Trump's Blame On NATO Is Personal

from The Missing Piece [International] · host The Missing Piece

President Trump launched a war of choice against Iran, declaring victory one moment while demanding NATO allies join the fight the next . But Germany said ‘this is not our war,’ and the EU insists it was ‘not consulted’ . So why did the alliance refuse to help? Because under NATO’s charter, this conflict falls outside their defensive boundaries, leaving Trump fuming that the alliance is a ‘one-way street’ . Today, we dissect the contradictions in Washington’s strategy and why traditional allies are keeping their distance."Guest Info: Prof. Jamsheed K. Choksy is a Distinguished Professor, former Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, former Chair of the Department of Central Eurasian Studies, and current Director of the Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center (US Title VI) at Indiana University - Bloomington.
