Trump Just Said on 60 Minutes That He Knows More About NATO Than Mattis...

[DJT for Life]

WTF?

He seriously just said he knows more about NATO than Mattis and that Mattis didn't tell him that NATO is stopping WWIII.

NATO has never stopped WWIII. It almost caused it in 1983 and 1984, but
it's never prevented it. NATO might help prevent a conventional war, but
if someone wants to laucn their missiles...NATO ain't gonna stop them.
There are only two NATO countries with Nukes besides the United States
and their arsenals are limited.

Mattis' job as a general and/or SoD would be in the military capabilities.
The logistics and the meshing of the combined militaries as a single fighting
force. It would have nothing to do with the politics of such. As of a year
ago, the German Air Force only possessed enough missiles to arm four of
its front line fighter jets. They are supposed to have 84 of them online
ready to fly and fight. Mattis would be concerned with having another
country make up for that short fall. (Probably the U.S.) It would be Trump's
job to get the Germans to have 84 jets online as the treaty demands.

We are wasting time and money trying to work with the Western European
Countries. Our bases overseas should be moved forward to Poland and the
other former members of the Warsaw Pact and have them nose-to-nose with the Russians.

Those countries, when the War on Terror began, were the first to send troops
to help us. Not the Gutless, Western Europeans.

There is no doubt that Trump would know more about the operating capitol
and politics of NATO over Mattis or any other General.

Europe has been relatively peaceful since we formed NATO 70 years ago

The longest period of peace in hundreds of years

Most of the violence in the world is in areas that the countries have very little influence in NATO.

We dissolved SEATO. We've never had MEMTO.
