Trump is still floating the idea that the US should leave NATO

Already a thread here
Trump wants to pull U.S. out of NATO

What Trump wants is for those dead ass socialist countries to pay their fair share. They've been operating on Uncle Sugar's dime for almost 75 years and Trump is the first President to brace the bastards. Those countries can handle their own wars.

Bullshit, twice over.

First off, NOBODY forced the USA to spend the vast amounts on its military, that it does. You all did that voluntarily. You WANTED the biggest baddest military. Now you whine that your military is too expensive. You wanted the best army in the world and you got it, but don't try to pretend that the rest of the world forced you to do this.

So CUT military spending. Don't expect the rest of the world to bankrupt ourselves buying war toys we have no intention of using. The ONLY wars the west has been involved in the past 70 years are wars which the USA got started.

Cut your army, cut your military spending. Close your bases and tell US corporations they/re on their own if their property is attacked abroad.

Russia doesn't even dare invade Ukraine.....Putin wouldn't make it half way into France before he got hit with French nukes....a land war in western europe is inconceivable. Still, as long as they pay their fair share I see no point in leaving the alliance.

What has that to do with the fact that most European countries don't pay their fair share of the NATO defense budget? They begged to join NATO so they would be under the protection of Uncle Sam and they don't pony up their share. The UN countries don't all pay their share either so the US for 74 years have paid the bills PLUS funding most of the programs. Many countries sponge off the US like the welfare and shit holes they are. Trump has threatened to pull out of the UN too. The libtards think we're the bad guys but they don't have the brains of a worm.

You're purposely leaving out how we outspent the Soviet Union and brought about their collapse. Ask anybody in eastern europe what life was like during their occupation...the soul crushing grayness of russian imperialism. You take that for granted and don't even admit that without US military power, there would still be a Berlin wall and millions living in slavery.

NATO is obsolete. Stupid to have troops in Europe to protect them from Russia when they are buying their energy from Russia.

I think China, Russia, and the US should partner up as the worlds power brokers.

A lot of NATO is a relic stuff

yet America has military bases in Germany, Italy, Greece, England, Spain

well we might as well pull out of Japan

Imagine the money that can be saved

But before we spend that money it is best to be sure that Russia can be trusted

The first step is to find out what that secret meeting was about

Trump wants to pull U.S. out of NATO

So do I. NATO is a Cold War relic.

Let Europe finance their own defenses.

Defense against what

Most of them have nukes

why spend a lot a money on defense

why care if Iran or NK gain nuclear weapons

Nuclear deterrence begins with we can nuke you into a question mark in the history books

why care about terrorist

Hey if you leave your country then it is your problem if they discover your not one of them.

lock your doors, build your walls, and put your finger on the trigger

thats what life is all about

why care about maintaining peace

just never leave your house cause if trouble comes to your house you got your finger on the trigger

 

[LuckyDuck]

Would republicans finally doubt him if he was to pull the trigger on this idea ?

Is this collusion as this is exactly what Russia would love

Money well spent by them to get him elected

Remember Putin said after that secret meeting "I wanted Trump to win"

Clearly taunting the American public that he gave the okay for Russian interference in a US election

This secret meeting with Putin and notes of the meeting confiscated by him

Now still pushing for NATO withdrawal

That interpreter needs to be called before congress and testify as what went down in that meeting

The Western European nations have taken in so many Muslims, that in a few years, they will become Islamic Theocracies anyway and we don't need any more ties with Muslim nations. It would be better to align with the Eastern European nations that rejected the Islamic invasion. More importantly, we need to just drop out of the United Nations, declare Eminent Domain on the UN building and sell it to a corporation.

Yup. We saved Europe's ass in two world wars.

Now we pay more than any of the other countries in NATO.

We don't need NATO but they sure need us.
