Reuters is reporting that a memo floated in the Defense Department lays out options for punishing NATO members for not supporting the erratic and vengeful Malignant Fascist's war on Iran, when he claimed at various times that he either didn't need NATO's help or could use their help. From the story:
"An internal Pentagon email outlines options for the United States to punish NATO allies it believes failed to support U.S. operations in the war with Iran, including suspending Spain from the alliance and reviewing the U.S. position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands, a U.S. official told Reuters.
The policy options are detailed in a note expressing frustration at some allies' perceived reluctance or refusal to grant the United States access, basing and overflight rights - known as ABO - for the Iran war, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the email. [snip]
One option in the email envisions suspending 'difficult' countries from important or prestigious positions at NATO, the official said.
Asked whether it is possible to suspend a NATO ally, a NATO official said that 'NATO’s Founding Treaty does not foresee any provision for suspension of NATO membership'". (our emphasis)
The MF launched his war without Congressional approval, and without consultation with our NATO allies. He has yet to understand that NATO is a defensive alliance, not one requiring their support when we (with Israel) attack another country. The alliance has been tested under both of the MF's terms in office, pleasing Russian thug and war criminal Vladimir Putin, whose ambition has long been to break NATO apart so that he can launch further wars of aggression in Europe. We'll see how many MAGAt Senators object to this bullying of allies, which is being watched by our adversaries with glee.
But Der Drumpfenführer is definitely NOT a Russian asset!
