Did you just use the work "bankroll" in the context of NATO? C'mon man. You
know that NATO is to our security benefit. You also know that the 2% spend on defense is a target and one that we can negotiate or pressure behind the scenes. You also know that NATO is NOT a protection racket.
To publicly leverage threats of Russian attack, to encourage such threats, is morally outrageous and strategically irresponsible. It gives aid and comfort for our adversaries and strikes fear in our allies. It is debilitating for the United States insofar as remaining a reliable ally and world leader.
Don't blow off the bluster of a mad man like Trump with some comments about "bankrolling" a venerable and successful mutual security agreement that has maintained the peace for decades.
