Yes, what you are saying is consistent with the interview transcript I read with Trump in wapo.
My dream !
“Well, come to think of it, there is no threat from the Warsaw Pact anymore. It might be a good time to dissolve NATO, sign a defense treaty with the UK, and tell the rest of the EU to defend itself.”
Ignorant nonsense, well designed to kill millions of people, including a lot of American military. Also, that is a misrepresentation of what Trump had to say.
The only nations that ever stand with us are Australia, Canada and the UK. I don’t need or want any of the rest of Europe.
Stockman has evidently failed math. Last year, the US Govt spent $1.6 Trillion on Social Security and Healthcare (neither mentioned in the Constitution).
We spent $0.6 Trillion on Defense (mentioned in the US Constitution.
The problem is an out of control welfare state, not alliances that have served us well by preventing another World War.
There are legitimate discussions to have on how well DOD spends money (not well at all IMHO), but to truly affect government spending and the debt, we must at some point wean the general public off the government teat.
Should have dumped NATO years ago...
Run 50,000 Brits thru Camp Pendleton infantry training and send them home with an M-16, a thousand rounds of ammo and a kick-ass attitude. You won’t need NATO in the UK, and bed-wetting leadership will crawl under a rock and the Mooslims will be hanging from lampposts.
“”You wont need NATO in the UK, and bed-wetting leadership will crawl under a rock and the Mooslims will be hanging from lampposts.””
What an excellent idea! Got to start somewhere.
Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay, the first Secretary General of NATO famously said the organization’s goal was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down”
