Re: Julian Assange says his next leak will virtually guarantee an indictment of Hilla
I would argue otherwise Jack. It's common knowledge the US has been doing all the heavy lifting of NATO for decades. While direct payments are something like 22% of NATO's budget, according to agreements, the other spending is completely disproportionate, and other NATO members have not been living up to their obligations. Calling them out on it does not mean Trump would back out.
I would suggest the contrary is likely true. The other Nations need the United States. Getting them to take their obligations seriously would result in a stronger NATO.
Hard to say, actually.
