Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!

Trump Threatens Macron Over ‘True European Army’: ‘Pay for NATO Or Not!’
And Vladimir Putin smiles his secret smile over the stunning success of his Dotardian Candidate.
The American Century: 1918-2018. Now it’s back to being a resource-extraction wasteland.
Europe in recent decades has been an economic powerhouse with strong exports and huge consumption of imported primary inputs like oil and copper, while staying a military midget. This was not a fight that the US needed to pick. Who was a threat? Russia’s military spending, after some years of buildup had gone flat or even declining, and most problems come from non-state actors. Trump’s NATO fight may be even stupider than his fights with China. An elderly alpha male primate lashing out with no long-term concern about consequences.
My God, what a nincompoop!
Ugly American, thy name is trump.
