That's the first post in your own words I've seen in years, dear.

Good show.

Now, do you want to give Brian's question a stab?

Apart from the tsks, the relevant word is NATO.

Don't worry - NATO will bend over for Trump
or he'll cut off 100s of $billions in aid and assistance.
It's transactional.

So much for NATO existing to defend Europe from Soviet aggression, hey, Bobby? Now we have to defend against US aggression. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Greenland is owned by Denmark, Bobby. Does Trump want to dissolve NATO? Does Putin want to go to war with NATO? Gee, so many hard questions. You going to answer them or you going to duck and hide the way you usually do. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Actually, Denmark doesn't own Grenland.
Trump doesn't want to dissolve NATO.
Putin doesn't want to go to war with NATO.

Any other questions, duffer?

That's a threat to cut aid, Bobby, not an invasion.

But I'm curious. What aid would your DL cut?

The US doesn't provide aid and development assistance to NATO countries. Aid to Europe is focused primarily on Ukraine and countries dealing with Russian interference, such as Albania, Georgia, Moldova, North Macedonia and oh - Greenland.

Any attack on a NATO country requires members to intervene. One in, all in.

Yeah, Trumpy is ta da going to “make peace” between ruzzia and Ukraine while invading little Greenland. Be funny if the invading force stuffed up, landed in the wrong spot etc. How embarrassment if that happened.

Of course, Booby is too stupid to see this—he likes “strong men” tho and thinks Trumpy is one.

No it only provides funds to NATO. Which is then dispersed.

"Last year, the U.S. contributed 68 percent, which worked out to be 3.49 percent of America's total GDP for $860 billion of the $1.26 trillion NATO spent. "

https://www.newsweek.com/how-much-has-nato-cost-us-over-past-75-years-1886632

So the money given was not aid? Was it then a hindrance? Wink

Sure. Grenland is owned by Sweeden.

But who owns Greenland?

I'm curious.

The USA supplies military aid to NATO to stop the aggressive Putin
and it costs 10s of billions per annum -
already 100s of $billions to help Ukraine which indirectly helps NATO.

You see Trump knows that he's got a hand with 4 Aces in it and
NATO has only 2 pair.

NATO doesn't have one pair, if they did they would have put Russia in its place two weeks into the war.
