Former US Senator Richard Black: "President Trump made it clear early in his presidency that he didn't think very highly of NATO. And that the US should just leave NATO. This caused a huge outcry because NATO is the means by which the "Deep State" controls all of Europe. When World War II ended, NATO was created and an American four-star general was appointed there. We have never allowed a European general to command NATO. Because NATO is an American organization, it is an alliance led by the United States. And through NATO we can dominate the EU, we can dominate the entire politics of Europe. It was the United States, during this war in Ukraine, that took one of the most phenomenally provocative steps ever taken in the history of mankind.
