One of the key components of the NATO alliance is Article V, which calls on all NATO allies to unite and engage in a collective defense. The only country that has involved Article V is the United States after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Now President Donald Trump is looking to put conditions on it.

On Thursday, NBC News reported that "three current and former senior U.S. officials and one congressional official" are saying that Trump's next goal is to impose new mandates on a key NATO component.

In the past, Trump has falsely implied that countries send a check to fund NATO and some countries aren't sending enough, CNN said in a fact-check. He's alleged countries aren't paying their “bills,” “dues” or “NATO fees." The fact-check also recalled Trump saying that the NATO countries “owe us a tremendous amount of money” or that they “owe NATO billions of dollars.”

Or will he just make onerous demands for them to repay the USA for $200 Trillion?

1. I'm pretty sure that's the plan.

2. It depends on how far the Republicans in the senate are willing to bend over to sell out their country

7. Out of NATO? It's already done but official notice. TSF has doomed Ukraine and continues to side with Russia.

That's what Russian assets do. The Soviet and subsequently Putin's cultivation of trump since the late '80s has paid off spectacularly well. And trump maga ts think siding with Pootie is the way to go.

Incredibly stupid.

8. 24 NATO countries supplied ships, planes, and troops for

Operation Enduring Freedom (The War In Afghanistan ) after the attack on us on 9/11. Ukraine was not a member of NATO, but they also supplied troops. None of them asked us to reimburse them for their expenses

9. He can't

Since we passed a law specifically stopping a President from pulling out of NATO. It requires support from congress, which he doesn't have.

He could try but it will fail.

11. This congress will vote to get us out of NATO in the next few weeks!

They are owned by Putin and the orange Hitler and will do his bidding because they are being blackmailed and scared.

[Mountainguy]

13. No chance.

[kimbutgar]

14. I hope you're correct !

But this congress is so weak kneed and compliant I wouldn’t put it past them!

[Mountainguy]

15. Margins are too small

And there are a lot of NATO fans, especially in the Senate.

10. Get ready for WWW3 and I will not support my country and dissent.

12. Pretty sure he's always butt-hurt. It's a natural condition for him...nt

16. If I were NATO, I wouldn't wait

I'd kick us and that orange fool out right away. He'll only bring heartache, heartburn and disaster.
