define “expensive”
the question Europe needs to ask itself is -
does it really make sense to save a little geld while you’re actually financing the Russian War Machine that is trying to ultimately destroy you??
the very money that Europe sends to Russia is used to buy weapons that will be used to ... attack Europe! That’s idiotic!!
Trump’s point was, if you are afraid of Russia, then don’t be dependent on them for your energy, and don’t fund them. And rebuild your militaries.
And if you’re not afraid of them, why do we waste our time with NATO?
Same could be said of our country. We pay China probably trillions each year. They’ll eventually attack us.
