JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: TRUMP SAYS NATO IS OBSOLETE AND IS HE EVER RIGHT


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


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 calling it occupation.


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.
