I'm pretty sure that the regular people who argue the other side here are only "Pro NATO" because Trump is against it.

I would love to get a hold of their written opinions about NATO spanning a decade or two before Trump was president, assuming of course that they even had an opinion on the matter at all.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You'd have to be an American to get it, I guess.



Trump is a blowhard when it comes to getting along with Russia. In reality, despite all the noise and gafla, there has been a major increase in US NATO-directed spending and troops.

The Trump administration wants to spend $828 million in 2019 to build up military infrastructure in Europe as part of an ongoing initiative to deter Russian aggression and reinforce allies. Almost half of that construction funding would go toward U.S. Air Force projects.
The request would more than double military construction funding under the European Deterrence Initiative, or EDI, from the 2018 request — when not so long ago, the U.S. military was shrinking its Cold War-era footprint in Europe.

On 19 February 2018, the Parliamentary Secretary of the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zanda Kalnina-Lukaševica, met with Elise Stefanik and Anthony Brown, members of the Committee on Armed Services at the U.S. House of Representatives.
During the meeting, the Parliamentary Secretary expressed satisfaction at Latvia’s intensive political dialogue with the U.S. Administration and the Congress, which had resulted in further U.S. support for the security and defence of Latvia: a constant rotational forward presence of the U.S. has been established in the country, U.S. troops take place in military exercises in the Baltic States and Poland on a regular basis, and the U.S. Congress has increased funding for the European Deterrence Initiative. Because of this, society in Latvia can feel more secure. Members of the Congress Stefanik and Brown pledged unwavering U.S. support for Latvia’s security and Article 5 of NATO Charter.

Big guns, better chow for US soldiers on Russia deterrence mission
Martinez and his platoon are among 500 173rd Airborne Brigade soldiers that swooped into the Baltics (Lithuania) this month on a mission to deter Russian aggression.
They have joined war games with local troops and new NATO battle groups deployed to the broader region — a buildup that collectively represents the alliance’s largest reinforcement of its eastern flank since the end of the Cold War.

Reassurance Initiative funding to deter Russia and reassure Allies, including by working with NATO to build more effective defense institutions in partner nations. In support of this, we have had persistent SOF presence for over 2 years in nearly every European country on Russia's western border (Baltics, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Georgia) – assuring our allies and partners while building host nation and NATO capabilities to compete short of conflict in a hybrid environment.

... the new deployment — which includes some 3,500 U.S. troops — marks the first-ever continuous deployment to the region (Poland) by a NATO ally (US).
In a separate but related mission, NATO will also deploy four battalions to its eastern flank later this year, one each to Poland and the three Baltic states. The U.S. will also lead one of those battalions.

posting inaccurate, out-of-date opinion

NOBODY has found Hillary's 33,000 scrubbed 'private' emails.

MEANWHILE. according to the DoJ

Department of Justice
Office of Public Affairs
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, July 13, 2018
Grand Jury Indicts 12 Russian Intelligence Officers for Hacking Offenses Related to the 2016 Election

There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity or knew they were communicating with Russian intelligence officers. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the vote count or changed the outcome of the 2016 election.

Everyone charged with a crime is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. At trial, prosecutors must introduce credible evidence that is sufficient to prove each defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, to the unanimous satisfaction of a jury of twelve citizens.

SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

Not exactly on topic, but I just heard news that America was on the verge of surpassing Russia in oil production.

So, will Germany buy oil from us now?
