Donald Trump has shattered European complacency on NATO, says George Robertson
Gina Davidson, The Scotsman

Donald Trump's criticisms of NATO could be good for its future, it has been claimed by a former Secretary General of the military alliance.

Former Labour defence secretary, George Robertson, who led NATO for four years, has said that the US President's disparagement of the organisation should "remind other allies of both the value of NATO and their own responsibilities" to it.

Lord Robertson, who was NATO Secretary General from 1999 to 2003, said that "a complacency that America will always be there with its clout and resources" had held back investment from Canada and European members. He added: "Donald Trump has shattered that complacency and for that, if nothing else, we should be grateful".

Good.  They have been taking advantage of the USA.

Good. It's bad enough they skate on defense, but then they pump that money they should have spent into social programs.

Then they prissy prance around lecturing the rest of the world on how morally superior their cradle-to-grave social safety net is.
