NATO is afraid to call Trump's bluff

Our NATO allies are acting like they're not worth defending.

Mike McDaniel | March 22, 2026

NATO served a worthy purpose in helping us win the Cold War, largely without going hot. Even so, we always footed most of the bill for the defense of the free world, and our NATO “allies” rewarded us by denigrating us at every turn and spending themselves into near oblivion by means of social welfare programs. They’ll never forgive us for saving them during WWI and WWII. Circa 2026, they’ve come close to complete national, civilizational suicide by inviting in armies of Islamists.

President Trump is supposedly so stupid he had no idea of the potential consequences of the Iran war, yet we’re winning in ways impossible under Democrat presidents, all of whom in the last several decades swore that we would never allow Iran to get nuclear weapons, which meant doing what Trump is now doing. Obama and Biden kept that promise by ensuring Iran would get nuclear weapons and paying for them and Iran’s terrorist proxy armies. But poor old stupid Trump keeps playing four-dimensional chess while his detractors can’t play checkers. He’s exposed our NATO allies—and particularly England--as toilet paper tigers unable and unwilling to sortie a single, rusty warship to assist us.

    As we reported, President Donald Trump asked our NATO allies and others to help contribute to a coalition of escort ships to help ensure safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz.

    But he was rebuffed by some of the NATO allies, like Germany, who said that they didn't start the military action, so why should they be involved? These are some of the same folks who thought the United States should pay endlessly for Ukraine, despite that not being "our war.'

    They had a bit of a karmic wake-up call when the hotel where their European Union Advisory Mission is housed was hit by an Iran-backed drone in Baghdad.

Trump, using the hard ball techniques of NYC real estate development, read our “allies” the riot act:

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

That was my first thought upon reading the headline.  The key to a successful bluff in poker is to make the opponents certain you will follow through.

Yeah, right now Trump has ZERO respect and consideration for Europe and NATO, and wants the U.S. out.  The Europeans are making it easy for him with their whiny fecklessness and cowardice, and refusal to assist the U.S. against Iran, thus making his point for him.  The NATO alliance only goes one way.

What is NATO without the USA?
