I’m fully on board with 47 scaling back and ultimately pulling out of NATO.
Europe has proven to be useless for us tactically and now they are simply another form of welfare and subsidization on the US.

With that said, I’m curious how Europe will respond if we actually go through with it.

Will they really invest in their militaries again and buildup? Or will they just hem and haw and be vulnerable for years to come?

I cannot see how Europe spends heavily on their military without their socialist utopian funding taking a major hit. Their social programs will likely be affected immediately.

Maybe they stop spending so much on migrants also as an unintended benefit.

They'll bitch and moan as if he hasn't warned them for 10 years.

It’ll be enjoined immediately by the federal courts.

They may have to wait it out for a couple of years. Eventually a globalist will be back in the White House and they will rejoin NATO. Probably give additional money as back pay as well.

The strange thing is that the last 70 years have probably been the quietest for European wars. They have received so much from us that they actually got along for once.

Of course we had to pay for it all, frick them.

Trump has 5 kids that we know about. He’s never pulled out of anything.

Sadly, there will be a "lead time" for this to happen and then by that time a new administration will be in place and they will reverse course and everything will continue as is.

By quickly admitting that there's a reason they have free Healthcare and it's the same reason that the US doesn't have free Healthcare.

It's beyond time to stop "protecting" our "great allies" from The Bear, when they themselves pose a greater threat to their traditional way of life than Russia has in 40 years.

I’m happy President Trump is putting America first,but if he pulls out of Europe and NATO eventually will lead to war for the region.The only reason there has been no war in Europe is the USAs presence in the the area.Russia and China both fear the USAs military might which keeps them at bay,pull out they will be embolded to act like communist states do.History dictates they will try to take what isn’t theirs.

If most Americans understood just how much of Europe's "civilization & refinement" is subsidized by our tax dollars, they'd change their regard for those cheese-eating surrender monkeys with a quickness.

With most of their military might gone, and economic power long gone, they’ll use the propaganda media to bash the US.

Then the US has maintained an artificial status quo for 70 years.

Eventually the big guy between you and the bully is going to step out of the way.
