President-elect Trump calls NATO "obsolete". Freeloaders, time to pay up for US protection.
Finally a US president calling out NATO for what it is...a useless, military alliance that represents a relic of days gone by, where corrupt politicians scream about "Russian aggression", so as to line their pockets with huge sums of military industrial complex kickbacks.
Or as Donald Trump so aptly put it...NATO is "obsolete."
US President-elect Donald Trump gave a stunning interview to the UK based Sunday Times newspaper, blasting NATO for its lack of purpose and freeloader member state mentality...
Sputnik News notes that..."I said a long time ago that NATO had problems. Number one it was obsolete, because it was designed many, many years ago. Number two the countries aren't paying what they're supposed to pay. I took such heat, when I said NATO was obsolete. It's obsolete because it wasn't taking care of terror."
"With that being said, NATO is very important to me. There's five countries that are paying what they're supposed to. Five. It's not much."
We can only imagine that all the freeloader NATO member states that are continuously whining about Russia's expansion west (see image below), but pay nothing in membership fees because big brother America will flip the bill, are now shaking in their whiny little snowflake boots.Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump called into question the viability of NATO, the disproportionate US financial contribution to the alliance and Washington's pledge to defend NATO's members as per Article 5 of the Washington Treaty that established the alliance in 1949.
Merkel'sOpen Borders a Catastrophe
"He reserved some of his most dismissive remarks for the EU and Merkel, whose open-border refugee policy he called a "catastrophic mistake."
AND
"People, countries want their own identity and the UK wanted its own identity."
What a breath of fresh air! A politician and US President-Elect speaking the obvious - and politically INcorrect truth - about policies which are clearly part of the PTB's overall efforts to destroy national sovereignty on the way to a one world government.
Excellent!

Interviews x 2: Trump slams NATO & EU, tax for BMW, question of Merkel
In two separate, and quite striking, interviews with Germany's Bild (paywall) and London's Sunday Times (paywall), Donald Trump did what he failed to do in his first US press conference, and...RC
