ed note–all can rest assured that Trump and Carlson chosing Montenegro as the hypothetical flashpoint for WWIII was/is due to the fact that it is so geographically close to Sarajevo, where after the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophia and due to the alliances (like NATO) that existed at the time, served as the ignition switch for WWI a century ago.
Please check the idiocy of Andrew Weiss vice president at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, quoted as saying that Trump’s comments on Montenegro sounded as if they were ‘lifted from Kremlin talking points’ and ‘who on earth could have planted this riff in his head about tiny Montenegro possibly starting World War III?’, as if equally-tiny Sarajevo were not the starting point for WWI.
Furthermore, keep in mind what the ‘core mission’ of NATO was/is/always will be–
–War against Christian Russia by a thoroughly-Judaized West for the benefit of Judea, Inc.
We’ve said it before and it bears repeating–Jews lie.
Montenegro may have a few questions for President Trump.
In an interview that aired Tuesday evening with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Mr. Trump appeared to suggest that the NATO mutual defense compact is confusing, particularly the question of why an American would have to defend a small country like Montenegro, which is more than 5,000 miles away.
Mr. Trump has long raised questions about the future of the United States’ commitment to NATO, a defense treaty which was established to stave off aggression from what was then the Soviet Union. Montenegro joined the alliance in 2017, a year after Russia plotted a coup to overthrow Montenegro’s government and replace it with one that would be hostile toward NATO.
On Tuesday, Mr. Carlson asked Mr. Trump, “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?”
Mr. Trump immediately acknowledged the concern.
“I understand what you’re saying,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve asked the same question.”
The answer, which Mr. Trump did not articulate in the interview, can be found in Article 5 of the treaty: If one NATO country is attacked, all NATO countries would be considered under attack as well and would join in defense.
The president continued, “Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people.”
He added, “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.”
Neither the White House nor Montenegro’s embassy in Washington immediately responded to requests for comment.
Andrew S. Weiss, a vice president at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the president’s comments on Montenegro sounded as if they were lifted from Kremlin talking points.
“Who on earth could have planted this riff in his head about tiny Montenegro possibly starting World War III?” Mr. Weiss wrote in a Twitter post on Wednesday.
Mr. Carlson interviewed Mr. Trump in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday, after Mr. Trump met privately with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
“By attacking Montenegro & questioning our obligations under NATO, the President is playing right into Putin’s hands,” Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, wrote in a Twitter post on Wednesday.
Montenegro has not been a country Mr. Trump typically discusses. During a NATO conference last year, video footage showed Mr. Trump pushing past the Montenegrin prime minister, Dusko Markovic, as he made his way to the front of a photo opportunity of NATO country leaders.
Mr. Trump has been accused of vastly misunderstanding how NATO works, and he has distanced himself from the agreement by saying it was in place before he became president. Mr. Trump’s main contention with NATO has been his belief that the United States pays more for defense than other member countries.
“It was very unfair. They weren’t paying, so we’re not only are we paying for most of it, but they weren’t even paying and we’re protecting them,” Mr. Trump said to Mr. Carlson during an interview taped on Monday and aired Tuesday evening. “Add that to your little equation on Montenegro.”
To be sure, respected national security officials in past administrations have cautioned about giving NATO membership to new, smaller nations in ways that might not actually increase the security of the United States or the alliance as a whole.
Robert M. Gates, who served as defense secretary for former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, made the case in 2008 for the importance of an unwavering commitment to Article 5 of the alliance — the mutual defense agreement binding all NATO partners.
But, without mentioning any specific nations, he noted the potential danger of new members entering the alliance and bringing in increased risks. At the time, there was a debate over whether Georgia should be part of NATO. Russia and Georgia fought a war in 2008, and Russia has occupied parts of the country since.
“We need to be careful about the commitments we make, but we must be willing to keep the commitments once made,” Mr. Gates said. “In the case of NATO, Article 5 must mean what it says. As the allied troops fighting in Afghanistan can attest, NATO is not a talk shop nor a Renaissance Weekend on steroids.”
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Trump said, if president, he would not automatically defend NATO allies if they were attacked, for instance, by Russia. He said he would make a decision based on whether the attacked country had “fulfilled their obligations to us.”
On a recent trip to Europe, Mr. Trump met with NATO members and left those talks in what he called “triumph,” after demanding that other countries contribute more money at a faster pace.
After Mr. Trump’s NATO meetings, he traveled to Helsinki where he met alone for two hours with Mr. Putin. During a joint news conference after the summit meeting, Mr. Trump appeared to capitulate to Mr. Putin, which drew outrage from many Republican lawmakers, longtime supporters and his aides.
Montenegro, once part of the former Yugoslavia, has become more western since the 1990s, much to the disdain of Moscow. The country of about 640,000 is not considered a military power. But Montenegro controls a strategic coastline where warships can dock between Gibraltar and eastern Turkey.

“So, let’s say Montenegro … is attacked, why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack?”
Thus asks Tucker Carlson. Simple. Same reason Eddy Bernays, double nephew of Sigmund Freud, gave the American ‘Goy’ for offering up their sons to the Jew-inspired ‘World War I’. Namely … ‘bringing democracy to all of Europe’.
Always the same, tired old canard … makin’ the werld safe fer demoksy. You know, the kind of demoksy where they lock up middle-aged women like Monika Schaefer for that sad old croc o’ shite … ‘holocaust denial’… https://wir-sind-monika.com/2018/07/14/trial-of-monika-schaefer-at-munich-day-6-from-richard-edmonds/
Two ruinous wars later and what have we got? NATO … private army of the Rotshite central banksterin’ dynasty. And Israel. Headquarters of the Rotshite International Crime Syndicate (RICS). And Europe DROWNING in debt.
Back in the day, NATO was ostensibly set up to protect Europe and the werld from Rotshite-inspired ‘Commoonism’. That really WAS the Hegelian dialectic at play. Since then Europe has been utterly ruined by debt to a pack of cabalists and a Soros-assisted invasion of unassimilables to formerly white European lands.
Russia, in the meantime, has rebuilt itself under Putin since the collapse of Jewish Commoonism. And yes, Putin HAS in essence nationalized the Rotshite central bank put in place by the Bolshoi Ballet ‘revolutionaries’. And yes, Putin has revitalized Russian industry. Check him putting Jewish oligarch Oleg Deripaska on notice re the mooted closing of his aluminum plant … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XfbWnDXCx8
So these days, it does seem that Judea’s hatred of Russia is based on the very real foundation that Putin IS a genuine nationalist reformer, he genuinely IS popular – never less than 70% – and he IS clawing his country back from Judea Inc.
May the love affair between Putin and Trump blossom into a many-splendored thing.
Love is a many-splendored thing
It’s the April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature’s way of giving a reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king

“Rise and Kill First – The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations” by “Ronen Bergman”.
Here is the NY Times review of the “thorny ethical issues” which the Jews purportedly continuously confront, up to this very day of course:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The first definitive history of the Mossad, Shin Bet, and the IDF’s targeted killing programs, hailed by The New York Times as “an exceptional work, a humane book about an incendiary subject.”
The Talmud says: “If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.” This instinct to take every measure, even the most aggressive, to defend the Jewish people is hardwired into Israel’s DNA. From the very beginning of its statehood in 1948, protecting the nation from harm has been the responsibility of its intelligence community and armed services, and there is one weapon in their vast arsenal that they have relied upon to thwart the most serious threats: Targeted assassinations have been used countless times, on enemies large and small, sometimes in response to attacks against the Israeli people and sometimes preemptively.
In this page-turning, eye-opening book, journalist and military analyst Ronen Bergman—praised by David Remnick as “arguably [Israel’s] best investigative reporter”—offers a riveting inside account of the targeted killing programs: their successes, their failures, and the moral and political price exacted on the men and women who approved and carried out the missions.
Bergman has gained the exceedingly rare cooperation of many current and former members of the Israeli government, including Prime Ministers Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak, Ariel Sharon, and Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as high-level figures in the country’s military and intelligence services: the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), the Mossad (the world’s most feared intelligence agency), Caesarea (a “Mossad within the Mossad” that carries out attacks on the highest-value targets), and the Shin Bet (an internal security service that implemented the largest targeted assassination campaign ever, in order to stop what had once appeared to be unstoppable: suicide terrorism).
Including never-before-reported, behind-the-curtain accounts of key operations, and based on hundreds of on-the-record interviews and thousands of files to which Bergman has gotten exclusive access over his decades of reporting, Rise and Kill First brings us deep into the heart of Israel’s most secret activities. Bergman traces, from statehood to the present, the gripping events and thorny ethical questions underlying Israel’s targeted killing campaign, which has shaped the Israeli nation, the Middle East, and the entire world.

Crazy stuff,what the Hell is in Montenegro that Russia would ever consider invading it ?? :/,from what i can see Russia’s more interested in building its economy and the customs Union, probably preparing for the post dollar/fiat world…These crazy ziocons seemed determined to excelerate America’s decline ,and as for NATO ,it does Not protect the West, it like a dumb beast causing chaos everywhere it goes,NATO= failed states,refugees, terrorism and the break down of social cohesion.NATO will be the End of us..
