Merkel is complaining about the country that kept the USSR at bay after WWII? About the country that has invested many billions of dollars in defense of Germany? The country that helped to rebuild them, and rebuild their economy? The country that to this day spends billions of dollars so that Germany doesn't have to foot a military strong enough to take care of their own needs?
Wow, Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. I wonder how many of those wonderful social programs that Germany enjoys that they would be able to afford if they had to actually pay their fare share.

The problem is she cannot be trusted to make logical decisions. She thinks like Clinton and Obama and there is little common sense with the three of them. You don't invite a rattle snake inside your home unless you want to die. I don't think she will be in power much longer.

What better time could there be to concentrate Europe’s minds on defense spending than with Putin looking west to Ukraine and beyond, installing intermediate-range missiles aimed at Europe inside Russia in violation of a treaty, and engaging in petty provocations against the U.S. to test Trump?

If you want to squeeze NATO members to pony up to pay as they agreed, choosing a moment to do so when they’re more worried about Russia than they’ve been in years seems opportune.

That makes sense .... didn't Clinton and BO think things are best accomplished by utilizing OPM?

Yeah, that's how I see it. I don't think this should even be considered controversial. This should be under the Europe or current events thread.

I'm very happy to have Europe off our dole.

All you ever do is applaud Trump, but he has not even hinted us cutting military spending. On the contrary, he is ramping it up.

Trump sure is. You claim you are not, but you say so only because you mistakenly thought Trump was cutting military, which he is not.

Does it make you sleep better at night knowing Obama (unconstitutionally) made a "deal" with Iran, an enemy of the U.S.?
