Trump casts doubt on willingness to defend Nato allies ‘if they don’t pay’

[AProudLefty]

US President Donald Trump has cast doubt on his willingness to defend Washington’s Nato allies, saying that he would not do so if they are not paying enough for their own defense.

“It’s common sense, right,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “If they don’t pay, I’m not going to defend them. No, I’m not going to defend them.”

They do not pay. What it is about is them committing a specific amount of GDP to the military. Trump never tells the truth,

Defend them from whom?

The claim that the Russians are coming for them, or want to, is a lie told by WarPigs.

Without NATO that is without America Europe blows apart, which most of the European elites know, and Trump knows that they know......that's what this is about.....forcing a better deal for America.

France is on a multi year mission to get to where they can deploy a division of 20,000.....and they are the best army in Europe.

Russia has almost 600,000 men on the line of contact.
