The hackernews way of saying “Orange Man Bad.”
> the current US administration already made it quite clear that the US under the Trump administration is a highly unreliable ally
Dumbest thing I’ve read in a while.
Why is it dumb? Could you expand?
Because the person you've replied to has given a good argument and explained their way of thinking? What have you done?
What?! His comment is 100% opinion, with no supporting evidence. I guess that’s all hackernews needs, so long as it fits the Orange Man Bad narrative.
Then you certainly didn't headed Trump's threats to pull the US out of NATO.

That's your high bar on Trump's reliability with regard to EU's vital interests.
I don't need to explain the sheer idiocy of complaining about the EU's... skeptical attitude towards the Trump administration in general, and Trump specifically.
> complained about the defence spending of European allies who committed less than the agreed 2% to defence, particularly Germany
The US wants the alliance, it’s the Europeans who feel they don’t need it (since they aren’t fulfilling their obligations).
Certainly you don’t listen to Trumps speeches.
