Look at that graph, that says it all. Kind of lopsided don't you think? And you are paying for it.

That means nothing.

Because you spend lots of money on defense doesn't mean you are spending it on NATO missions.

NATO allies are more unimpressed with Trump than ever.

‘Very stable’ Trump? European leaders beg to differ
The president’s wild shifts in tone left many NATO allies concluding no hidden strategy lies behind his unpredictability.

Just a family of successful, brutish grifters, always on the outside.

If telling the truth and wanting what is best for the American people not to be taken advantage is wrong, then what is right?

Try not insulting world leaders, for starters. Trump is the selected president and commander in chief of the United States of America, not King of the world. He will never be diplomatic, not in his DNA.

He thinks he can bully and call down everyone. Well, maybe those days are getting closer to ending.

Newsflash- no one agreed to anything much other than the existing ratified agreement of 2% by 2024.

So your ‘ball snatcher’ is nothing more than a loudmouth with nothing backing up his claims that ‘he’s sooooo tough’, lol. Sounds like the ‘North Korea Nothinburger Deal’ too.

Suckers.

Speaking of well, under garments, does Trump needs a different size? Maybe, that's why he is always so contrary and cranky (if only it were that simple.)....................just a thought. Looks like every step he takes, is an effort. Just saying................

So, just to be sure, Germany is getting a lot of "energy" from Russia...paying them billions of dollars yearly....and everyone is applauding this...


Again, why was NATO started?
