First, Mao's army defeated the Allied Troops once and again during the Korean War, whereby all American, British, French and other officers of other 15 countries came to the conclusion that even a united troops from all of their countries wouldn't be able to beat the Chinese army. Secondly, current NATO member nations have become Washington's obedient servants. Their leaders, such as Olaf Scholz, Ursula van Leyen, and others have had to follow Washington's orders, instructions and advice. They have hardly ever had the nerve to say "No" whenever Washington orders them to do this or that. This is not going to change soon as none of these countries are strong or rich enough to stand up to Washington. How deplorably sad!
