In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump suggested that this country of fewer than a million citizens could somehow provoke a global conflict. His reply to interviewer Tucker Carlson caused jaws to drop on the Adriatic coast.
"Let's say Montenegro, which joined last year, is attacked," Carlson told the president. "Why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack?"
He was referring to Article 5 of the Nato founding treaty, which sees an attack on one member as an attack on all. Mr Trump understood his point. "They're very strong people, they're very aggressive people. They may get aggressive and, congratulations, you're in World War Three," Mr Trump extemporised.
Mr Trump's depiction of Montenegro as a nation of conflict-crazy lunatics will probably come as a surprise to the million tourists who come each year to enjoy the mountains and beaches.
"He's the strangest president in the history of the United States," Ranko Krivokapic told the BBC.
Mr Krivokapic knows a thing or two about being a president. He served as President of the Parliament of Montenegro from its independence in 2006 until 2016 - and remains president of the opposition Social Democratic Party.
It is fair to say he is unimpressed with the current US president's approach to diplomacy and world affairs. "With this kind of president, with his knowledge of foreign policy, who knows what is going on? Foreign policy is not his big thing."
Boris Raonic, programme director at the Civic Alliance human rights organisation, was among those who could barely believe what they were hearing.
"We are used to having [a US president] who unites and promotes Western values; now, instead of a leader, we have a showman." Mr Raonic says even this would not matter so much if Mr Trump had bothered to study the countries and issues about which he was making snap pronouncements. "He is obviously not reading what the state department prepares for him, so we get these stupid statements, which clearly show a lack of knowledge and respect for role that the US had until now."

Id guess the chances of your sons going anywhere where the thing being hunted has anything like a possibility of firing back is....ooh 0%.
Even conflicts that I assume Trump holds with more regard, ones perhaps instigated by his own actions, still wouldnt be significant enough to send his kids.

Why did he say 'my son' then?
Or was he using rhetoric to imply some sort of non existent connection between his wants and the people's?

dusty you have just said that his son wouldn’t have to fight , that’s true
Now if that’s the case what do you think he meant and why would he say it
He was referring to America , and why should America fight
Does that make sense ?, or do you think he was saying why should his son fight only
Try and think logically

I think he was using his tired old tactics of disruption.
Saying there are degrees of equal, and its upto america to decide on them....and more specifically him.(who may counter his own arguments on a whim as he sees fit)
He's a money worshipping stooge from the tv generation of dimwittedness and completely out of his depth in diplomacy.

I suppose you think WW2 started when Poland became "too aggressive".
Trump is an idiot, there is as much chance of Montenegro attacking Russia as there is the Isle of Man attacking the USA.
And they start murdering people , you know
The same way they did in WW2
