Trump Says We've Never Needed NATO

[Lockback]

This is once again another example of shameful conduct by the president. The USA is the only country to ever invoke Article 5 of the NATO treaty, following 9-11, and our allies showed up. Their militaries lost lives also.

Totally disagree with Trump on this one.

If it wasn't for the United States entering WWII we would all be speaking German.

1. Trump says something triggering
2. The usual suspects get the vapors
3. Time passes
4. Trump says something triggering
5. The usual suspects get the vapors.

Repeat ad nauseum.

We saw what NATO was worth when they "surged" to Greenland a couple weeks back.

And it worked, too. TACO backed down with the military threats.

Those troops were an Article 5 tripwire, just like our troops in West Berlin were during the Cold War.

It will be to our country's eternal shame this had to happen.

You're get dumber by the day. You don't understand Trump, even after 10 years of him dominating your life.
Everything is a negotiating point for him. And you're too dumb to have figured that out.
Still.

You're welcome to your opinion, perhaps the US should pull all of its funding from NATO, and see how much we really 'need' them.
You can be allies without a political framework and a huge bill attached to it.

We formed NATO to counter the scourge of leftism from the Soviet Union. Now it seems that most of our NATO "allies" are further to the left than Russia. Much further.

As I keep saying, Donald Trump is a Soviet asset.

You Never-Trumpers are Putin's assets

He just keeps insulting them. I honestly don't get it.

He has no idea how to behave like a serious adult.

So what were you afraid of exactly? The 30 or so troops there from Denmark?
Who would have done what if Article 5 was triggered? With what?
The only eternal shame is that Never-Trumpers allowed Joe Biden to be elected in 2020.

 

[Edgetho]

Even that wouldn't have happened.

They were never going to invade England and were in retreat everywhere after Stalingrad.

Negatory. We bombed their Heavy Water production facilities in Norway. Had it not been for that, you might very well be speaking German right now.

Ever heard of the V2 Rocket? Which was Technology taken from Robert Goddard, an American.

Robert H. Goddard - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Had the Germans developed Nukes, they would have taken out the UK which would have eliminated 90% of the threat to them from the USA.

We would have sued for peace, the Germans would have broken the agreement after they developed the V2 enough to hit us -- and conquered us. No doubt about it.

This Country was FUCKED UP during the FDR Admin. Our Army was a joke, a bad joke and our Navy was hurtin' for certain.

Sorry, but you just don't know WTF you're talking about.

The biggest thing that kept Germany from kicking everybody's ass in WW2 was -- Hitler. He was a Military Idiot. He should have by-passed Stalingrad and he should have protected the Italian Navy, which was fromidable, from the Brits and their silly Bi-Plane torpedos. Among many other catastrophic blunders. The Wehrmacht was the most formidable fighting machine in Human History. Nobody even gets close. Not the Romans, not the Mongols...... Nobody

socialists aren't only stupid, they are incompetent. And yes. Hitler was very much a socialist. Very much. As in, Totes

Yet another brilliant post and great observation.
All too true, sadly. They've all gone the way of the former Soviet Union ...

Serious adults spend their entire day on the Internet bashing Trump for absolutely no benefit, right? You serious adults waste your lives, while Trump spends his day as POTUS.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

It's pretty disgraceful that Trump would denigrate the efforts of allied soldiers who fought alongside us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But then again, what else is new?

How many of our US soldiers did we lose in WW1 and WW2? Yeah, I think we paid our dues bailing europe out twice. They owed us.

 

[g5000]

So what were you afraid of exactly? The 30 or so troops there from Denmark?

You clearly do not understand the meaning of a military tripwire.

Did you bleev our troops in West Berlin would have successfully halted a Russian invasion?

Nope. They were sacrifical lambs. A tripwire.

Just as the NATO troops in Greenland were.

It will be to our eternal shame that Trump brought the world to this point.

Trump has not only been the worst president ever. He has now succeeded in making such a black mark that the next hundred presidents will be unable to perform worse than him.

He will forever be at the bottom of the list.

the Soviets only beat them because of the US support provided, without us the Soviets would have starved and been beaten back to the Urals.

Do you ever tire of being a completely useless idiot, or do you strive to be a bigger one.

We owe Denmark for our very existence, dipshit. And France.

 

[martybegan]

What did the Danes do to allow our existence?

France I get due to the support at the end of the Revolution, but Denmark?

 

[g5000]

We supported the Soviets because they kept Hitler occupied and bled the German military while we built up our forces for the Normandy invasion.

The Soviets lost 20 million lives for us.

No, we don't owe them anything. We saved them twice. France with the revolution. We repaid that debt many times over.
