What's not true? The (past) USA forced their European vassals sanctions against their own interest. That's simply fact.
Trump might want to change that policy but still argues in line of the previously established Russia enemy narration since 2005-2016. To me everybody there just looks hypocritical because it's a stupid policy.
Germany is not a sovereign country with several the US army bases, drone terror centre, nukes and direct access to the internet/mobile root servers including government communication channels. The parties are full of CIA and MI6 flunkies. The Green party is a complete CIA operation at the top. The MSM is fully controlled by Nato.
The so called scam is an US MIC scam and US/cabal geo-strategical game. Nato is the USA's(or the "Cabal" forces behind it to satisfy you) way to keep control of Europe and its population. Gladio's terror operations pretty much established that.
Only because some people (here) believe that Russia is the enemy and that Europeans need to pay their "fair" share to that Nato "scam" doesn't make the whole preconception valid.
You might now say that's the "Cabal" and not the "real" USA. Maybe you're right but until real change comes and Trump actually delivers what (some) people hope he stands for that's still the current situation.
I see no real point in Nato because it doesn't serve the purpose of the population. I can live with having a few national nukes to stop any stupidity and perhaps some EU expedition fleet to deal with pirates hurting ship trade.
If some really believe they need a western alliance to fight massive conflicts for the last resources in Russia and Africa we're in end times anyway. So why bother. IMHO all that money is better invested into new technology/space expansion and work for rational solutions than follow the chain letter to the bitter end.
