From a Turkish perspective, it’s fucking ridiculous for Trump to first convince us to increase the defense budget, then withdraw from the alliance completely. The fuck is his goal?
“Keep 'em guessing”. You have to understand Trump is not a statesman. It’s that simple. He views everything as a one-to-one personal power dynamic in the context of some silly real estate deal about which restaurant supplier to choose for the crispy tortilla shells.
I don’t think he understands the ramifications beyond a contract he won’t respect or some clever insult he can hurl.

Spending more on defense is the republican thing it matters to them more than anything else so it does not matter at all if we even need it.
