First off this is just a poll and who knows how accurate it is? Clinton/Obongo made foreign policy based on polls. Our President does not.

The Newsweek/MSN article also has some blatant lies in it about the NATO meeting No, Trump did not say the Euros agreed to raise their defense spending from 2% to 4%. He was speculating it might happen and was quite clear about that.

This is just MSM attacking Trump and trying to make him look bad or ineffectual. We know better.

Translation:

Now that the United States is telling Europe to PAY THEIR DAMN SHARE they've decided to 'defend themselves on the cheap' assuming if they're attacked we'll come in and defend their deadbeat butts.

Make America Greater Again by redirecting the 700 billion NATO funding towards another project in America!

Works for me... Let the ingrates defend themselves. We should demand Germany pay back 'the World' for all the wars they've inflicted on the rest of us.

Ninety-two percent said they thought Trump’s motivation for the attack was most likely linked to his desire to sell more American natural gas to Europe

Well I would hope so!

Do the majority of German military strategists think so?

Here are the results of a search on German military readiness. (Pathetic.)

“The majority of Germans now believe Europe can defend itself without the help of the American military, a Forsa survey has found.”

Could? Yes. Will? Not so much.

Of course it’s much easier to say that now that there are other countries between them and Russia.

The Germans charge us for having troops there, the Poles said they’d host us for free.

Seems an easy decision, let’s tell the Germans “ Good luck, but bye”

Germans know Russia scare is a scaremongering tactic, NATO establishment’s excuse. They don’t want to pay their money for a lie.
