How unreasonable that Trump, as president of the US, wants to put our interests first... (/sarc)
I hope they clutch their pearls so tightly that they crumble into dust.
They didn’t like it when Reagan called the USSR the evil empire either.
“speech alarms U.S. allies”
Perhaps because a little less free money might be coming their way.
As Foreign Minister from a country with Frau Merkel as its Chancellor, I hardly think Herr Steinmeier is qualified to comment on reality or any subject relating to national or international policy.
Ah too bad so sad
The Germans have surrendered more than once
“Putting America Last” hasn’t really worked out all that well.
NO, 8 years of Obamas lead from behind has failed... 50 years of other nations living under the protection of the US military is over. There are now only 2 standing armies in Europe that are remotely worth a damn, because Nato has made it such that those nations get protected by US.
So what have those nations done? Cut defense spending and created social welfare states with the money... well Time to step up.. the free ride is over.
Good. US Allies: shape up or ship out.
Look for a whole series of these types of articles and comments coming from Western Europeans and their commentators. They do not like being threatened with being removed from the gravy train and having to pull their own weight. You know a candidate is doing something right when Western Europe is squawking about him.

A socialist Kraut who know that the American “Money TIt” is going to be shutting down next year. Basically, America, with our “foreigh aid,” has allowed this cadre of POS European members of NATO to finance their welfare states through the use of American money. By not having to pay their fair share for their own defense, they’ve been able to divert their own tax revenues to their gibbsmedats!
Allies first and America second all is normal.
America first, and allies second everyone freaking out.
Does that about summarize it?
Prior to Obama, America first was the rule.(not done well, but the rule nevertheless)
No, what bothers them is that under Trump they will have to pay a share if they expect to get American help.
More politicians who are afraid the gravy train is about to quit making stops at their locations.
Of course, they are “alarmed”. That always happens when you take away freebies from those who have been eating at the free trough.
