What good is NATO if Germany is paying Russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? Why are there only 5 out of 29 countries that have met their commitment? The U.S. is paying for Europe’s protection, then loses billions on Trade. Must pay 2% of GDP IMMEDIATELY, not by 2025.

Presidents have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get Germany and other rich NATO Nations to pay more toward their protection from Russia. They pay only a fraction of their cost. The U.S. pays tens of Billions of Dollars too much to subsidize Europe, and loses Big on Trade!

….On top of it all, Germany just started paying Russia, the country they want protection from, Billions of Dollars for their Energy needs coming out of a new pipeline from Russia. Not acceptable! All NATO Nations must meet their 2% commitment, and that must ultimately go to 4%!

So I was thinking about this whole thing where Trump said Germany is beholden to Russia because of this pipeline.
It makes sense to me now. He is saying that it is insane for Germany to be demanding free money for protection from Russia while paying money to Russia.
Maybe the pipeline is the thing Putin can give up in the negotiations.
We have to isolate Germany.
RT:
Germany is not a captive of anyone, neither Russia nor the US, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in response to US President Donald Trump’s description of his country as a ‘captive’ of Russia.
“We are not prisoners, neither of Russia nor of the United States,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels. “We are one of the guarantors of the free world and that will stay that way.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel made a similarly dismissive response to Trump’s statement, saying that her country “can make our independent policies and make independent decisions.” She added that as a person born in East Germany, which was subordinate to Moscow in major decisions, the current situation is much better.
Trump, who is also in Brussels for the two-day NATO summit, suggested that Germany should stop buying Russian natural gas, claiming that the trade amounts to Russia controlling Germany.
“Germany is captive of Russia because it is getting so much of its energy from Russia. They pay billions of dollars to Russia and we have to defend them against Russia,” the US president said at a breakfast with NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg.
So, if Putin cancels this pipeline in exchange for US recognizing Crimea, Syria, etc., then we can isolate Germany. And collapse NATO in on itself.
Everyone wins.
This has to be about punishing Germany.
And Theresa May.
lol speaking of.
Theresa May has asked Donald Trump to raise the issue of Russian aggression against the west, including the Salisbury nerve agent attack, when he meets Vladimir Putin for high-stakes talks next week.
The prime minister told Nato leaders, including the US president, that it was time for them to call out Russia’s “malign behaviour”, which was undermining democracies and damaging their interests around the world.
Downing Street made clear that she expected Trump to bring up the novichok attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, which claimed the life of British woman Dawn Sturgess this week, at his summit with Putin in Helsinki on Monday.
Ministers are concerned that the bilateral talks, straight after the US president’s first official visit to Britain, could result in a deal that could harm Nato or heighten tensions on Europe’s eastern borders.
He absolutely should bring it up and say “what the fuck is wrong with this nutty bitch, hoaxing chemical attacks in order to thwart our relationship?”
And discuss ways to punish Britain.
