If you are so concerned about other countries, then you can help contribute to their cause.
Let's review. Spend treasure and blood on Turkey or on us?
First off, he completely made up that story, but I digress...it's quite rich of him to tell a country to pay their bills when he's declared bankruptcy four times to wipe away debts he wasn't going to pay.
Maybe he made it up but we know he created a shitstorm amongst the statist when he insisted the NATO partners pay their agreed upon share but was later praised by the same people when the partners actually paid more and that is the point. All of the smart people that have been getting screwed (or screwing us) for decades and paying the lions share for other wealthy western democracies were sure Trump was going to destroy NATO. Turns out, he made NATO stronger.
Was neutral before the game, but started to pull for the 49ers as time went on….
Thinks Kelce showing his azz is what changed my mind on who to pull for. Shoving his head coach and screaming at him, you just don’t do that kinda shat…..and if you do, something should have been done about it.
Bit of revisionist history considering the NATO allies agreed to meet the 2% target over 10 years at the 2014 Summit in Wales and while many did not, they then increased again after Trump left office when Putin invaded Ukraine. And it's now 2024 and Putin is the catalyst for NATO spending...Trump deserves zero credit.
Do you want a list of the revisionist history biden spews? No you don't because you don't care. Just go on and help the dims destroy the country.
Trump is looking for an excuse to pull us out of NATO. What would happen to Europe then?
He’s posturing, has been doing this from the start imo…couldn’t do it on his own if he even wanted to, needs senate approval.
Then they'd really have to pony up to provide for their mutual defense. Seems like the wise path would be to meet their obligations under NATO and avoid that situation. Failing to do so only weakens NATO and every member country, including the USA.
NATO countries do not PAY NATO. They are to maintain a military funded at their 2% of their GDP. You'd think a former President would know that.
Tucker's interview with Putin tells a lot. Putin said that Poland gave Hitler no choice to invade, He also mentioned Poland over 30 times. Do you wonder why?

Love the lack of understanding on what 2% of their GDP on defense really means. I'm sure each of you are experts in global economies and that 2% is nothing in the grand scheme of things in tiny minds. Read a book or at very least something other than Fox News.

Let me see if I can explain it so you'll understand. As of 2016 the U.S. was spending right at 3.6% of GDP on defense. Germany otoh was spending right at 1.2 and was party to an agreement that each country helps with the defense of others. Iows, Germany was getting all of the advantages of you and me helping to pay 3.6% of our GDP on the collective defense while they were able to keep about 2.4% more of their GDP to invest in infrastructure and social projects. Maybe if Canada, Italy, France and Germany all paid 2.5% of their GDP on defense, we could cut some defense spending and use that money here.
I could not of responded any better, well said!!! These woketards are so out of touch on politics. Hell IF this person works for a living, do they not realize their tax dollars goes to these countries that DGAS about USA...
See United States under “contemplated withdrawals”:
The TDS is so strong with some of these I fear they will keel over before we get to 2025!
He’s not perfect, but he is better than what we have in the WH now imo.
Over 30% of the allied deaths in Afghanistan were suffered by non-US NATO countries who came to our aid and supported operations in Afghanistan after 9/11. They provided this support, despite any concerns about invading the "Graveyard of Empires", because of their commitment to NATO.
Read somewhere the other day that only 11 of the 30 or 31 countries are paying/investing at least 2%.
