Much as I support Trump - (voted for him twice) - this gives me cold chills. Does he really think he can ignore history? Does he not KNOW post-war European history?

He may be doing this to get a rise out of European leaders, but he's also winding up the isolationist lunatic fringe, such as will shortly be shite-posting this thread. Bad ju-ju Donald.

Honest critiques when he does something questionable or seemingly counter-productive. Our biggest concern right now is making sure he gets reelected & following the safest path to ensuring it. Honing a message & not veering off track or getting stuck in the weeds is what he needs right now. The only people that triumph in elections are the disciplined ones. Being bombastic is fun, but is it really so important that he has to hand the media another negative talking point?
We need to win! Save the bombastic stuff until after he’s won the election 🤔

If defending Europe was so important, no NATO country would have to be told to spend a bare minimum of 2% of its GDP on its own defense.

They’re not isolationist, they are pro China, Iran and Russia.

As for the Trump comment, your concern is unnecessary.

Out of context media crap.

You will be the bad “Juju” of this thread. Do you need some pearls to clutch?

Blah blah blah... mystery-meat full-auto troll and Ukraine harpy.

You are to Free Republic what a used condom is to a school parking lot.

GTFO of FR.

So the European Socialists are upset that Uncle Sugar’s gravy train is being reined in?

I’m shocked, shocked I say!

[Free Louie]

You really are a “Chad.”

Anyone else and he wouldn’t get nominated for dog catcher with rhetoric like this.

Eff NATO!

Eff the twats pushing for more $$$$ to the Ukraine.

Bad juju is continuing to back a corrupt dictator like Zelensky. No elections, no free press, etc. out of that dancing clown. But his heifer goes on shopping sprees and they buy villas. Screw them. They need to begging for the corn out of our poops, instead he’s making millions.

NATO don’t live up to their commitments. Why should Americans pay for the defense of Europe? Majority of Euroweenies pushing climate crap, not building their military. Then the same pushovers cry no oil. So let the Suez Canal shut down. Let them sit in the frozen dark eating bugs.

I want OUR BORDER SHUTDOWN. If the invasion we are suffering doesn’t warrant money or military, then the Euroweenies sure as hell don’t deserve a dime.

Right now, we can’t get enough working M249s to do proper field ops. Dipshit in command left equipment in Afghanistan and sent the rest to be put n the black market after the Ukraine and he gets his cut.

BBC is full of crap. Let the Brits get a working Navy again before the cast shade on Trump.

Trump is telling them that they can't expect America to be their army. They are not bothering to do their part, but they expect the Americans to do all the work. And to make things worse, they routinely criticize America. So why should my grand kids die to defend them when they won't defend themselves?

NATO is a joke. Everyone knows it. Europe has no backbone at all.

Only the military-industrial complex gives a damn about NATO.
