Trump reverses position, says NATO is 'no longer obsolete' - CNNPolitics.com
Very glad to hear this. As a member of the US Armed Forces I have had nothing but good experience with our NATO allies and look forward to further cooperation with them. NATO has it's flaws, but it is still a powerful organization and capable of doing great good. I look forward to many more years of mutual cooperation and defense with our NATO allies.

He is only learning. But so have the Europeans. They now know that the clock is ticking on their free riding and that NATO as it was is obsolete. They must shoulder more financial and political burden as well as physical and visible responsibility for enforcement. This is totally antithetical to the beliefs that some countries have been nurturing in their populations. It will be hard for the elites to do their part in the NATO they have pledged to. The entrenched beliefs as misinformed as they are will require will require considerable effort to overcome.
