Hopefully NATO is still a thing. NATO has kept the peace more than any other institution, at least in Europe.

But actually, it is the Europeans. reluctance to contribute enough that is the issue.

On the other hand, the EU is divisive. Bad idea to try to force a federal Europe on its member states.

He was in Normandy on D-Day. 75 years later, a former German soldier worries for the world's fraying alliances.

Paul Golz, 95, was drafted member of the Nazi-controlled German army during World War II and he has recounted D-Day to historians, to curious reporters, and to several generations of school children. But as the leaders of the Free World prepare to mark D-Day’s 75th anniversary, Golz said he fears a fraying of the alliances that were created in the wake of the war, alliances that brought peace and stability to Europe. And he has deep misgivings about the leadership of President Donald Trump.

“With Trump it is not easy,” Golz said. “Many Germans are not happy with what he does. He cannot just say ‘America First.’ Today you cannot succeed alone.”
