Trump says he's considering pulling U.S. out of 'paper tiger' NATO

Idiotic

Europe should negotiate a peace deal with Iran so their ships can go through if they pay in yuan

NATO’s been called a paper tiger for decades but ripping it up mid‑game feels more like burning the rulebook than fixing it.

He is ignorant and short sighted. The only time in history that NATO's Article 5 has been invoked was by the US immediately after 9/11; all our NATO allies faithfully responded to the call and helped to win the war in Afghanistan, sacrificing blood and treasure. Then, in his first term Trump gratuitously and unilaterally surrendered Afghanistan back to the Taliban by signing the Doha Agreement of February 2020, committing the US to a total withdrawal of all allied troops by May of 2021. This was *after the allies had won the war and a democratically elected government was in place*. He betrayed both the democratically elected government there, the Afghan people, and our NATO allies who were still on the ground there and not consulted at all. Not to mention all the troops who gave their lives in the war. It was the biggest geopolitical blunder of his first term. The current war is the biggest geopolitical blunder of his second term. So far.

He says a lot of shit.

It's only a paper tiger if the United States has no intentions of honouring its treaty obligations. So calling it that basically tells us that Trump never had any plans to respond in an Article 5 situation.

So he is calling NATO a paper tiger while also complaining they won't help fight a nuclear powered Iran… why kind of logic is that?? If they are that useless, why is he so mad they aren't helping?

Do it! They don't need you shoving your way to the front of the summit like a bridesmaid trying to catch the bouquet at a wedding.

He has advancing dementia. Everyone knows it, no one will admit it.

A successful paper tiger, no NATO country has ever been invaded, which is basically it's purpose

The real paper tiger seems to be the US. Hundreds of billions in military spend per year, can't win a war against a regional regime.

If only his father had pulled out...

Posting the hell out of this shit ay media. We f****** know Putin controls dumpf

Sounds like Putin’s wet dream

Complete moron. He’s always been out to destroy Americas standing in the world.

Just as Russia would want!

Typical Republican technique, create a crisis out of thin air and then blame everyone for not responding to fix the crisis. Anyway, this was Putin’s plan all along.

Just what his puppet master Putin wanted all along.

He's learned a new phrase. Good for him. Of course now my MAGA acquaintances will be using 'paper tiger' every chance they get

The lack of children members must really bother him

Most effective Russian saboteur ever. 

ok so you’re going to remove all the bases? what a moron

Putin is now controlling even what words trump must use, putin got really pissed after ukraine (with barely any help from any other country in the beginning) proved that russia is actually a paper tiger, now putin wants the world to believe that europe, that has 20x more military than russia, is the paper tiger

Say goodbye to the F-35 program. 25% of the parts are made in Europe… plus the program becomes financially untenable without Europe purchasing planes.

Dumb f*** doesn’t even know what a paper tiger is. Someone must have said it in passing and he latched on to it.

On behalf of the sane NATO countries, please f*** off already.

China and Russia must be Trump’s biggest fans

Europe doesn't really need NATO. People will freak out if Trump pulls out but Europe can easily pivot to China who's waiting with open arms. There's no existential threat to Europe aside from Russia and they don't even look the part of credible imperialists.
