The House on Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution expressing support for NATO as President Trump roiled allies with escalating calls for increased spending from alliance members.
It calls NATO “the most important and critical security link between the United States and Europe.”

The House resolution came a day after the Senate approved a nonbinding motion 97-2 expressing support for the alliance.
Some lawmakers have pushed back on Trump's criticisms. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Wednesday, shortly after the president singled out Germany, that NATO is "indispensable" and "as important today as it ever has been."
Yet it sure as hell wasn't a profile in courage. You should go watch how they passed the resolution. It only takes a few seconds. No flowery speeches, not even a vote. It was done as quickly and quietly as the cowards could manage to get it done.
Fascinating.............
So, Trump has no support for his attitude toward NATO none. He's the only one who calls it obsolete. Too bad the Stupid party still have not found the courage to stand up to Trump directly.
I posted the pertinent per-country numbers.
Personally, I think Germany should contribute more, but not because of anything Trump might say. It's illogical that France and the UK contribute more than Germany. (And I know that Germany's armed forces are operationally hampered by their budget.)
