Comments on Carney’s speech by Pro Bono

The whole of the UK, even Farage, is furious with Trump over his remarks about the rest of NATO:

"We've never needed them, we have never really asked anything of them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines"

457 British soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, and many more were injured.

This is the only time NATO's Article five collective defence provisions have been invoked.

Trump stayed 9000 miles away from the front lines in Vietnam, having persuaded a friendly podiatrist to diagnose him with bone spurs in his heels.
