Then increase your military budget, Sweetheart.

Who’s going to protect you Merkele, Russia? They would leave you in the frozen mud...again.

Yes, that’s what’s meant by America First. Maybe Germany should elect a leader who puts the needs of their people first, instead of using American protection to try out all these social experiments.

Angela Hitler wants a united Europe.

She’s going to make the case that ONLY GERMANY can protect you all.

This woman isn’t just a blithering idiot, she is a global destabilizer. She not only can’t manage her own nation, she isn’t satisfied with that, and wants to screw up the management of the free world as well.

Germans, for heaven’s sake, wake the hell up!

This is the appropriate opportunity now for Trump to agree with her and threaten to withdraw from NATO where we do all the heavy lifting if the EU does not raise defense spending to 2% of GDP. He might even consider threatening withdrawal of the nuclear umbrella from Western Europe (not Eastern Europe) unless the EU agrees to pay 3% annually of their GDP to the US to recompense us for extending it to them and partially pay the R and D costs we have shouldered to develop it. No more free rides.

By all means, see how that works out for you Merkel. We’d be happy to not have to figure propping up the security of Europe into our budget every year.

Hey Angela, are you aware that Iran is close to having a missile that will reach your nation?

And you’re upset Trump wants to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons?

Where is your head at you moron?

We guard the front door while they keep the back door wide open—are we stupid or what?

But, but but, ... whatever happened to the end of history and a united Europe as a post-historical progressive state ?

Welfare for defence ended for these parasites when Trump was elected.

The euros will end up being slaves to either Putin or the moslems - maybe both !

And it couldn’t happen to more self-congratulating bunch !

Yes, yes, for heaven’s sake, yes! Our protecting Europe has turned them into pitiable dhimmis. It’s long past time for them to man-up. Maybe then, they won’t continue to elect worthless creatures like Merkel as their leaders.

Well, about friggin’ time! Why should American taxpayers protect people who hate us and look down on us? On a trip to London a couple of years ago I ran into blatant anti-Americanism. I vowed never to spend another penny there. I had much the same treatment in oil-rich socialist Norway.

We never should have protected them in the first place. All it did was make them ungrateful and Socialist.

You’re looking at why that’s a bad idea.

People this stupid shouldn’t be encouraged to develop their own top rank military. That military, run by idiots like this will suck us into another global conflict.

We’re busy now trying to prevent it, and they can’t grasp that.

I don’t want fools like this to have a top rank military at their disposal.
