Trump foreign policy


Recommended Posts

I must say I’m giving some SERIOUS sideye to Trumps comments on Montenegro. 

 

AN ATTACK ON ONE IS AN ATTACK ON ALL. 

 

If Trump thinks he’s gonna change that staple of our foreign policy then it’s time for the pitchforks and torches.

Do you think the Europeans would go to bat for Montenegro?

You should. They have troops in Afghanistan under Article 5.

Again, do you think the Europeans would abide by that?

 

Yes. Yes I do. I also think your question is immaterial and cowardly (not to imply you are). We HONOR our treaties and alliances. 

 

Trumps a coward. But I ain’t.

What if Turkey, who is a NATO member harbors terrorists who attack Israel and Israel in turn attacks the terrorist stronghold in Turkey? Do we go to war with Israel?

An attack on you is an attack on all. 

If Montenegro, a country with a population of less than half that of Rhode Island, got into a trade dispute with, oh, let's say Congo, and Congo attacked Montenegro, would you be willing to send your son or daughter to defend them for their utter stupidity? Just because some bureaucrats and crooked politicians in Washington and Europe said you have to?

Are they not in harms way subject to ambush or IEDs?  Silly point.

No. No, they are not. They are in highly fortified bases, called FOBS, doing clerical work. Work YOU could do with zero military training or experience.  They will only leave the base to leave the country to go home. They would be in more danger going to a movie in downtown Albany, NY or Chicago.

They have actually supported the mission in a variety of capacities since 2010.

Good for them, and we appreciate it very much. Doesn't erase the fact that we should be extremely selective about where,  why and how we deploy our sons and daughters into harms way. 

 

Just because they send a couple clerks to one of our FOBS in a country we occupy that we should be on the hook to start WW3 on their behalf.

We need to re-evaluate those treaties and alliances if they don’t meet our needs. Tell me: who benefits more from Nato? Us or Europe?

Laughable misundertanding of Article V.

If we’re treaty bound, yes. Also, Czechoslovakia is how these things start. Yes. You draw a line in the sand. You fight them in the air and on the beaches and all that.
