NATO is still brain dead. Tremors and Macron have nothing to offer.

Forget about Trump. Consider France. France is having a hard time in North Africa. They are having such a hard time that they have asked for help.

So here is the question.

Why did they turn to America and not Germany? Or why did the not turn to America, Germany and Britain and Italy?

Tremors waggles her ass about how Germany does so much with foreign aid it does not need a larger military. If that works so well, why is France in trouble in North Africa?
