NATO = Not Accepting Their Obligations. A bunch of freeloading laggards.

Move out of the house? More like disabuse them of the notion that this is Upstairs Downstairs with Americans being downstairs.

Trump is following his initial instincts. He is making it clear that there is a marked diminution in America’s willingness to sacrifice American blood and treasure to defend Western Europe. If Europeans are indifferent to their own borders and care little about their own cultural heritage, why should Americans be involved in their insanity?

Or time for the U.S. to walk away and leave Europe to stew on their own.

The solution is for us to leave. The Euroweenies can take care of their own defense.

Germany and the other NATO countries expect the U.S. to continue funding the majority of NATO expenses and spending tens of billions of its dollars every year defending an increasingly hostile Europe from a Russian invasion, just as it has done for the past 73 years.

Seventy-three years...

My uncles stopped getting shot at by Germans in 1945 but subsidized the Germans - and the rest of Europe - until the day they died.

Hell of a way to be thanked.

Preserving NATO is just another sneaky way of drawing
the USA into the totalitarian EU and also financing
Europe's defense budget. All the while the USA gets
reamed on trade by them. It's time America stopped
being played for a sucker by them.

Americans are finally getting to see who the globalist
elites really are and what they stand for -- America
entwined in a EU bureaucracy and paying for it all.

President Trump has been slowly building up his “street creds” The key point being he does not bluff - he will negotiate but does not bluff.

His opening statement is so beyond what Europeans have been used to hearing it has to be a shock, but it is also something they already know. If President Trump says the US will pull out of NATO they know he will do it.

As the article mentioned, Russia is not the enemy they should be preparing to fight, it is Muslims. With Turkey in NATO that is not going to happen.

The United States would be better off without a commitment to defend Western Europe. I actually believe Europe would (in the end) be better off as well. As it is, they can be soft on dealing with the Muslim invaders believing the US will be there to save them if it becomes necessary. Without the US in NATO they will be forced to look at the threat realistically.

“Germany and much of the rest of Western Europe was in a shambles“

Germany is not a Western European country.

I’ve lived in four European countries. I’ve lived in Germany twice. I speak the language and much of my family is from there originally so I can tell y’all what will happen.

They’ll whinge and whine. They’ll call Trump nasty names. They’ll call Americans nasty names. They’ll huff and puff about making some kind of alliance instead with China or, yes, Russia! They will do ANYTHING OTHER THAN carry their own weight. They are too smug, arrogant and entitled to ever consider doing that.

It’s long past time America withdrew from NATO, brought the boys home and took the kid gloves off in dealing with Europe wrt to trade. The globalists will scream that this will mean we won’t be able to constantly meddle in other countries’ business. Good! We don’t need to. Our one big weakness was oil and gas and thanks to technological advances, that weakness gets smaller and smaller as our own production steadily rises.

It’s time for the Yurps to grow up or pay the price for their failure to do so.

I have never understood why they let Turkey join NATO in the first place. How did THAT happen?

Americans are sick of protecting deadbeat EU parasites... let them pay their fair share or we drop out of NATO.

We can protect ourselves... they can do the same.

Effing ingrates.

Great analogy, but I rather just kick them out than for them to pay up.
