THE ERA OF TRUMP

[pineapplemike]

holy shit, great trump press conference today. lots of middle east talk, syria talk, russia talk, lots of good shit in here to be honest. quote of 2019 so far imo

"I don't want to be in Syria forever. It's sand, and it's death."

@18:00

this one was confusing to transcribe

"We spend in Afghanistan more in one month, than what we're talking about for the wall."

also i like the one where he says he was elected by americans, not by europeans, when explaining his low approval ratings in europe

[C-Mag]

That was awesome he called out Obama for the plane loads of cash to Iran.

[BjornP]

I wonder if he himself actually knows that even if Germany, or others, were to pay the required 2% or 4% or whatever percentage, none of that money would actually go to the US?

[Speaker to Animals]

We'd pay less, genius, if you lot honored your obligations rather than freeloading on the American taxpayer.

[BjornP]

Lol, sure you would. You got 63K military personnel stationed across all of Europe. They'd just be redeployed to Asia or the Middle East or Venezuela or whereever you're having your next war.

Totally our fault, that... He apparantly does want to be Europe's president, after all.

[Speaker to Animals]

It is certainly your governments' fault for not fulfilling their obligations.

You yourself argued Americans are obliged to go to the brink of nuclear war if even the most inconsequential of you are threatened by Russia, including her former satellites.

Yet you have no duty to meet the most basic obligations of the same treaty. As if you are entitled to a national defense bankrolled by the American middle class, all while you gloat about your generous welfare state made possible by your people spending less than 2% on defense.

Sure. Seems legit..

[BjornP]

You're forgetting who our obligation is to, I think. It isn't to America. It's to our NATO allies. If you want to spend less, spend fucking less. It's not Europe that bloats your defense spending, it's all your ridiculous wars and operations in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia.

You yourself argued Americans are obliged to go to the brink of nuclear war if even the most inconsequential of you are threatened by Russia, including her former satellites.

Never once said that. On the contrary I've said you're free to back out at any time you want. Stay in NATO or don't. Be an ally, or don't.

Yet you have no duty to meet the most basic obligations of the same treaty. As if you are entitled to a national defense bankrolled by the American middle class, all while you gloat about your generous welfare state made possible by your people spending less than 2% on defense.

Who's "gloating" about my welfare state? You're projecting someone or something unto me that I've never once said. I believe that our way of life is superior, sure, but I never "gloated" about it - that's just your inferiority complex talking. Me gloating about life here accomplishes about as much as gloating to a Chinese that I have more freedom than him. Even if he agrees, he'd just say too much freedom is dangerous and leads to chaos.

Also, there's not much welfare state left here, anyway. Your leftist media's positive portrayal of our welfare state is both outdated by a decade or more, and it's them (your own leftists) who want you to copy Scandinavia, not us Scandinavians who want you to become like us.

Does your country give its citizens basic health care through taxes essentially? Thanks.

Yes.

I wonder if the democrats have any idea how badly the image plays across non-urban America of a widow and her baby burying that cop murdered by an illegal immigrant gang banger who was allowed to get away with his crimes up to that point because of sanctuary policies promulgated by people like Pelosi -- all while Pelosi vaycays in Hawaii.

No one is seeing that. The media ain't covering that shit. And besides what effect does it have? The left6on here still want to see the caskets of dead soldiers not because they think it will make a difference but so people like dirty dick and English Flaggot can jerk off to it.

I agree. The general population doesn't even know about this.
