Then why is he telling the GOP to hold Ukraine aid now? Why is he telling the world that the US won't be a part of NATO under a second term? Why is he isgnalling that murdering Navalny is ok, just like murdering Khossghi was ok? |

Time to send in American soldiers! Let’s get major skin in the game. Send your son, he is going to fight for Ukraine, right? |
Nope https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/obama-nato-pay-fair-share-231405 |
NATO countries need to pay the minimum (2%) and stop dependence on US taxpayers. |
The whole point of sending aid is so the Ukrainians can fight their war and US military doesn't have to. |
And that message has been delievered consistently by US Presidents since 2010 and it does take time for countries to adjust their budgeting, which they did starting in 2017-2018 after years of Obama calling it out. Trump was right to continue Obama's policy. |
“President Barack Obama echoed President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, signaling to America’s NATO allies that if Greece can pay its fair share even during an economic crisis, so can the other members of the alliance.” Wow Obama was echoing Trump, what a strong leader. Trump made Obama look like crap and you think that’s a win? |

Obama had the strength of an overcooked spaghetti noodle. |
Did Obama echo Trump in 2014?

So Trump is pointing out an ongoing problem and democrats are calling him a “warmonger?” Do you think we should indefinitely carry Nato’s financial load? What do you think should be done to fix this situation? |
People are calling Trump an unAmerican warmonger because he invited Putin to invade whoever he wants. |
I guess now that you put it that way, sure, have Putin roll those tanks in and spill some blood to teach them a lesson. Who needs peace anyway? |
Oh please.
For years and years and years, Europeans never lived up to their end of the NATO bargain. Then they had the gall to S all over us for our healthcare,. education, etc. because they never had to spend pretty coin on their own defense while they were able to use trillions of our own tax payer dollars to protect themselves. Let's see how many free universities, free healthcare, and pension systems they have after they're forced to spend a trillion to build up their defense on their own. We have homeless people in the streets. Our universities are unaffordable. Our citizens die because of unaffordable healthcare and lack of access to things like insulin. Maybe it is time we stopped spending on Europe so much and spent on our own citizens and infrastructure. Besides, Asia is more important now anyway. |
Then maybe Europe should start spending money to defend themselves? Why is Ukraine going to collapse without US financial assistance and weapons? Why isn't Europe spending money to defend Europe? Sorry, Europeans don't get to trash us because of our healthcare and education, but then come crying like beggars once they need big brother to protect them sine they never want to spend money on their own military. |
Russians are rolling tanks currently. Russians are spilling blood currently. And NATO is underfunded because the NATO countries don’t care. But Trump is the bad guy for pointing it out. |
