That's a pretty funny contrast, isn't it? But in most European countries defense is a joke, they assume the USA will come in and fight their wars for them if it comes to that so they get to spend all their money on social programs. It seems as a result Defense Minister is a position where they can put a woman into a position that has visibility but very little responsibility or power. In other words, a token.

That Russian guy, on the other hand, looks like he had to fight a 10 round death match to get the post.

Easy solution: Tell NATO a new appointment is coming. If they say NO, let them know the current appointment has no standing with the US government and does not speak for us. Working with NATO would be “difficult” if she stays.

The Trump approach is to get some wins in the pocket, and to serve everyone notice, that there’s a new kid in town.

Its called the power of the purse.
Unlike the current weenie,
Trump will repeat what Ronald Reagan said. Hey, i paid for this.

With the “power of the purse”, Trump can cutoff any funding necessary to be rid of the problem.

About 68 percent of the entire federal gub mint is teat suckers and should be eliminated.
Let them eat dirt.

[Farmer Dean]

THAT’S a hard man.Look at his eyes.

[Makana]

Putin must be terrified.

The chicks in post 15 look like they are planning to decorate the school gym for a dance
The dude in #18 looks like he’s planning to kill a whole bunch of people

I hope President Trump fires ALL appointees of Clown Prince nobama.
