Nice country you have there. Wouldn’t want to see anything happen to it.
He needs the money to give to Israel, but don’t you dare ask what for.
Check off another item on vlad’s wish list, the dismantling of western military alliances. Never thought I’d be a citizen of a russian vassal state.
Ah the good old transactional approach to military readiness. When we get booted out of country after country I guess we can start reducing the size and cost of the MIC.
Countries with Trump hotels will be excepted…
Wow - Trump wants to run a protection racket now.
Isolationism is the best policy. Just ask Trump; he is going alone and is able to recruit only the best people, ask Judge Ellis.
Pay me or I will unleash my goons.
Is everyone watching?
Of course. Because it’s not like it’s in our national interest to have troops in other countries to maintain peace, build relationships and have stable trading partners for our exports.
We’ve done the isolationist route. And many Americans paid the price for that in WWI and WWII.
Fuck. You.
A guest usually pays their way donald. It is called being polite… but why would a spoiled man/baby know that.
The “Yankee go home” act.
Isn’t this how a protection racket sorta works?
He also wanted Mexico to pay for his wall…
What could possibly go wrong with encouraging European nations and Japan to re-arm massively?
Where is he going to put all those troops when they come home?
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
I’m sure this will be very popular on Okinawa…
This is what people around the world call “the ugly American”. And it’s the root of why when we travel as tourists we get harassed and treated poorly.
The take home life lesson trump missed is: be polite to people and don’t act like they’re your servants.
Now you know Mattis explained this to him patiently in simple terms with illustrations every four days or so. We’re already at risk of Putin making a move on former Soviet states. This is another way to break up NATO. It’s a clear, obvious betrayal of this nation. It’s astonishing to me how rabid and fanatic the GOP is that it sees this and will not act.
Did Putin suggest this? This is just a way to have countries kick the US military out of their countries, thus weaken the US military reach.
In the lead-up to Iraq, despite their population being massively against the invasion, the German government not only did not block us from using our massive airport, Ramstein, and their airspace for the war effort, but they also loaned thousands of German troops to guard facilities and provide other services in Germany, freeing up more American troops.
During the war, tens of thousands of ill and injured troops were flown out of Iraq to get treated and stabilized at Landstuhl in Germany, before being sent back to the U.S.
Literally thousands of Soldiers are walking and alive today because they received care at a base closer to the fighting.
When Trump threatens our allies that we’re just pulling out, he’s really threatening American Soldiers’ lives.
People need to hammer this point home. Fuck. Him.
