Deadbeat Dads or Deadbeat NATO countries. Pay up.

[MarathonMike]

Meet your obligations. No excuses. We've had nearly 20 years of NATO countries quietly bailing on their financial commitments to NATO. We've had 20 years of American Presidents wringing their hands with a weak grin saying "you know, maybe you guys could pay a little more, and I don't mean that in a bad way, and and only if you want to. Gosh hope that wasn't too harsh".

Trump is the first President with the cojones to stare them in the eye and simply say "Pay up". Just like deadbeat Dads bailing on child support. It Isn't fun but it's your responsibility.

Charles Krauthammer says the amount those countries owe is a drop in the bucket. Won't matter a damn when it counts. And he reminded us that the 5th has been declared just once--to defend the U.S. after 9/11. So I don't think it's so cool to be dunning them like deadbeats. If they pay more, fine. I haven't got anything against it, either, but the way Trump approached it is NOTHING to be bragging about, imo.

If the US wasn't the arms dealer to the world, often supplying both sides of a given conflict, maybe we wouldn't require so much from NATO. Lecturing NATO while making a $110B arms deal with the Wahabist Saudis is schizophrenic, but that IS US foreign policy; schizophrenic.

There are many arms dealers to the world. Those countries allied to the US and can afford them are recipients and have been for decades. Other countries purchase the arms they can afford from less regulated suppliers.

War profiteers need endless war, and "terrorism". Pretty straight forward stuff.

When you put it like that, you might have a point.

Well who WERE previous presidents saying it to? Just complaining here at home and then not mentioning it at meetings? If so, maybe that means all those other presidents didn't find it terribly important in the grand scheme of things. Like Krauthammer said.
Besides, it was a tacky sell. He sounded like a credit collector without the thick Indian accent.

That's stupid kid. We are talking about arms manufacturers who simply need countries willing to defend themselves from aggression. Societies have police forces for very much the same thing in an internal sense.

If you take the blessings of simplification too far, you are left with nonsense.

We do partner in that, yes. And we sold North Korea nuclear reactors a mere two years before they wound up on an "axis of evil" list. Sold from a company Don Rumsfeld had once sat on the board if directors of. Utterly bipartisan little episode initiated under Clinton and wrapped up under Bush. And the US taxpayer provided funding to assist in the closing of the deal.
