I suspect that the context for Trump's anti-NATO rant is his deep-seated commitment to dissolving the alliance. The current situation provided a pretext to publicly push his anti-NATO bias.

Trump clearly sees Russia as a preferable strategic partner, and maybe he's right.

The US is not in as strong of a position as Trump thinks. Everyone needs allies.
