Routine patrols is different than the US demanding NATO troops and equipment for a bs war they fabricated so a dictator can stay in power The Europeans should refuse openly and if trump pushes it they should remove America from NATO and form their own European alliance and army
It’s moot anyway. That whole area is outside NATO’s area. The French overseas departments and Dutch island councils already are outside NATO’s protective umbrella.
The dictator doesn’t know or care He will push the issue and make threats The Europeans should use it as a pretext to abandon the US and go their own way alongside Canada and anyone else that use to be US allies
