In new comments, President Trump is claiming NATO “was essentially going out of business” before he came along, and now will be “strong ago.” He added that this is all because of him and his “strong tone” at the recent summit.
Trump was declaring victory over the summit earlier this month, with claims that the nations had committed to spending another $33 billion on militaries after the meeting. This new comment had Trump claiming “they are paying hundreds of billions of dollars more.”
Trump claimed that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is now “the biggest fan of Trump,” because he came along and forced NATO to pay. The summit earlier this month was followed by a lot of conflicting reports, including the possibility that Trump threatened to withdraw the US from NATO.
Trump has been pushing heavily for all NATO members that have committed to increasing military spending to ensure that much of that money goes toward buying US-made weapons. Several nations have denied plans to increase military spending, particularly to the levels Trump has demanded.
Shame on Trump for making NATO stronger. The world needs NATO abolished, not strengthened!
I wholeheartedly agree with you, Warren, Trump must be ashamed for making such an anachronism stronger, instead of dumping it. You’re absolutely right, the world needs NATO abolished as the Warsaw Pact was decades ago, not strengthened; now, it;s no longer the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, it’s the North Atlantic Terrorist Organization. All you need do is see what this terrorist organization had done to the Balkans and Iraq, and more recently, Libya.
It is weird when the strength of NATO is measured by the size of the defense budgets of the NATO countries. No external state has attempted to attack a NATO state after Argentina attacked the UK. The Russian annexation of the Crimea was not an attack on a NATO state.
But, Justin told us Trump was going to peace-monger us out of this stale cold war institution!
This won’t even get a mention. It’s just your TDS that is causing you to judge the moron by the words that come out of his mouth.
NATO is here to stay and growing in size aswell as militarily. F-35’s are being bought up at rates never seen before by member countries excluding Turkey. In time Russia will understand it’s activities and bluster only help NATO and other nations that oppose its interference in its quest to contain and now destroy Russia. People want America and the world to believe Russia is a more lethal nuclear threat to the world because Putin claims they have underwater nuclear subs and a hypersonic missile. Russia has always claimed to be technically more advanced than America but, can’t seem to be a real democracy, lead a nation of allies, or have its ruble close to the value of the dollar.It’s government is so paranoid over 2 million of it’s citizens are on a travel ban list because they work for the government and it’s military Russia’s afraid they’ll switch sides. Putin better get what he can now from Trump before November midterms because, if Democrats win the house or senate he’s toast.
You need to get over this worshipping of Democracy. The founding fathers created a Republic not a pure Democracy for America. They rightly knew that a pure Democracy can morph into a tyranny of the majority over the minority which is the point where we are at now. Pushing other nations into democracy is not the real goal of the Deep State. It is pushing nations into accepting our hand picked puppet leaders. The Deep State only likes Democracy when it can control it.
Yes, let me get over this whole democracy experiment America’s forefathers led a rebellion against a monarchy for and ,ended up the most powerful nation on earth over.I’d must be more happy being Russia with a leader that never leaves power,a currency that’s virtually worthless, the most powerful nation and it’s allies surrounding my country, and the only thing of value I have to offer is my weapons and energy I have to sell to my enemies for currency to stay afloat. Yes,why would I want to be a country like America when I could be Russia? That was to funny .
I’d rather live under an authoritarian like Putin than under the rule of a majority of people who think like you do. The Founding Fathers feared people who think like you do.
Yes, the founding fathers would be so proud of someone like you that ,embraces a foreign adversary nation’s leader and ,sympathizes with him rather than the people he’s supposed to serve and, the country where people serve to defend your right to express your treasonous nonsense. Please go to Russia and realize what Snowden did when he got there.Hahaha. …
The people of Russia overwhelmingly re-elected Putin this past March. Life under Putin is infinitely better for them than it was under the Soviets and Boris Yeltsin. Putin is an excellent leader for Russia. Of course he has his detractors just as every American president has his detractors. There are still Communists in Russia wanting to take that route again. Putin stands in their way as he stands in the Globalists’ way of world domination. So if you want to listen to all the Putin haters go ahead. No skin off of my nose. I could not care less about what you think, because from your posts I have a pretty good idea of what you are.
I’am 1 of Trumps base He wants to make NATO stronger I want to make NATO weaker . I would gladly forget Trump If you democrats would show me a old fashion old style non establishment democrat . But I have to work with what a have
What democrats?
NATO should be shut down completely. It is the military arm of the Globalists and the New World Order.
He is also pushing unnecessary pipelines and LNG ports across the EU, all to isolate Russia. Trump is a zionist neocon deceiver, make no mistake. It is scary how easily people are duped by him. He has an arcane ability to charm so many into a restful state of compliance with his regime.
I don’t think We should worry so much by what Trump says but pay more attention to what he does and what results he gets Than Trump looks a lot better than we give him credit for ..Maybe it is just by accident . that is O.K. to
Results like these?
[NATO Is a Goldmine for US Weapons’ Industries]
No President after WWII has ever deceived and waged more wars than the 44th POTUS, Barack Obama, antarcticus; while his successor, Donald Trump has spoken of war-war-war and has made peace-peace-peace, but O’Bozo had spoken of peace-peace-peace and made war-war-war. Is O’Bozo your type of leader, dude? If so, you’re just as delusional as he is.
NATO has become a protection racket pushed on Europe by Uncle Sam who runs around with a can of gasoline in one hand and a match in the other trying to sell “fire insurance”. If the Germans, in particular, can’t see through this obvious scam and give the US troops there an eviction notice, they deserve to be a foreign-occupied country in perpetuity.
