We pay for Europe’s defense while they put invading Muslims on welfare.

Worse than that - we are paying to defend them on the east, and they are willingly letting themselves be invaded on their southern borders

Bring the troops home - all of them - let them pay for themselves.

As we all know, since the end of WW2 and the rise of the USSR, Europe depended on the US military for it’s defense. The US bore the costs taking on the Soviets. Bases all over the place. American’s loved those overseas postings. The locals were 50/50 because the got those American dollars, but also had to deal with a bunch of crazy American’s. The governments were ok with it because they could funnel all their money to social spending because they didn’t have to pay for beans, bullets or boots. Thus creating the cradle to grave welfare state all over Europe. Well.....

Now they want to allow the tsunami of muslims and african’s that can’t rub two sticks together and cause nothing but chaos, violence and despair everywhere they go. And, that’s just the ones that aren’t jihadi’s. Toss them in there and the Europeans have created a deep and cavernous hole that they have to dig themselves out of. And with current leadership in most of the countries, it ain’t gonna happen.

The continent needs to look at Hungary, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Macedonia and now Italy, to see what needs to be done. You can’t include the UK, IMHO, because I think that place is lost. London may as well be another middle eastern city. You have cops covering up mass rapes and grooming gangs. They put Robinson in jail for stating his opinion. I think she’s lost and Churchill and Thatcher are rolling over in their graves.

“Europe has grown stupid and lazy. Let them defend themselves.”

Europe isn’t stupid or lazy! They have managed to build their socialist countries on the American dime! By our willingness to defend them with our military at largely our expense, they have been able to fund socialism with the money that rightly should have been spent assisting with the protection we have given them. Now I suppose in the past, our government has felt that by protecting them, we were,in some measure, protecting ourselves from having to fight another world war for them, and having the ability to place offensive weapons closer to the Soviet Union was also considered a benefit to us. But now it all doesn’t make as much sense, as these countries essentially $hit on us despite our largesse, so I think Trump is going to force them to change, or we will move our troops and equipment elsewhere. The only problem will be Russia, because any movement will likely be closer to their border.
The Europeans have always thought that they had us over a barrel, but they hadn’t met Donald J. Trump!

Not Poland or eastern Europe. Move at least some of these troops to Poland.
Pull others back the to defend our own border from Mexicos American hating president.

Yup. It isn’t as much the physical troops as it is the NATO pledge to assist in a European war. Our willingness to defend them has allowed EU countries to redirect otherwise defense dollars toward social spending. So American taxpayers are footing the bill for lavish EU policies that make our crazy leftists leer in jealousy
