Trump did not retaliate for the latest Iranian missile strikes toward American bases. It was known in advance of the strike, what was coming so there would be no dead troops. The bad news is that it looks like a Ukrainian passenger jet crash in close proximity of the missile launches.
Trump is asking for more sanctions instead of a military confrontation. He is asking NATO allies for cooperation. If they balk, Trump should take action at them by removing out defensive forces from their countries or making them pay for the protection.
Europe has squandered it’s peace dividend since WW2 and is heavily mired in debt. Time to bring our troops home and protect our own borders. Get out of countries who do not want us or wont compensate the American taxpayers for their free protection. The time of empire has passed. No more free rides for so called allies.
