Has Merkel checked the scoreboard?

It’s USA 2 - Germany 0

War is in Germnany's DNA, this is how it warms up, would be cool if the President brought all the troops home and put them on the Southern Border till the Wall is complete

Outstanding... pull the troops and either send them somewhere else in Europe OR better yet, bring their asses home...

It won't be the first or second time we had to cross the Atlantic to clean Europe up...

US House votes overwhelmingly to bar US exit from NATO

WASHINGTON — The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Tuesday evening that seeks to bar President Donald Trump from withdrawing from NATO amid renewed concerns over his commitment to the 29-nation military pact.

In a bipartisan 357-22 vote, the Democrat-led lower chamber sent the Senate the NATO Support Act, which would prohibit the use of federal funds to withdraw from the 70-year-old alliance. Twenty-two Republicans voted no, while 28 Republicans and 26 Democrats did not vote.

Beyond asserting Congress’ power of the purse, the bill affirms support for NATO and its mutual defense clause, for Montenegro’s accession, for “robust” U.S. funding for the European Deterrence Initiative and for the goal that each member nation spend at least 2 percent of its gross domestic product on defense by 2024.

The action comes as trans-Atlantic ties have been frayed by disputes over defense spending, trade and America’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. After reports Trump floated the idea of a withdrawal last summer, Trump said last week, "We will be with NATO 100 percent, but as I told the countries, you have to step up,” defense spending.

Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., sponsored the bill with backing from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y. At a press conference Tuesday, the lawmakers praised the alliance for its role in ending the Cold War and in supporting U.S.-led operations in Iraq and Afghanistan today.

“What we have to realize is that NATO is not just a transactional relationship.” Panetta said. “Our sole focus can’t just be on who pays what and who gets what. Being a member of NATO is not like being a member of a country club.”

Europe is like the Roman Empire when it was falling apart.

So they want to curb our dominance while we continue to spend and spend to provide protection for them in NATO. If they do come together and outwardly move with plans to hurt the economy of the US, we should be out of NATO that day. Any Congressperson who votes against it should be hauled out as a traitor to the USA.

Ike's Warning Of Military Expansion, 50 Years Later

On Jan. 17, 1961, President Dwight Eisenhower gave the nation a dire warning about what he described as a threat to democratic government. He called it the military-industrial complex, a formidable union of defense contractors and the armed forces.

Eisenhower, a retired five-star Army general, the man who led the allies on D-Day, made the remarks in his farewell speech from the White House.

As NPR's Tom Bowman tells Morning Edition co-host Renee Montagne, Eisenhower used the speech to warn about "the immense military establishment" that had joined with "a large arms industry."

Here's an excerpt:

quote:

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist."

Sounds like she's getting desperate to keep the German dominated EU from falling apart. Pretty soon if she wants to continue running Europe, she's going to have to do it the old school German way...but that didn't work out too well the last 2 times.

I reckon we'll have to team up with Vlad one more time to finally end the German dream of ruling Europe.
