The only plane Zman is getting.
You listed all NATO countries and you also live in a NATO country.
NATO supports Ukraine, which is why we are shipping them weapons and intelligence.
We oppose Russia, which you are supporting against us.
NATO, a tool of Democrats presidents use to wage war.
Yep. I hate Nato.
What did Trump like about it, do you know?
Tell Ukraine that we left the supplies in Afghanistan , they should go get them.

Trump disliked it becoming weak and set out to build it up and increase its military budgets, that is why he reactivated V Corps and moved it forward towards Russia, and why he built up our nuclear forces in Europe and did away with the 1987 intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) treaty.
Trump wanted NATO countries to disengage from Russian dependency and build up their militaries, by invading Ukraine, Putin has accerated the process that Trump desired.

Even before his inauguration, President Donald Trump shook the foundations of NATO more than any of his predecessors. Then candidate Trump’s statements about the unfair fiscal burden carried by the United States compared with its European allies were nothing fundamentally new in NATO’s nearly seven-decade history. However, his argument that NATO was “obsolete”1 because it was not doing enough to fight terrorism caused puzzlement in European capitals, given NATO’s fifteen-year involvement in Afghanistan. Of even greater concern, however, was his apparent readiness to make conditional the holiest of holies, the US commitment under Article 5 of NATO’s founding treaty to come to the defense of any ally that comes under attack. Trump has suggested that would depend on whether the ally in question had “fulfilled [its financial] obligations to us,”2 specifically whether it had met NATO’s 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) target for defense spending. The President further emphasized this point at the highly anticipated NATO Leaders’ Meeting in Brussels on May 25, where the words “Article 5” were absent from his speech, and he instead chose to focus primarily on European defense spending.
Never has a leading US political figure gone so far as to call into question US treaty obligations to its European allies, and to question the value of NATO itself. Senior administration officials have tempered the president’s statement since then— most notably, Vice President Mike Pence during his speech to the Munich Security Conference in February 2017, when he said that “the United States of America strongly supports NATO and will be unwavering in our commitment to this transAtlantic alliance.”3 Allies and pro-NATO voices in the US Congress have also been reassured by the composition of the president’s national security team and initial engagements with their allied counterparts. Finally, Trump went as far as to recently declare NATO no longer obsolete.4 Although this was positive news for the allies, the ease of the president’s U-turn continues to arouse suspicion.
I know how the media attacked him.
I had to watch as Obama was ruining and weakening NATO while the media praised him to the hilt for being strong and pro-NATO.
I also had to watch as Trump came to the rescue and started shaming and working his way with NATO, to build it back up and make it stronger, and watch the media attack him as causing dissension and hurting NATO.
The liberals were very happy with a weak, ineffective NATO but Trump was proven right and today NATO is following his advice.
I remember it much differently.
Who do you work for?
Having been in NATO I probably paid more attention to it over those many years, and probably felt more despair during the Obama years and more excitement about how Trump was fixing it than you.
You worked for nato?
I’m an American military veteran.
Millions and millions of us have been in NATO, well more than 100,000 are there now.
You really don’t understand this stuff and I guess you are excited about discovering some big secret.
What do you think we have been doing in the American military for the last 70+ years?

“I have been to Russia. Many times.”
Thanks for this information.
The supposed American “Marmemea” admitting traveling to Russia many times...
Lets say this alone, makes this person highly suspicious of being a friend of the Kremlin deep-state.
you got those meds from your pals in Russia too?
Well, that does explain your posts. When are you moving back home to the USSR?
