Title pretty well sums it up. We are indeed fed up.
Indeed, we are, my friend. We know it when we hear it.
Can’t always do anything about it though.
So mote it be
Agreed. Very good interview with Gen Flynn.
Yes, good article.
Thanks for posting this article.
Wish the General would give that interview in America, maybe on 60 minutes and make their heads spin.
We have to look at the cost of resourcing the US military around the world. How is that cost incurred, and how is that cost paid for? I'll give you an example. The Chinese get over 40 percent of their oil from the Middle East through the Persian Gulf, but have you ever seen a Chinese aircraft carrier sitting inside the Persian Gulf? For at least 40 years, the United States of America has been guaranteeing Chinese energy supplies. Sitting here today, the US provides funds to, honest to God, 99 percent of the countries on the planet. We even give North Korea humanitarian aid. We give them food, and God knows what they do with it. They probably feed it to the crooks in the headquarters. This is not about an antagonistic relationship with Germany or NATO. This is about looking and examining what the needs are going forward for the 21st century and who is going pay for it.
This is a very good interview, and the editor who wrote the sub-heading about Trump liking authoritarian leaders didn't have a clue. "History is not going to be kind to the last 16 years." Yeah, buddy.
Great article and Trump is 100% correct - as usual.
German per capita GDP is $47K. US per capita GDP is 56K.
I'd say that in the interest of fairness Germany needs to at least double their defense spending.
BTTT
DITTO !!!!!!!!!!

SPIEGEL: After the harsh words about Muslims, many view Mr. Trump as being racist and an enemy of freedom of religion.
It is long past time to point out that Islam is a belief system, not a “race”, when the race card is played. You aren’t born with it.
It is also long past time to point out that forced subjugation of the Infidel is a core value of the “religion”, which really makes it more of a political system. In general, from a Western view, only governments control and regulate use of force to compel behavior.
This is a very substantive interview!
RT is a Russian TV channel that is funded by the Russian government and frequently broadcasts Russian propaganda. Michael Flynn, the former director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, appears on this channel and is undoubtedly paid to do so. At a dinner party in Moscow for the 10th anniversary of RT, Flynn was seated next to the president of RT and Vladimir Putin.
