Correct. The inmates have taken over the asylum.

You guys are quite silly indeed.

Now I have an old song stuck in my head...

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
Justify it in the end...

Sure, they are good customers for the defense industry, which is yet another reason why Trump is being stupid driving them away.

Oh look, there's a really rare mention of Hillary Clinton from a Trumpista apologist! Quelle surprise!

I am a big time Trump Supporter and you are a petty leftist that continues to deny the truth but will claim a moral victory when you are able to correct a misspelled word in a posting you don't agree with. Progressives would be AMUSING if they weren't such a danger to this country and the world.

Big time Trump supporters watch Trump go and make peace with Germany and NATO. He may do it quietly, but he will iniate recontact and recant. So all the arguments made by his supporters will be reduced to nothing. Trump's advisors will show him the reality, which is we need our NATO allies and that it's a bargain not a expense to support the alliance even if we spend more then they do. You'll see.

I'm seriously curious about all of you left-wing sabre-rattling warhawks: what the hell is your point? U.S. presidents complaining about European military spending has been a mainstay for over a decade, at least. There's probably only one thing that George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump all agree on, and that's that Europeans need to start contributing more to NATO. So what is your point in bending over backwards to try to prove that Europeans spend enough on NATO? You're so far afield from this nation's official policy that it's not even worth mentioning.
