I suspect President Trump made the threat for the express purpose of cutting off their funding and saving American money. They played right into his hands.

Cutting off whose funding? NATO?

Cutting off the aid the countries who didn’t stand with America.

I had thought of that too - YAY, another way to save money and not look nasty.

We had 28 billion in aid scheduled for 2018.

Let's spend it on the wall, homeless vet shelters, to reduce our debt.

Oh, doodle, it's for the countries we send aid to - you know, the ones who burn our flags and wish us death, etc, the ones who torture dogs slowly to death before eating them, throw gays off rooftops for being gay or slowly slowly hang them in public, the ones who stone women for the crime of having been raped, mutilate the genitals of almost every single female infant born (Jordan), say it is ok to beat women and kill them if they don't want to marry the chosen husband.

Those countries. CUT their aid. Now, President Trump.

Or better yet, yesterday.

"Cutting off whose funding? NATO?"

Why not? Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, for example, has been pissing away all the money they don't have to spend on defense on stupid 6 week vacation social giveaways, and coughing up the money to finance an Islamic invasion.

Any US troops in Germany, now, are nothing more than a speed bump, with no strategic value. There is no way, with our current lack of heavy lift aircraft, and US flagged shipping, for us to prevent the Russians from spending the summer on the French Riviera by the time we could move to stop them.

They don't want us there, so scroom. Defending Europe from the Red Menace might have been a good idea, 50 years ago. Today? It's a waste.
