Ukr To Defend Avdeyevka, Rushes Best Ukr Brigade, West Warns 2nd Bakhmut; NATO Reels Trump Comments (Alexander Mercouris)

Trump stated that he would not defend NATO countries that failed to spend money on their own defense. Alexander points out that it's been known for many years that a number of European countries have been 'freeloading' on the US when it comes to defending their own borders (also, they are letting in illegal migrants and doing nothing about it).
