ransomnote: NATO has been our enemy, trying to destroy America, freedom and Trump. Trump must have beaten NATO like a rug, because they now lie supine at his feet!

I applaud anything that puts disappointed faces on the Fake News propaganda merchants.

As a dutchman myself, I’m fully in agreement with the former Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, who’s taken very courageous stands for truth, in this case against the installed EU puppet, Cruella Fonder Lion.

Dutch King Willem Alexander will hopefully not be instructed to clip Dhr. Rutte’s tail feathers.

Trump won Rutte over with the strike on the nuclear facilities. I guess he’s still a fan.

It was Mark Rutte who confronted Trump in Davos. If you put higher tariffs on us (Europe), we’ll put higher tariffs on you. Trump changed his tune that day. I believe Trump wants Europe to be strong both in terms of military capability and in terms of fortitude.

Rutte is orchestrating 3.5 percent military spending (not 2 percent nor 5 percent, but comparable to what we spend). Germany is on board with 3.5 percent. Germany has a fine main battle tank and the world’s best artillery gun, just not enough of either. And, Germany needs to develop its own air defense system. We need France and Great Britain to come on board. (And also to revive their economies and to kick out welfare-dependent foreigners.)

I believe Trump is the savior of NATO. Getting them to take primary responsibility for Europe. With strong allies our defense is strengthened.

NATO supported with lip service belatedly knowing that their active non-support of the USA equals the end of USA funding for NATO.

They denied use of bases throughout NATO countries.

USA needs to stop funding Muslim Europe’s Defence.
