I know.It just seemed like it was some kind of commemorative gathering to remember the victims and then he kind of goes off on one about defence spending.I agree with what he said though.

its the only time he will meet them for a year or 2 so I guess he had to mention it, its a whole lot of money

[smudgie]

He was spot on, it was a NATO meeting, condolences were paid first plus a minutes silence, then down to business.
Not a Trump fan but he said exactly what he has preached to be fair, in this instance.

why was merkel there#? shes NOT a prime minister or president

[Denver]

why was merkel there#? shes NOT a prime minister or president

Because she is in charge of Germany

[Denver]

Theresa May said the UK are ahead of their target to the point she wants it increased

[smudgie]

She is the Chancellor, the German equivalent to our Prime Minister, her party won the last election and she is leader of her party.

[the truth]

She is the Chancellor, the German equivalent to our Prime Minister, her party won the last election and she is leader of her party.
shes not the president though, Frank-Walter Steinmeier is

[smudgie]

shes not the president though, Frank-Walter Steinmeier is

The Chancellor is the leader..above the President.

[joeysteele]

Exactly, well pointed out.

[Scarlett.]

I just can't be bothered to care about this buffoon anymore.

i agree merkel is terrible lol
she is also NOT the european president either , so why is she allowed to dictate and make threats to the uk on behalf of the eu

[Niamh.]

Yeah, same over here, we have a president but he's more for appearances and ceremonial stuff, the Taoiseach is the one who's actually running the country

Trump is a repeat offender MORON!
It was explained to him in very basic (and explicitly factual) terms last time he claimed that NATO members literally owed the US bigly amounts of cash that that isn't how it works yet he repeated the same claim this time! Is it plain stupidity or blatant ignorance on his part ? I'd say it's probably a large (or even ''Yuge....people everywhere are saying it'') amount of both.

The idiot isn't even mentally equipped to run a bicycle let alone a ****ing Country!

I'd be absolutely amazed if he's still living in the White House this time next year! He's already sunk up to his mouth in the **** swamp and, if early reports are true (and the source is known for the reliability of their information), ''Michael Flynn is working with U.S. Attorney’s office, has begun process of flipping on Donald Trump'' (which explains why he plead the 5th earlier this week) then his alledged 'Presidency' doesn't have long to go.
For the sake of all the decent Americans, who still want the best for their Country and EVERYONE who lives in it, let's hope that the damage done by this utter bufoon and his supporting cast of criminals and ne'er do wells isn't irreversible.

I agree Smudgie,I wouldn't say he 'ripped' into them either,he just said what he thought,nothing wrong with that.

Trump showing this NATO leader, who the real leader is.

I lead from the front, not the back.

That is absolutely disgusting. Does Trump not understand good manners?
What an egotistic jerk.

[jaxie]

I think it was perfectly reasonable to ask them to pay fees that they are due. If they want to NATO to continue and be strong those not paying their fair share must do so. As to timing why would asking people to pay what they owe ever be inappropriate?

What an egotistic jerk.It's not really is it, when you weigh it up against other things?

Spitting in someones face isn't really disgusting when you weigh it up against gouging someones eye out......... that kind of a thing?

[Denver]

Why is the UK the only country that wants to raise it though?

Putting your hands on someone is never OK Alf :nono:

Putting your hands on someone is never OK Alf :nono:Well if that's your attitude, if ever you're hanging off a cliff and I happen to be strolling by, I'll remind you of that.

Sometimes you need a shove in the right direction.
