I loathe the idea of agreeing with Trump and friends, but I do think he is right in pushing for Europe to be more self reliant and battle ready. I distinctly remember Obama pushing Europe to increase defense spending and he got some pledges but I don’t think they bore much fruit. Trump’s harder stance may have and might be forcing Europe to step up a bit more. Even if so, he still could have handled the whole situation a bit better. Less public belittling and NATO bashing, for example, even if he and this representatives are taking a harder stance behind the scenes.
The US wants Europe to buy more American weapons to fuel their military industrial complex.
NATO is picking fights and bombing half the world and then starts whining that they are losing their colonial superpower status when people fight back.
