1 - ambassadors have been fired and not replaced for MONTHS before, this really isn't new
2 - fukk the UN, I've already made my feelings about them known here.
3 - Trump's stance on NATO might actually be his fairest point TBH.
Why is the US funding 22% of NATO spending when there are 27 other countries??
Trump aside...why is it OK for America to be funding almost a quarter of all NATO spending, while all the other countries still benefiting from it?
and...
Trump: No, I don’t want to pull it out. NATO was set up at a different time. NATO was set up when we were a richer country. We’re not a rich country anymore. We’re borrowing, we’re borrowing all of this money. We’re borrowing money from China, which is sort of an amazing situation. But it was a much different thing. NATO is costing us a fortune and yes, we’re protecting Europe with NATO but we’re spending a lot of money. Number one, I think the distribution of costs has to be changed. I think NATO as a concept is good, but it is not as good as it was when it first evolved.
