The media and the political establishment like to refer to European countries as great allies of the United States. However, is that true? Most European leaders are leftists who believe in big government, climate change, open borders, and neverending wars. All these principles were rejected by American voters in the election of President Donald Trump.
Europe has been swindling Americans for decades, as our country has provided expensive military protection, allowing them to establish lavish welfare states. Since their military funding was limited, these countries had the ability to offer extensive government programs, early retirement, minimal work weeks and other extravagances for their citizens.
Fortunately, President Trump demanded that European countries increase their military spending. At the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit last December, members “made a commitment to investing 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually” on “core” national defense by 2035. Finally, NATO countries will relieve the financial toll on the United States.
