New US Ambassador Nikki Haley strutted into the UN on Friday with a blunt message to American allies: For those who dont have our backs, were taking names.
The former South Carolina governor made the remark to reporters as she arrived at the world bodys headquarters in Manhattan to present her credentials to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

Another oh my god moment..
That whole issue has been so distorted by the TrumpDerangementSyndrome elites
Trump thinks the 1950’s-1960’s concept of NATO is outdated (it is) and NATO should pick up more of the costs for their own defense (they should)
We as did Trump could ask why the US is footing the bill to defend their national borders when they don’t want any (and criticize us for wanting to defend ours)
and why we are defending them against the Red Menace when their own euro-enviro- greenies have made them reliant on Russia for energy
CNN is passing the smelling salts
She'll take names, POTUS will handle the ass-kickng part. It is, after all, a team effort.
“Maybe so, but hes not behind being the banker for it!”
I agree.
Ms. Haley, you’re going to need a bigger notebook and more ink.
She said something about Nato. That her country would spend 2% of her nations GDP so it would be more fair.
If that is her first message to the members at the UN, it is absolutely fantastic and long-overdue.
“PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.”
But you left out the part where she strongly supported Trump’s position that NATO nations needed to fulfill their 2% GDP commitments. Specifically she talked about the cyber warfare issue and defeating daesh as she called ISIS.
I think Trump is behind NATO, but on his terms. Which means that it will serve our interest, not necessarily the Europeans.
I hope not either. It needs to DIE. The faster, the better.
Kinda like the teenage boys contemplating making up a Garage Band.
They get together and talk about it.
Okay, they say, let’s put together an album that goes double platinum, go on world tour to promote it and our second album, then another tour for our third album and finally a Greatest Hits Album.
Then one teen remarks, “But what will we do our 2nd month?”...................
Simply put: AWESOME. We should NOT be funding this CONSORTIUM OF ANTI-SEMITES.
“I think that is Trump’s job.”
That will come in the form of a couple of Executive Orders, cutting the US contributions to the UN “bigly!” Not to zero (yet) but enough that these “perfumed princes” get the message that we’re not their sugar daddy” any longer. I’d personally like to see President Trump also “require” that they all assiduously observe New York City’s traffic laws and that if they don’t, they will be sent home. Diplomatic Immunity doesn’t mean they get to be scoflaws.
Good memories produce more reliable allies
Trump has said that he is for NATO, if everybody pays their fair share, and if fighting terrorism becomes a NATO high priority.
>>My mule doesnt like to be insulted.
He might be thinking about how the horse who surrendered and is pulling a wagon in Kansas feels.
That would be motivational.
