Planning for Reality

Berlin Pat, as you know, we Germans, NATO and the British are currently supporting the US to the best of our ability, even if we do not speak about it publicly. We would like to politely point out that it would be helpful for constructive cooperation if Washington were to abide by the rules, keep us informed in good time and involve us at an early stage. Early involvement would therefore be desirable, rather than criticising us on social media. The President could be surrounded by qualified advisers, particularly in the military sphere. It would be beneficial if the Secretary of Defence in Washington possessed specialist knowledge and experience. There is a deep bond between Germany, the UK and the US; we share a common DNA.
