Jens Stoltenberg says Nato ‘ready and able to defend all allies’, after Trump invited Russia to attack member countries

A White House spokesperson put it the best, I think:

The White House spokesperson Andrew Bates, when asked about Trump’s comments, said: “Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American national security, global stability and our economy at home.”

What’s so insane about all this is that Trump saying something like that out loud means it’s now practically gospel to the vast majority of GOP voters, and might as well be official party policy.

    I’m not sure how much the US really wants that

    Or anyone else for that matter. Armed Europe has a somewhat violent history.

      Yeah, as opposed to any other country with arms which have a totally nonviolent history.

      You know there’s only like 20 years out of America’s entire history where it wasn’t at war?

          I don’t think this is a good place for technicalities but who am I? Some idiot on the internet.
