I didn't expect this. I thought trump's faction wanted to abandon NATO to focus on China, but at this rate I'm not sure they know what they want anymore or that they even care about appearing consistent.

Depends who's paying on what day. Currently China is costing up to Russia despite European protestation. This is a next step towards heightened hostilities.

Trump is beholden to Russia and Russia is beholden to China. It's a bad situation.

Kind of ironic considering he never pays for his own defense.
