One of the first things they should do is rein in trump's ambition to take over other countries, militarily or by theft. He doesn't spew crap like this unless he and Miller are already planning it.

NATO should already be issuing warnings of what THEY will do if he makes good on his threats.

"NATO’s Article 5 is consistent with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which recognises that a state that is the victim of an armed attack has the inherent right to individual or collective self-defence, and may request others to come to its assistance. Within the NATO context, Article 5 translates this right of self-defence into a mutual assistance obligation." (emphasis mine.)
