The Senate voted decidedly in favor of a motion supporting NATO on Tuesday while President Donald Trump heads into the European summit, spouting off insults and accusations at America’s allies.
According to a Tuesday Hill report, Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY) were the only lawmakers to vote against the nonbinding motion.
The motion was proposed by Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), who called America’s commitment to NATO “ironclad.”
Trump has been sounding off on his many perceived grievances with NATO as he begins the summit, taking issue with a defense spending agreement he does not understand and complaining that Americans are taking on a lopsided burden within the alliance. He has also angered some of the U.S.’ closest allies by levying steep tariffs.
Lee and Rando voted NO? Are THEY Russian agents? Or just nuts (which we knew)?

“non-binding” = “no resistance-to-Trump skin in this game”
What’s Paul’s problem? NATO refuse to help tidy up his lawn or something?
Hmmm, seven of the GOP Senators who voted yes were in Moscow on our nation’s birthday kumbayaing with the Russian parliament.
Actions vs. words, etc.
