I beg to differ w @realDonaldTrump. This is not insulting but rather what you get when the Potus raises doubts about NATO’s Article 5, slaps tariffs on allies, calls the EU a foe, cozies up to Putin, signals support for the National Front, and unilaterally breaks w int’l pacts

100 years after end of WWI, “the leprosy of nationalism,” as Macron calls it, is loosed on world again. I pray—w/no expectation that my prayer will be answered—that Trump will pause during his visit to France to contemplate what happened in 1914 and why. https://t.co/hnE33DUfsL

False. More than 70% of costs of peacekeeping are borne by others. More than 99% of troops/police are sent by others – to some of world’s most dangerous places, incl to many places the US has embassies & deep interests in stabilization (eg Lebanon, Mali etc) https://t.co/bZJzutt1Bh
