With Trump threating NATO with comments like "Germany is a captive of Russia," "It's very inappropriate." when Trump himself has shown unprecedented tolerance of Putin and meddling in American elections.

Politics throughout history have depended on alliances and agreements between nations that help ensure peace and stability. Trump is systematically trying to dismember and dissolve every ounce of glue that is holding the world together.

Of course they will complain when someone stands up to their UNFAIR trade practices, and lack of contribution to their own self defense. I'd be concerned Trump wasn't doing his job if they WEREN'T complaining. There is nothing wrong with holding allies, as well as enemies accountable, and engaging in open negotiations on behalf of your country's best interest.

Trump's primary job when hew was "elected" was to destroy the Western Alliance that is costing Putin business. He's going to Helsinki tomorrow to find out what His Owner wants from him next. The kompromat Vlad has in his desk drawer on Donnie must be staggering.

Lets see. The USA is spending over 4.2% of their GDP on defense. Most of the countries are not meeting their obligations towards NATO. Trump has warned them over and over again. Maybe he can have a red line like Obama that means nothing. So Trump is finally holding these countries accountable. I have ZERO problem with this!

The deadbeat countries need to pay up and all will be right with the world.

Amazing. All these fake conservatives cheering on the destruction of the NATO alliance and the West. Hey Trumplicans, your entire prosperity is based on the West and our alliances. Are you all really that stupid that you are willingly following a KGB compromised, small minded, scam artist, dictator loving, unhinged nut job off the cliff? Perhaps it is not about stupidity, but upon unreasonable fear. Fear of your own shadow.

Now you have found your cult leader who says he will lead you to the promised land. Love of a cult leader over your own self-interest, the interests of your children and the interests of the nation.

Trump has proven that we America are no different that any other nation. We can be taken in by charlatans as well.

One day you will wake up and realize you have all been made fools of.

Yep, they have been using us as a piggy bank for decades and now they are realizing they will lose the free piggy bank and have to contribute something and they are throwing a cry baby fit. We should be doing this. We should also be trying to develop a better relationship with Russia for the peace and stability of the US and the world at large.

Yes, the globalists that have abused American workers and business will no longer be allowed to do so....it's about time.

The fool is a country that is paying over and over again for these countries who are not meeting their obligations! In the meantime these countries are ignore what we do for them. What good is NATO when its countries wont do what they agreed to do?

Trumplicans, have you looked at the pictures of Pompeo and Kelly. They look disgusted to be sitting near Trump.

Winning is Putin! Putin loves watching his fool at work.
