Trump isn't leaving NATO. He threatens so they pony up their financial commitments. When Trump took office, there were only 4 NATO countries contributing at least 2%, and that includes US. So only 3 others. When he left, every single country except Canada under their fuck head Trudeau, had increased their contributions. So, his threats do work.

I agree. Those that don't pay, should not receive.
|
|
And when Trump left, there were 9 countries at the 2% number or greater. Give him 4 years and I bet he can double that number again.

honestly i think many of the european leaders are worried if trump can be trusted, one way or another - he says stuff like this and it creates uncertainty.

But it gets their asses in gear to up their defense spending. They don't know if he is bluffing or real. Keep them guessing and NATO will only get stronger as they fear for their own lives.
Many of the NATO countries, including the likes of Germany, Belgium, Italy, Denmark, etc. have been well below the 2% number. They have always felt the U.S. will bail them out if needed. And we always have done so in the past.
It is high time they understand, the threat is on their own continent and thus, they need to step up.

russia attacking in europe got them in gear, and trumps threats puts it way up in priority.

Uncertainty is a good thing for these POS Euro-fuck lazy asses.
FINALLY, they're starting to pony up for their own defense instead of covering their social welfare net while making the US pay up for everything.
But, Trump says really really dumb stuff just to get headlines.
Fucking journos shouldn't even bother giving him any ink.
Trump would die in news darkness, his ego would just wither away without all the press.
Am I the only one that will be celebrating his death?
Along with Uncle Joe's demise?
Swear to god, they will name a street after Biden and Trump will get his name on a port-a-potty lol

Trump is not my first choice, that is for sure. But I would rather vote for him than have another 4 years under Biden or anyone that currently might slip in as his replacement, Harris, Newsome, Obama, Whitmer...

Yup Trump is the best choice at this point.

Truly this is the geopolitical sophistication apposite to our century.
Listen junior. Strategically speaking there is no such thing as continents anymore. Do you know how many times Article 5 has been invoked since NATO was founded? Do you peasant? Do you?
Once. After 9/11. Our allies came to us without hesitation. We owe them the same. And not only for them. But because the flight of a supersonic missile from Europe to America is about 15 minutes.
There are no financial requirements written down in the NATO alliance. Because it was a treaty written by and for men of honor. Something you would know nothing about.

"Uncertainty is a good thing for these POS Euro-fuck lazy asses."
Nothing better to embolden a tyrant like Putin than to make those wanting to contain him feel uneasy about U.S. participation in the alliance.
Trump's financial issues, caused by the judgments against him, it makes it much more easy to buy him. Putin knows this.
If you were going to help out your rich buddy Putin, would you just say that or would you find another excuse to fuck up the NATO alliance?
Trump told his cabinet members that he wanted the U.S. to leave NATO. You're only giving Trump the benefit of the doubt because it is perfectly clear that Putin is the tyrant that everyone has claimed he was after Navalny's murder. Like it wasn't enough that he started an unprovoked war against Ukraine and vowed to reconstitute the U.S.S.R by taking over the rest of the former Eastern Block countries.

thats very fast
Avangard: Revolutionizing Hypersonic Technology. The Avangard missile has earned its reputation as a game-changer in hypersonic technology. Developed by Russia, the Avangard is capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 27, or 32,200 kilometers per hour.
But the range is only 6000 km, not enough to reach US continent.

FUCK europe!!!
They've been living under the protection of the US sine 1946.
We rebuilt their cities so now let them take care of their own defense!
The smartest thing RFK or trump could do would be to take the US out of nato and use the savings to pay down the debt, fix our infrastructure and give us the peace dividend we were promised when the cold war ended.
The whole ukraine war wouldn't have happened if the fucking morons in dc and europe would have kept their promise and not expanded nato a 1000 miles to the east!!!

^ fucking over Europe like this would turn international and financial allies into aggressive competitors, and the power and financially of the United States would greatly diminish. What we would be spending to shore up our international interests abroad would increase exponentially due to self-inflicted stupidity.
“Cut off your nose to spite your face” never seemed so appropriate for such a dumb post.

None of that would happen, or at least not to the degree you think it would.
Regardless of what you or europe or anyone else thinks the US is still the straw that stirs the drink.
Would they be pissed cause now they'd actually have to take care of their own defense taking away from their socialized medicine etc. Absolutely. So what. They've sucked on the tit of the US for the last 70+ years - time to cover you're own shit.
They're going to be pissed no matter what - If RFK gets the White House he's already said he's going to start closing bases and cut the defense budget to a reasonable 5 - 600 billion. That'll put a lot of people that work on them and the businesses that supply those bases out of work.
All of that is going to piss them off.
Does that mean he shouldn't do it? Absolutely not.
It's time the US actually started putting it's citizens and the country first.
Again - FUCK europe!

Sure there is, dummy!
Have a very very weak vacillating OLD POS President who constantly appeases Iran and is so focused on a re-election that he's unwilling to provide what's needed to crush Russia in Ukraine or fully and entirely kick some Houthi ass!
After the Afghan debacle, EVERYBODY knows that Uncle Joe is a weak pussy.
You know that you Dems don't ALWAYS have to come to the defense of a Dem pol, just because they're a Dem............right?
And, Joe can be a complete POS without having anything to do with Trump........right?
These things can be mutually independent........but every time someone points out what a crap decision Biden makes, you guys defend him in knee-jerk fashion even when common sense tells you that Joe fucked up again.
Are you absolutely sure you're NOT just Russian bots?
|

Yeah fuck Joe. I bet my granpaw can beat the shit out of Joe.

Yappy............peasant yappy............comrade yappy
"Because it was a treaty written by and for men of honor."
Men of honor pay their debts...........like paying for your own defense and not constantly depending on your big brother like you're couch-surfing at his home without a job.
Men of honor pay their college loans too lol
Of course, understanding this is well beyond your IQ, but you do you short-bus
