Putin's invasion of Ukraine.. so, with Putin's own statements strongly against NATO...how do you make the case that Trump was endeavoring to "Strengthen" NATO, rather than spread discord?...
There's no way to spin this one around...Trump is, and always has been, Putin's tool...he (DJT) did his best to cause problems with the alliance...fortunately, NATO is coming together more strongly than Putin expected...another failure by Trump.
The 2% "Indirect Funding Issue" is less an issue than the countries' commitment to opposing Russian aggression...we're seeing that right now...and Germany, especially is demonstrating that with action.
