This is largely ignored for the FORDOW centrifuge story.

It shows a clear media bias against this White House,

Wins will be reported in passing….and perceived loss or just not a win will be OBSESSED OVER.

THE NATO SPENDING HIKE IS NEWS!

IT IS A HUGE WIN!

WINNING!!! Bigly!
 
When they actually reach 5% spending then the happy dance can begins.

They may agree but they still have to deal with the reality of it.

I just read an MSNBC story claiming that NATO got what it wanted out of Trump and not the other way around by getting Trump to commit to NATO. Trump was always committed to NATO - as long as they paid their fair share.
 
1/3 of NATO members do not reach the targets. That is the way it is , not every country is as big as the USA or even Russia.They are smaller countries. Still they did join NATO. This argument has been going on for years.

what are they going to do , kick them out of NATO?

If they can contribute that is what matters

Trump just bring us an old argument that has been made for years.

1/3 is not bad. Some countries are just not going to be able to do it. Especially if it peaceful then it becomes hard to increase military spending at the expense of local issues.



So Trump wants to kick them out.

Bad idea when you want allies. The more the better. Just because they cannot afford a large military budget is no reason to deny them entry.

Still if they contribute then it is better than nothing.

Much easier and more effective is US withdrawal from NATO. Let them take care of it.
 
Trolling OP aside, this is a major change. If NATO really did this their combined militaries would dwarf Russia. Poland's spending jumped to about that level and now has more tanks and artillery on order than anyone else in Europe IIRC.
 
That's what happens when you spend money on defence.
In Poland's defense (pardon the pun), they always did. Unlike the Nazis they beat the USSR in a war. :)
I would suggest the Baltic states should form one unitary military so as not to get picked off by the Russians.

5% is difficult though for capitalist/Democratic countries. We are not at 5%.
EDIT: It will be interesting to see the drone revolution in a decade and what has happened. There are strong arguments that the era of $100MM fighters is over.
 
For those lefties who cannot do simple ******* math, this is a good thing that will save the USA billions of dollars, because we were subsidizing the difference.

TELL US HOW THIS IS A BAD THING, EXPLAIN IN GREAT DETAIL HOW IT IS BAD THAT NATO IS PAYING MORE.

It is very cool though. I still don't like what he is doing to this country but getting them to pay for their own common defense, (if they do not wish to speak Russian), is a good thing, without a doubt.

I give credit when credit is due.

Only the Globalists benefit from this renewal of the Cold War against Russia and China. This unnecessary conflict leaves America less willing and able to destroy the jihad, which is a branch of Globalism seeking world domination and Progressing steadily toward that end. We can't survive civilized nations squabbling while ignoring the New World, One World, Third World Order.

Noted.

Of course they are. How can they possibly cover these huge stories as anything bad? Trump gets more done on his day off than Joe Biden got done in a year. And they certainly cannot celebrate all of Trump's accomplishments as GOOD NEWS--- then, how the hell can they justify all of the negative stories coming in a few years about why they must not let Vance be the next president?!

So the only option left is to say nothing at all. When a news media says nothing at all to an ostensibly huge win for America, that is your proof right there that they are leftwing-controlled fake news, just another propaganda arm of the left.

The Democrat Media is simply the publicity wing of the Democrat Party.

I am confident that you are aware of that.

It is not their role to promote anything positive about the other side.
