NATO leaders move to ‘Trump-proof’ the alliance in Washington

[Weatherman2020]

You think that the building will be part of a controlled demolition? How can that happen? On whose orders?

On the order of the King.

 

[Concerned American]

WHy do you hate my country so much? We've done nothing to you.

You'd better look in the mirror. You've been bad mouthing your police state gov't for years now. LOL, short memory?

 

[Seymour Flops]

I assume the reaction of most Trump supporters to this story will be, "oh yeah, I'll show 'em, now I want to vote for him all the more."

It should be the opposite reaction.

Why?

How does out continued disporportionate financial support of NATO help the typical American voter?

 

[scruffy]

You mean since 1812 or so.

Today We Celebrate the Time Canada Burned Down the White House

Two hundred years ago today, a 36-year old America declared war, for the second time, against Great Britain

Wink.

For the record, my dad is Canadian. Which makes me half Canadian. I don't hate your country, just your leftards. But then, I hate all leftards, it's just that the ones in Canada are closer than the ones in Europe.

Don't hate, appreciate and find love. There shouldn't be such a distance between left and right. There wasn't when men died on the beaches of France and there shouldn't be any today.

Win for country. Those who don't care to defend liberty and their nations success are traitors, regardless of ideology.

That's not me hating my country, it is resenting those who spit on the memory of those brave men who died for these liberties that they actively destroy.

 

[Lesh]

The left wing media has it worked out that Americans should applaud the deadbeat NATO nations who refuse to pay their fair share for defense while a mental defective president pretends to be in charge. The U.S. under Biden is looking like the world's patsy.

NATO makes us stronger

YOU make us weaker

It’s not rocket surgery

I don't hate your country nor mine. I object to people who are not citizens attempting to influence public opinion in mine. I don't weigh in on your internal politics and I would appreciate the same consideration.

NATO makes them stronger at our expense.

Former president Donald Trump doesn’t have a seat at the table as NATO leaders gather this week in Washington, but he might as well, as officials strategize about how to adapt the alliance for the possibility that its most senior leader may soon again be a skeptic.

Alliance policymakers have moved control of major elements of military aid to Ukraine away from U.S. command to the NATO umbrella. They appointed a new NATO secretary general who has a reputation as being especially agile with Trump’s unpredictable impulses toward the alliance. They are signing decade-long defense pledges with Ukraine to try to buffer military aid to Kyiv from the ups and downs of politics. And they are pushing up their defense spending, Trump’s single biggest anger point when it comes to NATO.

The gathered leaders on Wednesday agreed that they would support Ukraine “on its irreversible path to full Euro-Atlantic integration, including NATO membership” — wording that was subject to intense negotiation in recent weeks, with President Biden initially opposed to using the word “irreversible.”

The world is bracing for another round with the Orange Buffoon.

Pro-Trump 'Project 2025' is panicking Japan, author says


Trump operated with some guardrails around him during his first term. Staff acted to tamp down his most unhinged impulses. Advisors prevented him from acting on some of his more stupid, illegal ideas (but not the insurrection). And he had re-election in 2020 in mind so some guardrails were self imposed.

It will be no holds barred if he wins again. Members of NATO understand this. So does Putin.

If the President doesn't have a say in an organization that the US funds the majority of cut the funding.

Funny how you loons had no issue with Obama's attempt to undermine NATO.

It is a forum and I don't try to influence public opinion. I try and state the facts and I always hope for America to succeed.

Too many don't care if America succeeds or not as long as they are in control of the sinking ship. THAT is what will end the liberal democracies of the West, a weakened America.

 

[whitehall]

That’s batshit crazy

Batshit crazy is not an argument but sadly it's typical of pot head pop culture today.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Trump was laughed out of the UN because of his stupidity. This why you like him so much.

TDS is deep in this one. You keep describing Biden while talking about your man crush Donald Trump

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Trump will weaken our alliances and make us a weaker nation.

Things that are strength prevents will no longer be prevented

And we will be harmed by it

We are weaker today because of leftist bullshit. You should shut the **** up

 

[scruffy]

"See other thread".

Win for country. Those who don't care to defend liberty and their nations success are traitors, regardless of ideology.

Ideology? Is that what you call it?

I call it something different.

You see what the collectivists are doing to Trump, don't you? It's no different than what Stalin did. Leftards would shoot him if they could. This is no time to make nicey nice with a very dangerous "ideology". We went to France because we had to, not because we wanted to. This time maybe we just open our front doors.

 

[Weatherman2020]

How many wars when Trump was President?

How many Arab nations did Trump get to formally recognize Israel? Five.

Only time in history even one recognized Israel.

Trump walked into North Korea.

What’s Joe done for peace?

Declare that everyone not voting for him are terrorists. A majority of American citizens.

 

[Weatherman2020]

NATO makes us stronger

How exactly does NATO help America?

Most of European military equipment is made in the USA. Europe doesn’t pay their way as they agreed to decades ago.

Let the European ingrates defend themselves for once.

Shit like that emboldens Russia, China, North Korea

Funny how lefties want the rich to pay their "fair share" but when it comes to NATO, they don't have to pay their fair share.
