Summary
Donald Trump has nominated former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as U.S. ambassador to NATO, a role critical to transatlantic security.
Whitaker, praised by Trump as a “strong warrior,” lacks foreign policy experience but is a loyal ally and critic of federal cases against Trump.
The appointment is unconventional, given Whitaker’s background in law enforcement.
NATO allies remain sensitive to Trump’s past skepticism of the alliance and his criticism of defense spending.

NATO members all get new phones, and when this douche-canoe goes back to Trump to give him the inevitable rim-job, they shut off the old ones, call a snap meeting, and make the decision to punch Russia right in the cocksucker. "Oops. Sorry, chap. Guess we forgot to tell you before you left. Anyhoo, tally-ho and off to war!
