This has been going on long before Trump even thought about going into politics.
There is a reason the US does not recognize the ICC.
And we also know they have the plans ready to free any soldier from the Netherlands _if_ we were to arrest a American soldier.
And the US _will_ execute that plan. And the Netherlands _will_ sit back and let it happen.
See, the world is a big schoolyard, and America is tired of shaking people down for protection money and threatens us "to start protecting ourselves".
I don't like Trump, but I can't deny he accelerates events that should have started a while back. Very good for our future, not so much for the US. But that's what they voted for.
- cscurmudgeon 2y ago> shaking people down for protection money This is false though. No one pays US money for defense. The 2% spending is on their own industry. The analogy breaks down. If anything, the US pays to support other countries/allies.
- bravo33 2y agothey kind of do though since that money goes into the NATO money pool and purchases weapons with US of A specifications .... ahem I meant NATO Specifications.
