Donald Trump's Threat To Dismantle NATO, Explained -- What The Hell Is Going ON?

Any timeline speculation about when Trump will back down from our good faith commitment to our European NATO allies? Putin has allegedly threatened Finland with consequences if they join NATO. There seems to be growing fear in both Russia's and the US's people as certain interests claim the other side wants war. Maybe there is no New World Order. Just the old world order. Consider...

Trump's position on NATO.



Putin's position on NATO.



There are more than a few videos out there that warn of a WWIII, claiming that Western media are in a blackout about such an event. As far as I know, the Pentagon hasn't ever seen a potential war it didn't like.

As long as we're going to be paying close attention to the language and shapeshifting positions of our new president, it might behoove us to examine how Trump's past ties to Russian oligarchs connects to this news, if it's true. Before it's time to worry.

Are we worried yet. And who can actually tell us what the hell is going on.
