Germany's under funding of its military is no laughing matter, as of today it is reported all of its submarines are out of service. The President is correct, Germany is too reliant on Soviet natural gas and it is neglecting its defense duties, as Germany relies on the U.S. for its protection.
Anyone who believes NATO, without U.S. participation, is a formidable opponent to Russia really needs to re-think their position.

Also, if anybody has been paying attention, Russia has been sending its ships to the English channel. Once again it is due to Britain's under-funding of its military. Putin has been chiding Britain, known for its navy, for having its fleet in total disrepair, with the vast majority of its navy vessels rendered inoperative.
Our so called allies have turned themselves into our dependents and they need a wake-up call and to raise their defense military spending to appropriate levels to repair, modernize, and equip their troops with actual weapons/working weapons. |
Excellent post! The socialists over in that cesspool, that we call Europe, are pouring so much money into their counties' social programs they cannot afford to pull their own weight militarily. In shirking that responsibility, they expect the U.S. to pick up their slack. But why should we? Let those countries over there, hit the "redo" button to adjust their priorities and budgets accordingly. Why should the U.S. enable their socialism?
Of course, the Cornell Wests of this world would be very quick to blame the U.S. for undermining all "democratic socialists" countries (with such tactics as these) wherein socialism has failed miserably.
What Trump should do is put NATO on firm notice: If you don't pay your way, the U.S. will no longer pick up your slack. The U.S. doesn't need a bunch of European welfare bunnies to drag us down into their cesspool.
