Once the Warsaw Pact threat ended, there should have been a simple script written to downsize NATO within fifteen years to just a yearly exercise, and no real US troops posted in Europe. No one could bring themselves to say that.

Trump is correct. I would move EUCOM HQ’s out of Germany, and into Poland. I would leave the Navy port in Italy, but remove everything else. I would move the Spangdahlem wing over to Poland, and then send most all US troops back to the US. There simply isn’t a value of maintaining the bases/troops there.

Trump probably won't destroy NATO, but he will surely revise it into something useful.

Just another great achievement by our most effective president ever.

As an aside, it seems that Turkey's membership in NATO serves primarily as a curtain/shield behind which Islam's encroachment into Europe can be hidden.

Europe can't defend itself against Islam with NATO as long as NATO is compromised by having the enemy in its military and privy to that which is learned by NATO's (and member states') intelligence operations.

Then all the more reason to get out now while the getting is good.

European refusal to take any significant steps to rein in radical orthodox Islamic forces in Europe or anywhere else, it is abundantly clear that NATO is not the proper vehicle for U.S.-led collective defense against Iran or other jihadist powers.

Fixed it.

If one is to understand a thing one must call it by its correct name.

Which is why Liberal constantly mutilate our language. By changing the meaning of words the common man becomes confused and begins to believe what the Liberal says and denies the truth.

Date Set for Trump's Military Parade: Here's What to Expect

IMHo, we need to shut down NATO and bring both our people and equipment home before the European SOBs are crying and begging us to save them from the armed Muzzies insurgents taking over their cities after they let millions of them in.

Saving their asses from themselves twice in the last century is enough, let them save themselves in the 21st century.

I would have NATO evolve into something that protects those European nations that want to protect themselves from the current mooselimb invasion, and let the others destroy themselves, since it sure looks like that’s what they want....

Wow—check out the comments under this article about Trump and NATO. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such uniform support for the president in response to a MSM article:

Why don’t WE give NATO the same importance that Europe shows it? After all Europe isn’t even willing to pay for it.

[slumber1]

NATO is the 21st century equivalent of the Maginot Line

[ncalburt]

Nato has evolved into a fancy overseas work program and propping up
local German economies scam .
Why the need for a pricey headquaters and endless bureaucratic jobs . Trump is questioning why we are footing the bill for it.

It’s a shame we don’t get more truth in articles like this one. She’s a great writer and well worth the time to read...
