Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!

(58,785 posts)emotionally incapable of giving up any of his favorite notions, even with the Joint Chiefs of Staff explaining something is 100% wrong. France is a LOSER! And no doubt Macron is also.
I'm with GemDigger.

(52,208 posts)this has been explained over and over again. the obligations of nato members is to pay a percentage of their own gdp to fund *their own* armies.
yet donnie *still* thinks there's some central nato fund that france to which france owes money, and he thinks he's beating up on a deadbeat customer to get them to pay a bill.
wrong. if nato members pay their "fair share", it's to fund their own armies.
he's contradicting himself in the same tweet.

(58,648 posts)One thing we must remember. Trump "won" on razor thin margins in three states that generally are not red strongholds, at least in the presidential. The primary reason he won those states is that too many Dems in those states stayed home. Lowest turnout in many cycles IIRC.

i think we routinely need 55% of the vote just to break even on their anti-democratic crap.
