I just watched Trump on CNN.
He talked about Nato and how we are taken advantage of by the likes of Germany. I couldn’t agree with him more. Germany lives in the shadow of the Soviet gun, yet it is largely American soldiers and equipment that allows them to live safely and spend more of their money on their citizens instead of the military.
It a shame that we have so many senior citizens living check to check, while Germany’s seniors live a life of no worry. I’m tired of Republican politicians checking off all the boxes they think we care about; telling us we have to protect these rich countries.
Trump is the only Republican to have the guts to challenge this type of thinking.
Nato is the vehicle by which tactical nukes are in place in Nato countries.... and as such a target of much espionage.
Poland just got specific missile protection, following the Crimea/Ukraine expansion of Mr. Putin.
Dismantlement of NATO would be a desirable thing for the Putinites in the US... the ones dealing with the Russian mob.... hint.... they are in NYC, and live at the Plaza Hotel on 5th Avenue. Just saying.
YOu don’t sling around concepts like these, lightly or as a trial balloon with a wide net.
Everything you said is true. Add to that the fact that Canada lived for free under the protection of our bomber wings SAC during the cold war. Trump is right! Ti,e for countries to start carrying some of the load and/or pay for our support and protection.
