#2 This must be keeping the nervous nellies up at NATO HQ in Brussels up at night.

Of course, the time-honored ploy of creating an enemy--domestic or foreign--is coming to a kasbah near you.

BTW, does NATO still have nukes in Turkey?

#4 What NATO is worried about is an American serviceman gets grabbed or whacked and Americans rise up and say "enough!" But that has never happened in any of the incidents in Afghanistan or Iraq and the one in Jordan, so maybe they worry too much?

What's wrong with Trump's handling of North Korea & Iran?

Crimea a part of Russia - been this way longer than USA existed.

Syria: it was your affirmative action POTUS idea that "Assad has to go". Nobody normal is obliged to stick to it.

#9 Skid, you are correct. Trump knows he can't even touch the things you have mentioned. Not his fault, just how it is...
