President Trump has a beef with NATO. He's called the alliance "obsolete" and accused other members of not spending their fair share. "We are spending a tremendous amount in NATO and other people proportionately less," he said during the campaign. "No good." When it comes to costs, Trump has a point. Only five of NATO's 28 members -- the U.S., Greece, Poland, Estonia and the U.K. -- meet the alliance's target of spending at least 2% of GDP on defense.

Germany is far down on the list. I guess they need their money for other things, like for crazy social experiments.
NATO sure helped Clinton and Obama when they used our aircraft to bomb the snot out of former allies who were enemies of Islam.
So we’re cutting NATO off now - interesting news prophetically speaking.
1. It paves the way for the new European Union Army
2. Along with this, moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem will start all sorts of problems with the sons of Ismael.
3. Read this take from “Zerohedge”
Angela Merkel’s EU Army Poses the Greatest Threat to World Peace in 2017
Stuff is moving so fast I can barely keep up.
The U.S. Should leave NATO. Germany’s army will probably be mostly Moslems. What could possibly go wrong there?!
LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said NATO was obsolete because it had not defended against terror attacks, but that the military alliance was still very important to him, The Times of London reported.
I took such heat, when I said NATO was obsolete, Trump told the newspaper in an interview. Its obsolete because it wasnt taking care of terror. I took a lot of heat for two days. And then they started saying Trump is right.
Trump added that many NATO members were not paying their fair share for U.S. protection.
A lot of these countries arent paying what theyre supposed to be paying, which I think is very unfair to the United States, Trump said. With that being said, NATO is very important to me. Theres five countries that are paying what theyre supposed to. Five. Its not much.
The US should absolutely get out of NATO.
The krauts apparently haven’t learned anything from their sick past.
Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood."
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

I actually laughed out loud. To think that this vacuous bimbo was once the spokesperson for a Republican President is a genuine disgrace.
The landing-on-the-fainting-couch-vapors about Trump calling out NATO is equally preposterous: EVERY US President in my lifetime except Eisenhower and Kennedy -- including Barack 0bama -- has tried to pressure most of the other NATO counties into fulfilling their 2% obligation.
Why is their refusal to honor a treaty they've signed more outrageous than our demand that we'll need to reconsider the treaty if nobody is willing to honor it?
I wonder, would countries such as France and Spain dance to Merkel's tune? I guess they might, if the money was right. Plus, strongmen like de Gaulle and Franco are long gone.
Pinging the End Times ping list
Europe wanted Turkey and they now have a serious islamic problem . They are not rising, they bowing to islam.
Unfortunately this is true. It won’t work out well for them.
I think we’re gonna see some inklings of Zechariah chapters 12 and 14 coming up.
We’ll see.....
While we are getting out of NATO.....Let’s make it a twofer...get OUT of the United Nations too..!!
Amen to that.
“The real estate developer...”
He’s the President of the United States!
