Answer: All of them.

Question: How many NATO allies were attacked during 9/11?
Answer: None. But they supported us because WE were attacked. They sent sons and daughters to die in a shit hole on the other side of the world.... because WE were attacked.

That is what is known as having an ally.

Whoa, I've got to check this one B-Zona. 

What are we supposed to do about hyper aggressive countries like MONTENEGRO who may be joining NATO because they know they will need back up?  They have been a special thorn in Russia's side, and accepting them into NATO puts one more obstacle in the path of good relations with Russia. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/18/russias-deadly-plot-overthrow-montenegros-government-assassinating/. Putin's interference in US elections pales in comparison to what he has done there.

Why go to war over a teeny tiny ally that sent less than 40 personnel to Afghanistan?  Why irritate a country whose leader our leader gets along with?

Fortunately, Trump can see the case clearly without a "helpful" filter from our NATO allies.

Time to start planning our foreign policy without NATO interference.
