Trump understands:
Observations and Predictions:
If Europe wants to reside under the protection we provide, yet criticize every foreign policy decision we make, let them pay to garrison their own defense.
Europe has allowed the Moors to overrun their continent, and will cry for our help 15 years from now. Then, they will complain about how we help and demand our soldiers be tried for war crimes. Why bother?
Furthermore, we don't need protection against the Russians. We are the only army that coud engage them successfully in battle. We can form our own peace with Russia, because we are strong. We do not need NATO to do this.
Fuck NATO.

The United States could fucking occupy the EU easily, and those loser cucks won't put up a fight.

I dunno, they'd probably break a few lump-wristed numale arms at you and wave angry rainbow signs but ultimately they'd be cucked like bitches.

If NATO wants to stay relevant it needs to fulfill its original purpose, and that's defense.
So instead of piling up with Russia's border NATO troops should be killing and deporting the Muslim invaders from Europe.

I'm glad I am not the only one to figure this out!

Realize that statement means: "I want NATO occupying my city." :|

If NATO remains obsessed after the Cold War with
"Soviet"Russian imperial ambitions then, yes, it is obsolete. If it turns its attention to defending the Free World from Islam and secondarily, Chinese aggression, then it will find a legitimate reason to exist.I am not saying that NATO should not have a ready defense against a Russian aggression. But NATO has a more pressing concern with a 3million strong Islamic invasion force occupying Europe under its very nose.

NATO hasn't done fuck with China who is aggressively expanding its territorial claims.

This is an over simplistic understanding of foreign relations.
The United States of America has the strongest armed forces that have ever existed--that is for a reason.
That reason is not because we have more enemies than any country that has ever been, but because the US treats its armed forces like an export; something that can be leveraged in negotiations.
By threatening to withdraw support, President Trump gives the other nations incentive to build up their armed forces and reduce their long-term dependence on the US for military aid.
In the short term, America will save a few dollars. In the long term, America will lose its leverage.

So you are arguing for an increased military industrial complex, all around the world?

Who the fuck cares about Europe, we have Russia on our side.
At the end of the day, Europeans will be our little bitch.

there might be something to the notion that we have more enemies than anyone else

So it seems everyone here considers NATO outdated as well, my reserve is that General Mattis stated
I'm inclined to believe Mattis is more aware of geopolitics and more knowledgeable on military capabilities as well.

That doesn't mean it's current state isn't obsolete.

fyi that img pop down thingy is cool, but for whatever reason in dark mode, that text is unreadable.

It's because some sites rely on your browser to fill in the background color instead of setting one themselves.
Prolly just switch over to jpg since there's no transparency there.
