Italy PM Meloni freaked out over Trump possible pullout of troops from her country

[Mac-7]

I don't see Meloni "freaking" as the OP breathlessly declares

She responded pretty fast

And her position was an emphatic “Dont go” rather than “Who cares?”

 

[Concerned American]

So lessee--- first she refused to let us land or fly over and now she wants to refuse to allow us to leave?

Sorry, Hon, it doesn't work that way. We are not interested in someone who "honors their commitments," we are interested in a friend who has our backs when we need them, and we sure have asked so little of Italy in ages.

Tell her to call the Vatican, maybe Pope Leo can send back up.

Didn't take long for Merz to change his tune after his bluster that led to Trump's threat either.

By the way things are going? Shiet. Western Europe may need America, Russia, and China to help them get rid of the muslim problems the retards brought onto themselves.

Spain has their back.

It has nothing to do with some false premise of self rigteeousness, the take their instructions from their China-First global socialists and Iran is an ally of China.

America stands alone. The MSS have destroyed the world order and absolutely crushed the old Western European civilizations through effective intelligence influence.

Remain close to Japan and a few other loyal, American loving societies. Western European politicians are bought and sold, they will all sell their citizens out, just as Merkel did. Only one will win, China or America. Bet on it

Our Have-Nots Have Been Had by Our Haves

China is a great market, even for Canadian products. Our plutocracies don't need any more wealth; all they care about is depriving Commoners of opportunities. They love this Cold War II because it freezes the rest of us out.

She was supposed to be "far-right" but turns out to be another Spanberger clone....Made in Italy.

She's some mullah's goomah. At least she looks better than a goat.

Do you think she was right? Was Trump's war against Iran a mistake?

 

[toobfreak]

She isnt happy
In fact she’s scared shitless

Trump should pull out of all these countries, pull out of NATO and the UN, let the Europeans run the shit for a year, see how it goes, let them be solely responsible for fending off Iran, N.Kor., China and Russia, then in a year, we shall see.

Does any foreign country have troops staged here protecting us?

If we go back, I say, one country, one share. We contribute the same to NATO and the UN dollar for dollar, same as Spain, the UK, or Italy does.

 

[Divine Wind]

It was an overblown issue, they normally don’t allow combat missions straight out of Italy bases.

Isn't everything about Trump overblown?

While Meloni might be upset about the loss of income, the loss of US security out of Trump's pettiness is a serious concern.

We have a petty child as president and he is hurting the United States.

Trump told NATO members to fork up and contribute more for defense. They didn’t listen. They laugh. Trump had the last laugh.

So he wants to cut off his nose to spite his face like a child?

No. We can use those troops to defend this country’s borders instead.

That's always been a sore subject with me toob, WTF do we have to pay these countries rent to have bases on THEIR soil to provide THEM with security. Makes no sense.

LOL, the deadbeat NATO and UN members who DON'T pay their share seem to have rather short noses by your definition. Are they acting like children?

I have no problem with partners paying their fair share. What I have a problem with is a spoiled children scream and threatening to take his ball home with him at a cost of US national security.

I did not know we were paying them. We are as much there for our own benefit as theirs, in fact, our interest in being there for our benefit was only because we were willing to stage there in the interests of democracy.

So if anything, our staying there should be for free: they supply the land for our base, we build the base, then man it and our people spend money there supporting their economy. And should we ever leave, they must pay us an agreed to price for whatever we invested in leaving behind.

But you think its ok for those deadbeat countries to extort the US for security without paying for it---sounds like they want a Marxist Utopia. I think its time the bank closed.

Bingo, I've got no problem with that ^^^. Do you remember in 1992 when the Corazon Aquino gov't wanted more rent?
The U.S. military bases in the Philippines were officially closed in 1992, after the Philippine Senate rejected a new bases treaty, which was influenced by demands for higher rent and other issues during Corazon Aquino's presidency.

Nope. Your assessment of me is erroneous and crosses the line of lying. I never trust liars. They are evil.

I didn't lie. You chose to attack the country who pays the lions share of these orgs. Do you deny that you are trying to vilify the US for tending to our economic interests without requiring the deadbeats to carry their end? You are attacking the wrong country dude. If you call that a lie, you need to reassess your definition.
