Trump: After spending trillions of dollars on NATO, Italy wouldn’t even think of becoming involved with Iran

AI Overview

The United States funds NATO, but this funding is split into two primary categories: direct funding and indirect defense spending.

1. Direct Funding (Shared Budget): The United States contributes to NATO's common-funded budgets, which pay for the operational costs of NATO's civilian administration, military command structures, and joint infrastructure programs.

The Cost Share: Contributions are based on a country's Gross National Income. Under a cost-sharing agreement, the U.S. pays approximately 15% to 16% of these costs, which caps U.S. direct contributions at the exact same percentage as the next largest contributor, Germany.

Dollar Amount: The U.S. directly contributes roughly $933 million annually to this shared budget.

2. Indirect Funding (National Defense)The bulk of financial commitment to NATO happens indirectly. NATO members do not pay the United States for protection; rather, each member country funds its own national military.

The Guideline: NATO sets a guideline for all members to spend at least 2% of their national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on their own domestic defense budgets.

The U.S. Contribution: As a global superpower, the United States spends roughly $980 billion annually on its military. This makes the U.S. the largest single contributor, accounting for around 60% of total allied defense spending across the entire alliance.

worry about how yall just humiliated by Iran and made America look dumb by your big mouth that never seems to close your week long rants about how it’s the best deal ever made blah blah blah and they walk in and walk out making you look like a fool worry about that not Italy

All this because Meloni called his old, pervy, ogling ass out for making up stories.

This yellow monkey only knows how to talk nonsense. Before the market opened, you were the world's leading power. What did you learn that now you are joining Italy and NATO?!? Stop talking nonsense.

If you actually read behind his hard delivery , his lack of political awareness and tact , there is actually a genuine and legitimate message .

He’s right , Europe has been lacking on its commitments towards their obligations re: NATO . The Iran debacle however is a sideshow regarding the nuclear capability unless the US is prepared to unveil its rationale for this statement .

Europe however is sadly lacking and reliant upon the US to lead any confrontational actions . You can’t knock the man for stating the obvious

Italy is too busy arresting citizens who criticize the illegal immigrants who invaded their country, and the government does nothing about it.

Most socalled funding of NATO is USA own initiated conflicts and wars, like f.ex. mini - Bush fake story of weapons of mass destruction. All caused by incompetent Presidents, with mental disturbances. And now, when Trump the greatest liar and clown in US history makes up his own stories as pleasing his failures, which are not few. We simply dont need a corrupt traitor and lying leadership in US to tell us what to do, while they bully us and also "need" our teritory. The Ukrainian - Russian war was only chaos with Trump and his endless meeting and deals - talks with our enemy, his friend, Putin. Putin has breached more than 25 agreements in his 26 year leadership, so what "deal" is important here, other than defeat Ruzz ?? After US left because of their chaotic war in Middle East, and Europe took over together with Ukraine, and now most moves well for Europe. We will defeat Russia soon. Sad for him and his friend Putin, but a real fact. The clown say twice they have crushed and dismantled the missile program and bombed the nuke production, and uranium enrichment and storages, but we see just shortly after it is a lie, like is the Trump normal. So why should we be involved in Trumps chaos. Absolutely not. Our clear message, stay out of Europe, our issues, and also the Ruzz conflict which we solve with a defeat and will be holding the criminals there accountable. Keep Vance and Hegseth and other puppets away. They are spineless idiots with no experience other than licking Trump butt. And if you want to leave NATO, do so, we can manage ourself. We dont need unreliable traitors inside NATO. The conflict in Ukraine is a proof of it, even on half machinery. We also owe and have 550 nukes ready for use, so no need of USA for deterance. Simply said; We dont want to do ANYTHING together with Trump and his incomeptent puppies. Stay away, untill you cleaned up WH and Congress with sane people.
