how much taxes did u pay on your dirty mafia money dicknose? this of course is if i believe you ever had anything to do with the mafia .. bahhaaaThat's irrelevant and that was almost 4 decades ago.
as u should know u non-mafia idiot .. there's a concept called a shell company. all the crime families had fronts in which to "look" legit u dummy. i mean .. do u think Dion O"Banion had a flower shop because he liked orchids? bahaha Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid
You are missing the point- let's assume they are free riders- because the former ambassador admits that some of them are not honoring the pledge- the MISTAKE Trump made is that those countries or the other NATO countries directly owe the United States when it's not drawn out that way- each country is suppose (sic) to spend 5% (you mean 2%, dipshit) of the GDP on military- TRump's tweet was as if each of the nATO countries owes the U.S a check- and he was dead wrong.Oh my! You "served in the military... with NATO allies"! That explains a lot! So you were responsible for enforcing the "2% of GDP" commitment? No wonder none of those 22 shirking member-states took the pledge seriously!
I have served in the military and done operations with NATO allies- Trump was wrong... Originally Posted by Luke_Wyatt

Or are you making mine? If you think we spend too much on defense, then you should welcome Trump's campaign to force the rest of NATO to pay more, so we can pay less.
Care to explain why Drumpf only singled Germany out, but failed to raise a fuck when Justin Trudeau paid homage to him in the WH? Originally Posted by andymarksmanThat's easy. Germany has the second largest GDP among NATO countries - more than twice the size of Canada's economy. So its defense spending shortfall (in dollars or euros) is a lot larger, too. Do the math. Germany's GDP is close to $3.5 trillion. To meet the 2% pledge, Germany needs to spend an extra $280 billion a year on defense. Trump singled out Germany because that's where the big bucks are.
