Yes it can!

We need to pull our 50,000 troops out of Germany.

And 15,000 in Italy

And 12,000 in England

Put them all at the Mexican border.

I'd call that a wall.

Yes let them foot their own bill for defense.

Let’s put our troops where they’re actually needed.

They don’t appreciate shite.

Put them in eastern Europe, they will fight and at least fight freedom, I still have hope for the brits but the rest are a lost cause, IMO.. Maybe Italy will come around..

Also, there are about 30 countries in NATO and we pay 70% of the money to run the organization.

That's total BS

Sadly, some cannot be pulled out.

Exactly what I was thinking - help those who deserve and appreciate the help.

It's like we continue give an elaborate allowance to a 26 yr old son who won't move out of the house or get a job, but invites all his worthless dope-head friends for dinner every night while he spends his time playing video games and watching porn.

Lets hope it does.

Outside of Italy, Iceland & Canada (based on geographical proximity), and the Baltic/Eastern European members I wouldn't use our military assets to defend any of those places.

We had best do something with them before the next generation of Islamist leaders in Germany and France start desecrating those cemeteries.

Don't know and don't care because there is an exactly 0% that it's enough to make it worth our while. And FYI I've been arguing this point on NATO since before Trump was even a nominee for the Republican party. You can dig through my post history if you like. The Europeans do not deserve our protection. You know what Europe's lauded social welfare and entitlement programs would like if the USA hadn't subsidized and guaranteed their defense for the past 3 generations? It wouldn't fricking exist.

While the US has been guaranteeing the freedom and security of the entire Western world since WWII AND footing the bill for nearly every technological and medical advancement the Europeans have been using their money to create socialist "utopias" that simply wouldn't exist without our generosity. And then they have the nerve to comment on our political system and our politicians.


How about you go frick yourself Europe. You don't get a voice because you're an irrelevant continent that doesn't contribute anything to the world and wouldn't exist without the United States here to make sure big evil mean Russia didn't steamroll you anytime they felt like it.

We have allowed this situation to exist for too long. Until Europe could rebuild after WWII, they needed our help, and we needed their markets. But, like raising kids, we spoiled them and became enablers of their spoiled attitudes.

Our leaders have tried making changes by calling attention to the disparities. But like spoiled children, they held their breath, and stomped their feet, and did nothing.

Tough Love just arrived. I can’t wait to see Merkel turn blue from holding her breath.

Germany expects our defense from Russia, but buys natural gas from the threat. Does not compute.

Exactly! I'd rather have a Wall to protect our own country than keep letting NATO mooch off of us.

So once the reckless republicans destroy the NATO alliance and cozy up to Russia, what will we be left with?

Farking idiots.
