Trump says he wouldn't defend NATO allies from Russia if they're 'delinquent'

Forgive me for tagging onto your comment. Inasmuch as @PO1 William "Chip Nagel fears my participation on his discussion threads, I can't respond directly to him. Of course, he and his compatriots jump to conclusions vilifying anyone who disagree with them. However, there is a much more rational interpretation that can be gleaned from President Trump's "threat." Let's say the PO were to sign a contract to purchase a new car, then enjoyed all the benefits of ownership without making any payments as he agreed to in the contract. Would anyone be surprised when the car was repossessed? Of course not. Well, members of NATO signed a contract for which they agreed to pay for the protection afforded by their membership in an alliance. Few have ever paid the installments for that protection. While President, Trump was able to enforce that agreement and many began making payments. I suspect he will do so again if reelected. Indeed, it's a promise that I expect him to keep or I will be sorely disappointed.

CPT Jack Durish Me too, lol

SFC John D. - It worked the last time. No workee no eatee.

When you sign a contract you deliver what you are contractually bound to make that delivery!

There you go again! This is one of the greatest examples of a non sequitur that I've ever seen. Your fear and hatred know no bounds. You have my pity

???? Not sure what your point is. Whether you agree or disagree with Chip or not your comment doesn't reflect anything about NATO countries not paying their treaty required agreed upon amount. I don't see what school children going without has to do with this Post. Can you tie the two together?

LTC Joe Anderson - But you can tell from the likes he received just how many Trump-Haters reside on RP
