The White House is considering a plan to punish some members of the NATO alliance that President Trump thinks were unhelpful to the U.S. and Israel during the Iran war, according to administration officials. The proposal would involve moving U.S. troops out of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries such as Spain and Germany which were deemed unhelpful to the Iran war effort
2. How is this related to the sub
(1) The collapse of post-war liberal order: Trump is withdrawing troops from Europe in retaliation to lack of support on Trump’s Iran war.
3. My opinion
Wouldn’t closing European bases would hurt the US ability to project power globally ?
I think NATO should punish Trump personally not America if they want to retaliate in some way lol. If trump threatens to take the US out of NATO, NATO should just make clear they are open to the next president coming back in but openly ban Trump and his cronies from ever setting foot or doing business on NATO soil
