Trump scolds NATO allies on defense spending

No. You fabricated that. We all already knew that. Just because you just figured it out doesn't make it news to everyone else.

 

I didn't fabricate anything, I simply mentioned that the word usage suggests a certain misunderstanding.

 

Oh ffs at all the Semantics arguing guys hehe.

OK now look here DENSE persons. Just like in the election how Trump played the media and the Democratic party into playing his game?

Same thing here. Yes he ran around that summit like a bull in a China shop and yes he hurt some Euro leaders lil fweelins but that's what we elected him to do. We elected him to shake things up!

Trump played them and they are dancing

I mean he was so positively obnoxious and blunt ( they hate blunt) that the Euros are really publicly saying We now see we have to look after ourselves more. Hooray for POTUS.

My analogy for the US and Europe is.. The US is the millennial parent who enables the grown college kid ( Europe) who still lives at home and the parent drives around and pays all their bills. But now Mommy and Daddy ( that's us the American taxpayer) we... Have decided we want our own life.

Get a job and pay your own *****

 

Yeah, he must have given Angela Merkle the real cold shoulder. She's not happy. I say; Good for Trump.

 

Right. Europe was devastated after WW II. We were glad to help with the rebuilding efforts and protect them from the Soviets while they recovered in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's.

But the war ended 72 years ago. It's time to grow up and stop relying on us.

The same goes for Japan.

 

In Ireland they're saying Trump is the world' biggest fecking prat.

 

Well Ireland has been brainwashed into fascism

 

You know nothing about Ireland either then.

 

The irony is; the Anti-fascism party it practicing fascism. Smoke & Mirrors.

 

Wow. That's very intellectual.

 

Actually your correct. I'm just being ornry towards that earlier comment.

 

It shows how off base our financial elite has gotten.

 

Is that today's Trumper fantasy? That's a new one. But every day is a new reality for Donnie's boys.

 

Yep ... since 2009 they are, but re-thinking about again to leave!
Please don't reply Trump's mentally BS about political matters without using your own brain before - thank you!

 

That's just dumb and wrong. You can't have a collective defense agreement with people who prefer dainties, who won't maintain their arsenal, who stay drunk and are perpetual ef-offs. sheesh!

 

Who cares. What matters is that our partners are falling down drunk, leaving us to do double duty. If you don't see the imbalance in that, then what you think doesn't even matter. And btw, every member does donate a portion to NATO.

 

Wow, a truly intelligent and germain to the point response.

Gee you must have data comparing alcoholism rates in different countries. Please feel free to provide your data. Ha, ha.

 

Been talking about this for years. Europe talks out of both sides of their collective mouths on this. Eager to take advantage of the collective wealth of the USA and live under the promise of defense against 60 divisions of Russians sitting on the Ukrainian border. Meanwhile channeling the extra cash into welfare programs and bringing cheap labor into their countries to prop up their staggering pyramid schemes. Then they have the audacity to shake their spoiled fingers at the us and call us ignorant warmongers. The utter hypocrisy of it makes me want to scream. But like any adult does with a spoiled child you drag it along kicking and screaming for its own good. Bravery in the face of threats left Europe long ago.

 

Europe is throwing a full blown temper tantrum. They know they need us. We don't need them.

 

The only one who is throwing a temper tantrum is the one crying for more money. Europe just said, "no we will do it in our own time, bye".

 

"bye"?

LOL. They're going to say "bye" when we take their entire defense missile shield down?

That's the funniest **** I've heard today

 

Defense missile shields are so 1960's, meanwhile no European countries have said that they will increase spend now on defense and may fulfill the 2% mark by 2024 but little doubt that will slip. BTW, missile defense shields are not expensive and France have their own system, It's about time that the US realised that conventional warfare will not ever return. Military expenditure is the biggest cash cow for any government

 

Good! I look forward to the US pulling out of Europe. I also look forward to taking the phone off the hook when Russia makes their way back into Europe.

 

If we have to carry them now. How do you expect them to do it on their own, and alone.

 

Its so refreshing to have a President telling the world; If your not going to take care of your own house don't expect the American taxpayer to do it for you.
