Why would anyone stay in a one way selfish relationship. The NATO you defend has denied support.
Blame Eroupe, not Trump for this mess, they literally just showed us they will not be there if we need them. Time to save the money and stop letting Eroupe tale advantage of us. This is not isolation, it is preservation.

NATO in its present form is obsolete. Some other more equitable security arrangement or arrangements should replace it.

47 years of Iran waging war on America, this was not a secret and not spring on anyone. Eroupe was happy to see Iran hurt America for 47 years as we kept the water way open to kerp there enegry cheap, tome for Eroupe to own it. Your entire premise is total nonsense.
