NATO is strong because of the USA We have the most powerful military on the planet Of course we pay more It's logic It's about keeping NATO as strong as possible It's common sense. Meanwhile on Russian TV Hot Air: Trump and Tucker Carlson are all over Russian state media. https://hotair.com/headlines/2022/02/25/trump-and-tucker-carlson-are-all-over-russian-state-media-n451189 Meanwhile Russia is ignoring the tiny DSA just like the rest of the planet :-) Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Trump is a blowhard businessman without scruples; his plan was to run America sort of like a business, i.e. screw everybody else, try to make a profit if possible, and if things get tough pull the plug and file bankruptcy. His proven business model. |

Being an experienced politician does not make one right. Biden has so far been a bad to below average President, which follows a similar career as a politician. He has been on the wrong side of a lot of things along the way. Of course, I hope he does a good job leading us through the crisis we are now facing. We shall see. He has been wrong, according to a prominent statesmen, on many foreign policy issues. |

Imagine being RonC and thinking that anyone actually cares about his opinion as to how Biden is doing as president. Like, you were just carrying water for Donny’s awful NATO position a few hours ago. You think anyone is looking to you for an unbiased appraisal of Biden?! “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Pulling out was a bluff. A negotiation tactic designed to get those nations to pay more and get serious about defense spending. Thanks to the US, with the money they've saved on military spending, Germany is able to provide universal health coverage and elder care. Trump's threats and complaints about cost sharing policy, resulted in NATO nations getting more troops and more military spending. "It's correct that we have now agreed a new formula for sharing those costs," Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels. "The U.S. will pay less. Germany will pay more. So now the U.S. and Germany will pay the same, roughly 16% of NATO's budget." 'Trump is having an impact': NATO head credits president's tough talk for $100B boost “During the first three years of that effort, originally known as the European Reassurance Initiative, the Obama administration dedicated about $5.2 billion to building up the American military presence in Europe.” “The Trump administration has more than tripled what its predecessor spent on the EDI: A total of $17.2 billion has been requested” "President Trump has been very clear: He is committed to NATO. He stated that clearly just a few days ago and also at the NATO summit in July," Stoltenberg said on "Fox News Sunday." Stoltenberg said the tough approach paid off. "We agreed to do more to step up – and now we see the results. By the end of next year, NATO allies will add $100 billion extra toward defense," he said. "So we see some real money and some real results. And we see that the clear message from President Donald Trump is having an impact." Trump talks about Putin, mocking Merkel and more at Mar-a-Lago “I sent her a white flag,” he said of former Chancellor Angela Merkel. “She said, ‘What is this?’ I said, ‘It’s a flag of surrender so you don’t have to go out and buy a new one.’” |

I’m assuming the part about Donny ever showing respect for the American people and media was a sarcastic joke. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
