Donald Trump has destroyed any trust that NATO nations have in American government leadership, after he made the outrageous accusation that NATO nations did not contribute anything worthy to their participation in the Afghanistan War after the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The fact is that all of the nations in NATO sent troops, and lost many, in size of their populations, in that Afghanistan War, including Denmark, which has been pressured to give control of Greenland to the United States, an action that will never be approved by NATO or Denmark and Greenland.
The deleterious effect of unstable Donald Trump’s utterances have ended any possibility that there will be the same intimacy and collaboration of the so called “Five Eyes” nations (US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)–all English speaking nations–on intelligence gathering, which has existed for many decades.
It will also make other nations in NATO who have also collaborated and cooperated with the United States–including France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,The Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain–be hesitant to engage in the same relationship with the US that it has had.
The Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom (Keir Starmer) and Canada (John Carney), have issued outraged statements, and demands of apology for the horrible, uncaring statements Trump has issued. Trump has responded lamely on this matter, so the international world order established after World War II is in its death knell, as the nations listed above, plus others in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East will pause and reconsider how they best protect their own security and safety, with Donald Trump clearly seen as more of a danger than a reliable ally!
Trump has destroyed and bankrupted everything he has been involved with…… running the country isn’t any different. He is who he is!
I placed the blame on all those who voted for him to put him into office. (Especially after what we saw in his first 4 years, then topped it off with a violent attempt to overthrow that election.)
The shame is our own!
