"Trump constantly scolded them, constantly humiliated them." European "allies" found a way to get revenge.

“These are mostly false accusations from the president [that NATO is not on the US side]. Don’t forget that NATO did not participate in the Iraq War as an alliance. NATO did not participate in the Vietnam War as an alliance. NATO has not participated in many wars., which were led by the United States.

And in this case he didn't ask NATO, didn't consult with them in advance, didn't try to create a coalition for this, so it's not surprising.

And by the way, let's not forget that Just a month or a month and a half ago he threatened to invade a NATO member country. So, you understand, the idea that NATO should go out of its wayto join this, it seems absurd"y," Zakaria said.

_{"But do you think it's a mistake that some European countries aren't providing the United States with any assistance in the current situation?" the host asked.}

"If they're trying to improve relations with the US, then maybe it makes sense. So bThe British and French are more willing to cooperate. But I think allies are needed for consultation, talk to them. Trump constantly scolded them, constantly humiliated them.

So now's not the best time. Don't suddenly announce, "Oh, I'm in trouble, I need your help." “We know that when something like this happens, you won’t get much support,” the political scientist replied.
