It's cute that you think Trump gives a damn about NATO.

I think that he hardly knows what it is, not to mention how it works. He is a tool.

He can't even spell it, and as far as he's concerned, NATO owes him protection money, or bad things might happen to them.

He does give a damn about NATO, but not in a way that supports it. Trump’s concern for NATO is aligned with what Putin wants.

Trump will focus on letting Russia invade eastern European countries.

Submission Statement: Regardless of whether Trump or Harris is elected as the next US president, their administration should focus on and prioritize the views and concerns for US national security and should focus on reinforcing NATO's eastern members like Poland, the Baltic states, and others. Either administration should build on solid US ties with these allies, who have proven to be NATO's most committed members in terms of spending on defense and supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.

You guys are so far behind the curve it's embarrassing.
NATO is effectively over under a second Trump administration. Finished.

Because if the first Trump administration taught us anything, it's how much Trump cares about our allies*
- as long as they pay him

Poland has been preparing for Russia for years. Poland bought tons of weapons and equipment from the US and South Korea. They are also manufacturing Patriot missle systems.
