what's with Canada?
Every individual in Canada doesn't necessarily agree with the position of our government.
I happen to think NATO is somewhat obsolete in many ways. Countries act in their own interests and for the most part, won't co-operate with other countries if they can take credit for themselves. Governments want to stay in power, not help other countries. You have agencies in the U.S who won't co-operate amongst themselves, why would they co-operate with a foreign country?
My point was really more of a conflicting message. Through the campaign, Trump and Bannon were talking about a new world order, clearly moving closer to Russia and further from the established alliances. That message was repeated over and over and I kept hearing how voters supported that view, they wanted a change. Then Pence went to Europe and said the U.S is 100% in support of NATO which really wan't want Trump and Bannon have been saying at all.
It sure didn't strike me as a new world order when Pence said everything is the same except we would like the NATO members to contribute their fair share, something the U.S has been saying for years. In fact, I see absolutely nothing different, it's exactly the way it's always been.
I thought things were going to be different, silly me.
