But nahhhh…..He was a bad man for wanting to hold the Europeans accountable. He was a bad man for wanting tariffs in their goods and leveling the playing field.
These same fools did everything they could to obstruct the man.
Tucker Carlson commented that, in his opinion, he doesn’t know of any President who had a better instincts of American foreign policy.
It has been nearly 80 years since the end of WWII. Western Europe’s economy is about the size of the US. If Western Europe will not fund and take care of its own defense today, it never will. The American taxpayer cannot defend “freedom” around the world forever. The maintenance of the military industrial complex of a size to project power globally is now destroying freedom at home. We’ve done more than our duty for Europe. Bring the troops home from around the world and secure our own border.
Trump was correct with such remarks as the overly expensive new headquarters for the bureaucracy called NATO, and beyond. To disrupt the status quo was considered "dangerous" by all those for whom the status quo was paying them very well indeed.
When we were legal residents of Germany, we met those who were clearly aware that the US was helping support Germany and were unsurprisingly expecting it to go on in perpetuity. Why not? Other people's money is easy to spend, and when other people's money is withdrawn, those who have been enjoying the gravy train get angry and insulted.
The phenomenon is EXACTLY the same here in the states. Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.
bttt
I guess if I call myself a transgender black female Ukrainian,I’ll get some dough. Right?
I saw that last night.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s way past time to cut Europe off from our money stream, or at least reduce it substantially.Starting with Ukraine.
And get THE UN OUT OF THE US.
Hawley is still part of the problem; he’s a republican. Republicans love foreign welfare. Hawley will stay republican.
Sounds good now do something
We used Ukraine to fight a proxy war against Russia. More than 150,000 Ukrainians are dead, many of which were conscripts that were forced to the frontlines. There country is shrinking. And, it is all the result of our meddling in Ukraine.
I also feel sorry for the average European who is struggling to make ends meet because of the idiotic sanction war we started with Russia.
All this suffering is a result of our foreign policy, one being used to enrich our political elite, their financial backers and the defense industry.
Hawley should recognize the suffering we've caused and have some empathy for the victims in Europe. He needs to put the blame for all this on the Biden regime and neocons within his own party.
Great way of framing a fantastic point!
Trump was right and still is.
Well, look who just got on board the Trump Train.
Germany has made the calculation as to how little they can get away with supporting the proxy war Biden wanted against Russia and is waiting on the war’s end so they can resume importing cheap Russian gas once they contribute to rebuilding the Nord Stream pipeline Biden blew up. That will be the biggest expense Germany had in the war. NATO is one big calculation of self interest when it comes to Europe.

Hold out baits to entice your enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.

>> Let the Europeans Take the Lead on Europe’<<
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Someone displays common sense.
Based on numbers alone, there is no f’n way that the Ukes can beat the Ruskies.
Not ever.
The previous occupant of the White House loved his country.
Present a-holes-in-charge hate it and everything it stands for. America is expected to go down with the Uke ship.
No more vote, Hawley.
Europ has given us socialism Nazism communism 2 world wars purges pogroms final solution leaving Europeans alone to their own devices can lead to a world of shit
