  • Trump weighs consequences for NATO allies on 'naughty' list

    From politico.com

    The White House has developed something akin to a “naughty and nice” list of NATO countries, as the Trump administration looks for ways to punish allies who refused to back the Iran war. The effort, which officials worked on ahead of NATO head Mark Rutte’s visit to Washington this month, includes an overview of members’ contributions to the alliance and places them into tiers, according to three European diplomats and a U.S. defense official familiar with the plan. It’s the latest sign that President Donald Trump plans to make good on his threats against allies who don’t adhere to his wishes. And it’s ... (full story)

The man's a complete PRICK!, he seem's to think NATO is his personal army to do with as he please's, not a joint defence agreement between allies.

The point is that he can do it, None of the other members can.
I'm guessing Spain is at top of the list followed by Austria.

A war of agression will never be supported, get your guys out of spanish territory, you do no good as long as trump is in power. Diplomacy is the best solution for conflicts, and obviously, we'll see how it'll go in the midterms

Let's see how Spain deals with it.
They certainly have got China's backing and the Iran's terrorists won't bother them either. Not only that, they are protected by many NATO countries forming a buffer zone between them and Russia. They can probably walk away from NATO fairly safely.
Ps. I got no guys there to get out.

You don't know the actuations of the spanish goverment to aid Ukraine, Leopard tanks, 40 in total, Leopard 2A4's, M113 APCs, Vamtacs, Patriots, ATM's, Ammo, artillery, and training. You think that every country in NATO decides to do whatever it wants?, the answer is no, there is no slacking off, search the web for info, you'll probably see some shocking stuff about where our men are, thousands of kms away, land air and water. The other thing, ever heard of passport power? Spain stands at Nº 3, while the USA at 12. This means that we get along well with most of the countries, and we don't nitpick random wars, and we're finding China as a more reliable partner than America because of the recklesness that america is showing.
Canada too, its moving towards china, and i don't blame them

Well, nobody in NATO ordered Spain to send the said equipment to Ukraine. Spain decided to do so on its own accord, so I guess that means every country in NATO decides to do whatever it wants.
Anyway, you have a good argument when Trump comes knocking.
BTW, Canada is not exactly moving towards china. Canada is moving towards the world and China exists in the world too.

Then dont say that Spain isn't bothered at all, as it is a moral obligation that spain is fulfilling to the tick, and almost every NATO country. And about canada, it stings that they're moving away from the USA, including in military defence. Canada is moving away from America to Asia, for a reliable partner that doesen't threaten its integrity, and that probably has more potential in the long term, while the storm inside america is cleared, and yeah, Canada is moving more towards China is a fact

Anonymous, that is correct. I don't seek validation or notoriety. Those are core traits of pathological narcissism, Vancarbon.

Iran's danger level is heightened now and probably will be treated as the other two.

Gold is heating up again

With global uncertainty rising and currencies under pressure, gold is quietly reclaiming its spotlight as the ultimate safe haven. We could be looking at stronger upside if inflation sticks and central banks stay cautious.

Smart money is watching closely… are you?
