Default Will Trump announce his intention to leave NATO tonight?

He is addressing the nation tonight and he has been trashing NATO for a while. However, it requires congress approval but that hasn't stopped him doing anything so far

It is possible.


But as you pointed out
He needs Congress to back him
they will not


So it could be a temporary leave

its a grey area. The simple fact is that the whole point of NATO is trust and we can no longer trust the USA. Trump has threatened Canada and Denmark, both NATO members. European leaders can pretend that all is well, but it simply isn't

[Donald Trump is threatening to pull the US out of NATO,
a move that would dismantle the world's most powerful
military alliance and leave Western security in disarray.

The President said he was 'absolutely' considering
quitting the 32-nation bloc and planned
to savage his allies over their failure
to support the war against Iran
in a prime-time address to the nation
at 9pm ET on Wednesday.]

…meh, I mean, one of these days he might say something with sincerity and thought rather than trying to engage his country and the world into video game mentality just so he gets to cast himself as the lead actor…

I can see a whole new alliance forming that includes Japan and perhaps other asian countries. I also think we have earned a lot of respect from the arab nations over the last month, and they have a lot of cash

We have less and less in common with the trajectory that most of Europe seems to be going, so it's entirely possible I think. Supposedly it's enough that network stations will stop their normal activities to play it and that in itself is significant because not all of his activities are widely acknowledged in this way.

Trump to address nation on Iran: How to watch tonight
https://www.floridatoday.com/story/n...r/89420919007/

Quote:
President Trump will give his Address to the Nation update on the Iran War at 9 p.m. ET tonight, Wednesday, April 1. The speech is expected to last around 20 minutes.

Tonight's address will likely be carried on every major network, including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and PBS. It will also stream on the White House YouTube channel and the official White House live page.

Wouldnt bother me if he did, in fact it would give more clarity and a kick up the ass to Europe to take ownership of its own defence, we have plenty money for everything except defence

I heard the very beginning as we were about to sit down to dinner and realized it was just going to go into justifying more time in Iran and turned it off. Checked back in with subtitles and it was literally the same chatter, but with subtitles this time.

I don't understand why that required a national address.
