WINNING: Trump Doubles NATO Countries Paying Financial Obligations, Warns 'Delinquent' Countries Must Pay Up

"Under President Donald Trump, the number of countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alliance meeting their treaty-imposed financial obligations has doubled. Additionally, NATO spending has increased $130 billion and is on track to be boosted to $400 billion by 2024. Meanwhile, as promised by President Trump, the United States’ hefty contribution to the alliance has dropped from 20% to 16%."

The US still spends about $25b a year to keep US troops in the EU. We have been keeping troops there since 1945, about 75 years.
So we need to stop borrowing money to protect the EU from Russia, who the EU buys gas from so Russia can pay for its military. WTF?
The US needs to cut spending, and the military is a good place to start, unless the EU wants to pay for the expense of keeping the US troops there?

That is some serious fucking leadership and some serious fucking winning.


130 billion more dollars, is a lot more actual capability by these assholes, instead of being irresponsible children.



Well, less of being irresponsible children.

Or just walk the fuck away.


it is insane that we are committed to protecting the Baltic Republics.

The Deep State Has the Sadz (and That’s a Very Good Thing).

The real “crisis” for former State Department bureaucrats and their colleagues who have been recycled back to the Ivy League campuses from whence they came is not that Trump poses an existential threat to national security—it’s that he poses a legitimate threat to their professional sinecures.

Vile Self Entitled Scum.

As House Democrats invited Ivy League shrews to publicly grind their Trump-hating axe during Wednesday’s disastrous impeachment charade, President Trump returned home after confronting our allies again about their lagging financial support of NATO. The stale pact turns 70 this year and like too many Boomers these days, NATO is out of fresh ideas and still listening to worn tracks of “Back in the U.S.S.R.” while the rest of the world is listening to Drake.​

Also, like so many Boomers, NATO members have made financial promises they won’t keep, stacking up IOUs for someone else to pay and hoping no one notices. But Trump, a Boomer himself, is having none of it.

Two-Faced Trudeau has two faces, one White and one Black

Trump used a press conference to challenge Trudeau. “We’ll put Canada on a payment plan, I’m sure the prime minister would love that,” Trump jabbed when asked by a reporter about Canada’s reneging on their NATO pledge.

Since 2016, delinquent NATO allies have coughed up an additional $130 billion in new defense spending. Trump also is redirecting NATO’s focus away from Russia and insisting the alliance address more serious threats such as cybersecurity, Syria, terrorism, and China.

But it’s not supposed to happen this way. Any progress with America’s allies—or enemies—only can be achieved, we are cautioned, through proper channels of carefully constructed diplomatic finesse.

Very important people with very important advanced degrees from very important universities must be involved at every step. Coaxing American allies to stop welching on their debt requires many white papers and think tank conferences and pricey parties at well-appointed embassies.​
