NATO Split?

 ZeroHedge runs an essay fretting over Trump's intentions in Europe--specifically Germany, but really NATO as a whole.

...And so we can see that the Trump Administration is stamping around the room, smashing the furniture, brusquely ordering its allies to do as they’re told or else. One could hardly find a better exponent of this in-your-face style than “we lied, we cheated, we stole” Mike Pompeo. If your object were to outrage allies so much that they quit themselves, he’s ideal. Washington’s demands, stripped of the highfalutin accompanying rhetoric of freedom, are: join its sanctions against China and Iran; buy its gas; buy its weapons; if not, risk being declared “adversaries” in a sanctions war. Germany is defiant on Huawei, Iran, Nord Stream and weaponry; much of Europe is as well and Berlin’s example will have much effect on the others....

Here's our question:  So What?

The "We love entangling alliances" crowd is ramping up the volume to Eleventy!!!  

Good.  They'll all be out in the open, as they were here, yesterday.
