Superficially, Trump offered a pathway to DACA if democrats would fund the wall.
Superficially, Trump offered to stay in the Paris Accord if they held the same standards to China as the rest of the world.
Maybe Trump doesn't want the NATO deal to work.
You'd have to separate military decision-making vs political
America spent 70% of NATO budget, America's military gets 70% of decision in invasions or whether to admit Ukraine. Trump commands the military (let's invade) and Trump commands the political (lets not include Ukraine). I don't get where the difficulty is supposed to be.
If England for instance wants an equal vote then they contribute as much as we have, until then every decision is unilaterally Trump's to make.
America always should, and does, have total control of its own troops and equipment.
The point I was making is only that this suggestion for reforming NATO in this way is really a discussion about overall political sovereignty, not just cost-sharing and accounting.
