Trump certifies addition of Montenegro in NATO over Russian opposition
The Washington Time ^ | April 11, 2017 | Dave Boyer

...White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Mr. Tump looks forward to welcoming Montenegro formally into the alliance at a NATO leaders meeting in Brussels, Belgium, on May 25. He said the move is “signaling to other NATO aspirants that the door to membership in the Euro-Atlantic community of nations remains open and that countries in the western Balkans are free to choose their own future and select their own partners without outside interference or intimidation.”

Trump has some room for his own ideas, but the globalist NWO has certain non- negotiables

I’ve seen very little campaign Trump in the last 2 weeks. It’s starting to look like just another Presidency. Not a fan of the status quo but it looks like that may be the reality

Personally, I’d rather see a more reasoned plan of the US withdrawing from NATO. This country has no business supporting this mess so they (EU - Germany) can spend their economies on ruling all the other countries in Europe via blackmail fiat.

I’m ok with Montenegro. They are a republic, they are seriously implementing capitalism, and the capability and literacy of their people is worth supporting. And geopolitically they are strategically located.

Not with Montenegro’s one half of one percent of GNP defense budget he doesn’t.

Yea well, Trump said dthat NATO was outdated and unnecessary provocations weren’t what his administration would be about. He looks to be in full cave mode in terms of FP. His calculation may be give them FP in exchange for domestic wins. He’ll get neither in the end

Lame. Another one-way street addition to NATO, where we promise to protect them for absolutely nothing of value in return.

Can someone help me with a farmer’s explanation of why we need a country in Nato that has no way to defend themselves and that would be overrun in a hot flash anyway?

How will we bear yet MORE human failure to beat back the curse of The Fall? It gets a lot worse going forward, FYI.

Maybe not a farmer’s explanation, but a clear one nonetheless.

All one needs to know is:

John McCain is FOR it.

Rand Paul is AGAINST it.

Why did putin want them kept out? They have ports on the Adriatic and their membership lends solidarity to the Western world in putin’s attempts to undermine the West, NATO, the EU, and self government. Did you ever notice his biggest friends are Iran’s mad mullahs and assad?

If Trump were the Putin puppet the dems claim he is, he’d have to classify as the most noncompliant puppet in the history of puppets.

I’d swap them out for Belgium in a heartbeat. At least the Orthodox have a realistic view of islam.

He’s just another W Bush. All his vaunted personality is actually no match to the deep state.

He always has explained that he meant that each NATO country should pull its own weight and that NATO as a whole should update its mission. He hasn’t changed that in months.

Yes he did. He suggested that they are built to beat the USSR and they need to be updated and some countries may be needed and others not anymore.
