JDGRUEN Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 The headline of this article is "over the top" inaccurate. All it seems they did was to do what President Trump asked them to do. Headline writers trying to achieve what was not done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Trump keeps saying indicates that he doesn't have a clue about NATO funding nor does he understand the NATO Alliance or their charter. First as far as funding, the members only "pay" a small amount for the upkeep of the NATO headquarters and their permanent staff. The 2% GDP is not a payment, it is a commitment that the member country will commit 2% for there GDP to dedicated military in support of NATO. Granted the members committing 2% has increased from only 3 to 9 since the start of his rants. In addition he rants about the Kurds not fighting during WWII is an example of his complete lack of understanding as the Kurds do not have their own country, they were/are part of Turkey and Turkey was neutral during WWII. In addition he turned a simple news short conference after a meeting with one of the members into a 42 minute campaign rally. A rally for re-election in 2020 on foreign soil and then left in a huff when he was openly criticized by other world leaders.. He doesn't give a <self deleted> about NATO and could care less if they dissolved tomorrow. If that happened he would try to spin it into a positive for him with the help of his un-fake colleagues on FOX, not FOX News but FOX Trump Reality Sho; Pirro, Hannity, and all. All he cares about is Donald Trump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he cares about is Donald Trump! and that 2% bit, that is a agreed goal/objective to be reached within the year 2024 the latest having said that, Trump has hardly grabbed this 2% bit out of thin air, there must be a severe lack of knowledge about the outside world in the W House on P Ave and in the Senate and in Congress . . . .

Since all countries calculate differently, the 2% goal does not mean that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
