He left hundreds of US troops as sitting ducks, they’re going to be attacked. Does he use those attacks to then attack Turkish forces, a NATO member, to then void NATO? Basically an attack on Turkey would require all other NATO members to defend them. That would effectively make NATO null and void.

I can hear the Rightwing talking points already. “The US will not let anyone attack us, we will not cede our sovereignty to NATO.”
