He's speaking in sentences and making coherent points. He may be overstating some points, like "Germany is a captive of Russia," but I can't be bothered to get my feathers ruffled over a politician being hyperbolic.
I wonder if he sees that the fact that the US pays so much more to NATO means that we can give them the finger and invade Iraq without their consent or facing any consequences, though.
I'm not in favor of any single nation having that kind of unilateral power, but it seems like the kind of thing Trump would appreciate.
(I'm pretty sure I'm crossing NATO with the UN, upon further reflection, but I'm also pretty sure the point stands.)
