You wingers have got NATO and its support for many years. What is often forgotten that NATO is not a basket case waiting for 24-hour salvation, NATO rather is part of our worldwide strategic defense.

NATO is in our own self-interest. And NATO is paying plenty when you figure we desperately NEED NATO to survive. At least our military does.

Gaffle von Bagglephaph is wrong one more time.

Gary J. Schmitt, a scholar at the conservative American Enterprise Institute,
said Mr. Trump was putting it in layman’s terms and “doesn’t care whether it’s
technically accurate.”

But Mr. Schmitt identified two problems: “One, because it’s not technically
correct, it is too easily dismissed by the very folks he wants to put pressure on. Two,
and more important, it tends to bury the point that we’re invested in European
security for our own strategic reasons.” NYT

... and further ...

Do NATO allies owe the United States money?

“Many of these nations owe massive amounts of money from past years and
not paying in those past years,” Mr. Trump said.

No. This is not a matter of members failing to pay dues. The allies arguably may
have less capable militaries than they should have, but none of them owe anyone
anything. “Europe may owe itself; it certainly owes nothing to the U.S.,” said Ivo
Daalder, a former ambassador to NATO under Mr. Obama.

... and finally ...

“This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States,” Mr. Trump
said.

Debatable. American experts have argued for years that Europeans can afford to
have broader social programs that produce comfortable lives for their citizens partly
because they spend so much less on militaries knowing they live under the security
blanket of the United States. Overall, American military spending is 72 percent of
the total spent by all 28 allies.

But the vast bulk of increased American military spending since the Sept. 11,
2001, attacks stemmed from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which were instigated
by the United States, not NATO.

There is little indication that the United States
would have spent less money in those wars if Belgium, Spain and Slovakia, for
example, had spent more on their militaries.

Moreover, Mr. Trump has not argued that he wants to reduce American military
spending. He has just proposed a 10 percent increase in the base defense budget.

It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media.

[GFB]

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media, and they don't mention names....

[GFB]

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

....it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. #FakeNews is the enemy!
