kkk, in mya new opinion. that is my comment? host: that is jerry from georgia. what you hear from donald trump in terms of nato? voicing, a, i see a very big criticism and a downgrading of the tie with allies like nato. it is make them nervous. the events of the last couple of years, russia's support of a far right wing nativist political party in countries of europe have really disconcerted a lot of our allies. i don't think donald has offered a clear formula beyond this message of, we might not stand by you. you have to pull your weight somehow. alignment with vladimir putin, is really a historic thing and a very dangerous thing for american interests, first and foremost. for decades during the cold war, and after the cold war, the u.s. worked, whether it was a republican president or a democratic president, to strengthen the transatlantic relationship with a european allies. allies today,pean they are under severe strain now with refugees and russia under vladimir putin that is pressing the buttons and presenting the security challenges. to donald trump come
