Germans tell Trumpy to shove 300 billion bill up his ass

Gee, why would Trumpy Putin want to break up the German-American relationship?

Donald Trump handed the German chancellor Angela Merkel a bill — thought to be for more than £300bn — for money her country “owed” Nato for defending it when they met last weekend, German government sources have revealed.

The bill — handed over during private talks in Washington — was described as “outrageous” by one German minister.

“The concept behind putting out such demands is to intimidate the other side, but the chancellor took it calmly and will not respond to such provocations,” the minister said.

Yes.

Putin is directing Trump to weaken NATO to assist Russian expansion. 

 

 

 

The only reason they aren't speaking Russian in Germany today is American money and power.

And the only reason Europe can afford its well fare state is the same reason.

"Germany, like the majority of the 28 members of the alliance, has yet to meet a NATO-agreed commitment to devote two percent of GDP to defense spending."

So once again we meet our commitments and others don't meet theirs.

Just sayin'.

That's so nice of you to come out and show us all how pro-Putin you are, Thom. I had thought you might be a bit more guarded about it, but kudos to you for being unafraid to show us so blatantly.

It doesn't work that way.  NATO members have a GOAL of contributing 2% of their national budget to NATO. The NATO budget is written around actual numbers of contributions, not goals, so the budget has never been short.   Members also contribute peacekeepers - which are not reflected in the budget

This is a philosophical argument, not a financial one....

Just sayin' ?   Just sayin' what?  We should have stayed out of Germany?   Brilliant
