Germany will CUT defense spending

So you support dissolving NATO?
I support the U.S. drastically cutting defense spending and having a small fraction of its former NATO role
Then you support an America that is basically defenseless and would be easy to take down militarily.

GFY.
That´s nonsense.
Merkel just announced a higher defense budget few days ago, by the way. So we just have Trumpian uncertainty here and have to wait for results.

My source says otherwise. Where is yours?
Read the thread.

Thanks. I deleted.
 
"Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday underscored her commitment to NATO, pledging to raise Germany's defense spending to the alliance's 2% target "by the early 2030s."

"The preservation of NATO is in our own interest, more than during the Cold War," Merkel said while addressing lawmakers in German parliament.

"At the moment, Europe is unable to defend itself," she added, urging the bloc to stay together."

Lol. They're supposed to be at 2% NOW.
No. The 2 % mark is just a recommendation.

Didn't they all commit to 2% spending?

In any event, do you agree that NATO is no longer necessary and should be dissolved?
 
We need to get out of NATO. The Germans certainly aren't worried about the Russians.

Just tariff their luxury vehicles and call it the "NATO Recovery Act". It won't be much, but it's a nice start to recover some costs.

We don´t want a cold war here. It is EU and Russia weakening each other, while the US can stay out of the conflict laughing. That´s not how an alliance works.
I don´t see a common strategic interest. We need a truly defensive alliance that can both include the USA and Russia. Peace will be assured this way. That is what the Nato should exist for, not for made up threats.
 
NATO has been redundant and fractured since Clinton bombed Yugoslavia when he was caught with his pants down. President Trump is the first one to deal with it and now our European "allies" are forced to confront their willingness to defend their own countries. Things are going to come tumbling down since the Brits indicated their resolve to leave the corrupt European Union and side with the United States.
