The European Union this week tried to muzzle a US presidential candidate by threatening the CEO of an American corporation. It’s time to re-evaluate our relationship with NATO.



The American people can’t pretend the European Union’s attempt to extort Elon Musk on Monday — threatening to punish him unless he canceled his planned interview with President Donald Trump on X — didn’t threaten to fundamentally change our relationship with longstanding European allies.
Fully 22 of the 27 countries that belong to the European Union also belong to NATO, meaning that they benefit from the U.S. security umbrella and from our obligation under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty to defend them if they’re attacked.

This works out well for Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.

It’s sometimes less of a good deal for the United States, which has long shouldered a disproportionate share of Europe’s security burden.


And there is the rub. Trump was demanding these NATO countries pay their fair share, something the Biden administration refuses to do, and these NATO countries no problem trying to alter democracy in the US to achieve their ends, the same countries that lie about supporting democracy.
 
Let NATO take care of Europe, and America can take care of Americans.

Wrong! Disband NATO, reform (or disband) the EU, and send all the Americans home to fuck themselves.
Keep our money here where it belongs. We can't afford to be the world's babysitter.
If you follow my advice (just above) then you and I will both be satisfied.

Ps. The UN should also be disband.

Now if they'd just toss our money back! You know, the billions and billions we hand out yearly. See any of the names you think we have been "tossed out" of?

It's more like hand out than tossed out. You all need to start standing on your own two wobbly feet and forget about the US/ATM.

Quit whining and just go. You people are such sore losers. :crybaby:
 
If it's in our pockets then it's ours. It's called "possession", Bonzo Boy.

If you shook hands and don't like the deal you got then it's you who is weak. :biggrin:
We aren't shaking your hand we are trying to get it back in your pocket instead of ours, Leech.
Your reading comprehension sucks, Bonzo. You don't like the deal you got but you shook hands to get it. It's you who's complaining, not the NATO member states.
