Trump/Putin disaster summit. And also overseas visit w/ NATO & UK.

[Fight for Trump]

No points for guessing that his meeting with Putin will be more cordial than his meetings with NATO and the UK.

Trump is 100% right on the fact that all NATO countries must pay 2% of gdp on defense.

2% was a ten-year target agreed to in 2014.


Maybe NATO members should conspire with Russia against American interests? Then Trump would be all in favor of paying their defense costs.

It was a recommendation set in 2002, not 2014, in response to deep cuts in defense spending by European countries in the 90s after the Cold War. (not that some cutting wasn't justified, but the depth of the cuts led to legitimate concerns that NATO could not continue as a serious military alliance if some members basically abandoned their defense capabilities)

The recommendation may stem from 2002, but the 10-year pledge to work toward it was made at the NATO summit at Newport, Wales, in September 2014.

That only happened because European countries dragged their feet after the "recommendation" (let's be serious, a "recommendation" when it comes to defense is not really optional - you either have to do it or openly decline and face the consequences) and many countries actually lowered defense spending since 2002.

Any European Country who doesnt pay 2% of their GDP in defense then should not have the audacity to criticize US foreign policy then since it is the US who is spending their own money to defend them.

Don't be an idiot. If a friend gives you something, knowing that it antagonizes your beliefs or is something you generally hate, of course you have the right to criticize them for it. The only thing is that in addition to criticism, they should be prepared to develop capabilities that enable them to have a more independent foreign policy.

I just watched the press conference. That was the most beautiful and patriotic thing I have ever seen. I'm literally crying right now. God bless Russia!

I think anytime there’s a conservative who puts country before party you do your best to revile them.

Um... I hate the Republican Party.
