Of attacking an ally for no F'ing reason.
Venezuela is a "eh" mission, but being stationed in a NATO country is an assignment most would look forward to...well, maybe except for Turkey or Greenland.
NATO are like our friends across the street. And crazy Grampy is now asking us to burn their house down because he, what, wants the large, fully stocked wine cooler in their family room and they wouldn't give it to him?
And that's basically what *rump is talking about.
Burning down the house of our friendly neighbor across the street because the cranky old weird dude who lives across the alley from us wants to cause trouble for both us and them.
