Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is weighing in on President Donald Trump's demands NATO countries pay their committed two percent of the alliance or face invasion from Russia. Trump has always maintained NATO countries must pay their defense obligations -- obligations NATO governments agreed to as part of receiving collective protections of the alliance. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned Saturday that former President Donald Trump will seek to withdraw the U.S. from NATO if he wins a second term in the White House.
In remarks during a lunchtime panel at the Munich Security Conference, Clinton urged delegates

If NATO countries think Russian troops will soon be crossing their borders, they would be investing way more than 2% of their GDP in defense. They still expect Uncle Sam to swoop in and save the day.

Good grief. It was Hillary who pushed the RESET button with Russia and allowed them to purchase a large amount of our uranium. She would love to have the USA change to a Russia style dictatorship as long as she was in control.

Trump never said anything about withdrawing from NATO, but he DID point out the freeloaders who weren't paying what they had promised to contribute to the common defense strategy.
Now that Putin's violence and insanity is pointing out that the world IS NOT a 'perfectly safe place' and that Hitlerian, conquest made dictators still sit in positions of power in Europe.....the whole idea of a common defense is far, far less theoretical. And the Poles are arming up, big time, and so are the Germans, suddenly realizing that having 325 main battle tanks is pretty damned minimal, especially with half of them down, waiting for spare parts that haven't been manufactured. And since Russia has lost about 3,000 main battle tanks destroyed in the Ukraine invasion.....having a total strength of 10% of the two year loss level is looking pretty damned lean and flimsy.

You know what the countries who do pay their way are? Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania. All former Soviet bloc countries.
Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Turkey, Chechia, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bulgaria are all a bunch of leeches willing to let everyone else do the heavy lifting.

We’ve supported NATO long enough. We should have gradually let the go when Europe became socialist and uppity. They won’t help us when we’re in trouble, and we’re gonna need it for ourselves.
Ukraine wasn’t our problem. It would have been over a lot sooner without us. We didn’t help the Ukes. We made it easier for the Blackrock-bought Congress to make a killing and grow their bank accounts.
We have enough problems of our own, and they’re not going to be solved if we’re sending resources to every problem spot on the planet.

Hillary must think that she is a fortune teller, giving a speech claiming what Trump will do in the future.

Clinton collected millions of dollars for Haiti and didn't give them a cent. Why should anybody else pay their bills? Chelsea got a nice wedding out of it.

Once again, Hitlary puts her buffoonery on display for all to see. I thank God every day that Donald Trump kept that corrupt be-otch out of the Oval office.

Hillary ought to get her claws out of the adulterous husband in her fake marriage and get her own life. She is only famous for being famous and her fame is due entirely to glomming onto the power her husband earned. As a U.S. senator or Secretary of State, whenever selflessness and statesmanship were required she showed nothing but a talent for gathering filthy lucre for personal gain.
