NY Post ^ | 1/27/17 | Yaron Steinbuch

New US Ambassador Nikki Haley strutted into the UN on Friday with a blunt message to American allies: “For those who don’t have our backs, we’re taking names.”

The former South Carolina governor made the remark to reporters as she arrived at the world body’s headquarters in Manhattan to present her credentials to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

The US, Britain and I think Poland are the only ones paying the minimum 2%

>>Trump thinks the 1950’s-1960’s concept of NATO is outdated

Even more outdated if ya’ toss a paperclip down this rabbit hole...

It seems the talented Mr. Gehlen was more creative in his efforts to manufacture job security than than he was a source of reliable Intelligence.

I hope Nikki has more backbone in this job than she did after that punk shot 9 church-goers in my state because of their skin color.

She took down the Confederate Flag because she wanted to appeal to the GOPe and it was the only way she could see to be considered for a national job. Little did she know that Jeb! or little Marco or the Cruzinator wouldn’t win the nomination.

The middle ground is fast approaching the point of a “no man’s land” and rightfully so. It’s time for many of our supposed friends / allies to pick a side.

“For those who don’t have our backs, we’re taking names.”

YES! Thank God! Finally, America the strong is back! Greatest friend to her allies, strongest foe to those who want to see her destroyed! No more cuddling up to America's enemies!

Only an insane person could call president Trump a racist and misogynist.

even the percentage of GDP is deceptive when compared to gross dollars spend on NATO obligations.

do you have a graph that would convert these % values to real dollars?

imo, it would be off the charts.

“PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.”

but she followed immediately with statements about NATO nations needing to meet the requirements of spending 2% of GDP on NATA/self-defense. For anyone paying attention, that wasn’t a throw-away statement: that was actually saying “you deadbeats are all gonna have to pony-up or else President Trump is gonna cut the amount of U.S. support of NATO”.

> PM May just said Trump was 100% behind Nato. I hope he is not.

And May just said “the peaceful religion of Islam”.
She’s an idiot who will see the demise of England to Sharia.

WOW, indeed!

Despite apparent political antipathy between these two in the past, looks like they may be on the same page as to how to handle the U.N., and looks like Haley is gonna be a real hellcat!

The entire US political establishment is shocked and in awe of a non-politician President. When has this ever happened in our lifetime. NEVER! Ever hear that country song lyric “nobody wants to play rhythm behind Jesus...”. Well, when Trump’s administration is over (in 4-8 years), will we be forced back to politics as usual? I hope not! And who would that loser be?

Don’t shoot from the hip. Stop and think of the wording of what was said. NATO is okay, it’s just the players, scope, and member requirements that need to be reviewed.

Trump has exceeded ALL my hopes in the first week.

Amen, I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Yesterday, I was listening to SiruisXM Patriot Radio in my rental car and Levin was on. He was back to his usual drawn out whining about Trump, specifically the import tariffs, and then he gave him props for about a minute before getting right back to whining.

What the hell is wrong with that guy anymore? The way I see it we are winning beyond all expectations and Trump is making Reagan look like a piker.

She “strutted”? Mr. Steinbuch, thank you for confirming what a POS you really are. People with common sense who are on to your vicious ass stopped reading right at that word!

Totally impressive.

(Still, I wish she’d have been more supportive of her own state’s constituents regarding the Confederate Flag.)
