re: Why did Trump attack Montenegro?

What has Montenegro done to deserve these statements?
They have very a very “tense” relationship with Russia. Joining NATO could theoretically give them the backing they feel they need to increase those tensions. Although they’re a tiny country, they could drag the world to war, if war were there intentions, as NATO countries are obligated to defend each other.
I’m not saying that would happen, just saying that’s the reason for the statement.

Considering that, the day prior, Trump probably thought "Monte Negro" was a casino for black people, and that the statements came right after he spent two hours in private with Putin who was pulling out all the stops to try to prevent Montenegro from joining NATO just a couple of years ago, I think we all know where Trump got the idea.

So we’re afraid Montenegro might invade Russia. Ok.

The good thing is the Balkans isn't an area known for starting wars

What in the hell are you talking about? Are you a moron?

Oh this is the dumbest shite. I saw the interview. Tucker was talking about how dumb it is that we have to start a world war over small countries like Montenegro. Trump agreed. He didn't bash Montenegro, he just said that if someone invades Montenegro, "the next thing you know you're in a world war." Trump did NOT say we wouldn't come to their defense or uphold the NATO agreements. He just said we need to think carefully before admitting more countries.

Of course the regressive OP would make a racist post.

I saw the interview.... Trump literally said nothing off the sort.
quote:
He called them an aggressive people and said the US should maybe not come to their defense if they are attacked. What has Montenegro done to deserve these statements?
CARLSON: Membership in NATO obligates the members to defend any other member who has been attacked. So let’s say Montenegro, which joined last year, is attacked: Why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack? Why is that?
TRUMP: I understand what you’re saying. I’ve asked the same question. Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people.
CARLSON: Yeah, I’m not against it — or Albania.
TRUMP: No, by the way, they have very strong people — they have very aggressive people. They may get aggressive, and congratulations, you’re in World War III. Now I understand that — but that’s the way it was set up. Don’t forget, I just got here a little more than a year and a half ago. But I took over the conversation three or four days ago and said, “You have to pay.”

The same reason Constantinople got the works.

Scratch a Montenegrin, you'll find a Serb underneath.
He's not wrong.

Leave it to a dem to use a misogynistic comment as a put down.

Adding small states from the Balkans like Montenegro into NATO though is stupid and doesn't serve the underlying purpose of NATO.
It dies if they are functional states and contribute something, collective security actually works.

The funny thing is: when comments are as lame as yours people don’t even take the time to downvote them.
