This is the smartest thing Trump, or any other candidate,
has said to date.
NATO today has only two purposes, neither of which is for
the benefit of Europeans.
One, it is essentially a way to occupy Europe without

Two, it is called in to serve as a kind of fig leaf for
American imperial adventures, a way of making America's aims seem larger than
they are in fact.
