@gina21764 You’re using emotion and stating opinionated assumptions. Overall defense budget and NATO spend- they are not the same. The nuance clearly goes over your head.

@truthcringe No, it’s accurate alright. We would spend what we spend on defense regardless of NATO. We will never stop wanting bigger and better. Very very little of what we spend is spent on NATO

Trump threatens to quit NATO. We spend $300 billion a year defending Europe — including their war in Ukraine. But when we need them they don’t lift a finger. What it would take to leave.

@gina21764 No. That’s not accurate. It’s no different than you paying taxes. You’re contributing. Some of it is for you in the future (e.g. social security). Most is not for you. NATO spending is collective. We contribute. It’s not only for us and our military.

@truthcringe @Microinteracti1 @profstonge No…we spent it on OUR military…which we would do whether or mot we’re in NATO

@mikepet22956425 There is a big difference between needing and expecting. We expected it - because we fund it.

@TheCollected_ @EricLDaugh Oh to be a thick ignorant American. Europe are crap, we don’t need Europe! Oh Europe please help us! Fucking thick Rep-Tard snowflake!

🚨 NATO IS USELESS! Look what they're making us do. We can't even fly where we want anymore. LEAVE NATO, they're spoiled leeches!

You claim to be an expert in geopolitics. One would assume you're a critical thinker. Clearly you're a simple mind. There are so many variables that go into US NATO presence. From Direct NATO common budgets, targeted Europe deterrence, US military presence/operations directly in Europe - how do we get there, how do we eat, sleep, etc.? Logistics, weapons transfer, the list goes on and on. Your comment about cutting all military aid.. comical. We spent nearly a trillion dollars in aid? You're a fool.

$300 billion? The Pentagon doesn’t write checks with “for Europe” in the memo line. America’s total defense budget is nearly a trillion dollars, and most of it is pointed at China and the Pacific. But let’s talk about showing up. When Russia invaded Ukraine and started running hybrid warfare across Europe, sabotage, cyberattacks, election interference, the works, Europe didn’t blink. Poland hit 4.2% of GDP on defense. The Baltics fortified their eastern borders. Germany doubled its budget almost overnight. Europe has been arming for the fight you keep pretending only you can handle. And what did America do? You cut all military aid to Ukraine. You told Europe it was on its own. Your Vice President flew to Munich to lecture your oldest allies about free speech while a land war raged on the continent. Then you threatened to walk out of the alliance entirely. You talk tough about defending Europe. But when it was time to actually stand firm against Russia, you got cold feet and ran. Europe remembers.

@DrMohammadIAdi1 Wahhh go cry some more in a corner

That's a blatant lie attributed with Reuters . North Korea has fixed its intercontinental nuclear arsenals on 30 different states of the United Kingdom and all cities of tiny Israel . There is nothing left with USA for any country in the world to make any alliance with a liar like Trump ,who is very unpredictable and impolite .

North Korea appears to be distancing itself from longtime partner Iran and carefully managing its public messaging to preserve the possibility of a new relationship with the US after the Iran war, South Korean lawmakers said, citing the spy agency reut.rs/4crSLw7

@drhossamsamy65 Thanks for making it crystal clear that a PhD in Psychology and “political activist” expertise has no place in war/contingency planning

⛔️Let me repeat this again, You don't do a rescue operation of one pilot with two C-130s loaded with tens of military troops‼️

@Patrik_airboy @theasyncawaiter @WarMonitor3 Because this is America. It’s what we do.

@theasyncawaiter @WarMonitor3 Yes, of cource, we all know US can loose a lot and still be much stronger than Iran, the point is why take huge risk and gamble with other soliders life to safe just one? it's just an odd math.

The supposedly great Iranian military was incapable of capturing an alone pilot with rudimentary evasive and survival training for over 24 hours, just embarrassing.

@jusanotjer1 Operation Barras was against an armed militia? Comparing that mission to rescue hostages from the “west side boys” is like saying an ant and lion are the same size

@ColbyBadhwar Sure mate. The UK managed similar operations in the past, Operation Barras, and France has also, alongside even Germany. The person you're quoting is some nobody, don't conflate his views with our actual military practices.

Hilarious that Europeans will accuse Americans of being "too materialistic" and then post garbage like this. The life of that WSO is priceless. If it was a European jet that had gone down, the crew would either be condemned to death by their government, or they'd beg the US to save them. No other country on earth could even attempt an operation of this scale.

@EGayusk75227 Your president is a lying corrupt homosexual who has never looked out for his people. Shut the fuck up

@stylist_que_2 He was there to bomb innocent civilians and children. Hard to have for that war criminal operating for a pedophile ring

A U.S. Army pilot is missing in Iran tonight, and somewhere in the darkness, he’s alone, holding on, fighting to survive—please keep him in your prayers. 🇺🇸🙏 I don’t have to agree with every decision made, but I will never turn my back on those who wear the uniform. They carry fear, pressure, and sacrifice that most people will never understand. I will never stand with anything that mocks their struggle or turns their pain into propaganda.

@ToTheMoonMiss This ain’t your country bitch. Not after this comment

@Marleigh_G @stylist_que_2 No motherfucker, I’ll stay in my own country. Let the Zionist regime that runs this country move over there.

@ToTheMoonMiss Bitch this ain’t your country. Not after a comment like this. You are a piece of shit who deserves to live in a 3rd world country to understand what it means to NOT be free.

@BoboBowe_697 @reporp2175 Sure. Compare CNN for both of them. Then compare Fox News for both of them. Then find the average between the two. You're still missing the point and in turn, proving my point.

@truthcringe @reporp2175 How about CNN? MAGA loves to pull CNN polls when the numbers are favorable, not looking so good today though!

Looks like Trumps approval is rating better than Obamas at the same point of his second term. Next time a democrat uses that to flex, you’re welcome.

@grok What was Obama's approval rating in March 2014? What was Trump's approval rating in March 2026? Combine top approval sources to get an average non-bias number. You MUST use the SAME sources or the data is bias. Do not use polling data if that source is no longer available for March 2026. Present the data the same way for each person.

@misfitpatriot_ I think your retarded ass needs to stop looking at weird ass polls from nobodies. 😂 x.com/iapolls2022/st…

@reporp2175 @BoboBowe_697 So what approval source would you prefer? I cited WSJ Wall Street Journal. Let's go ahead and find another source instead of pretending you're smart on X

@truthcringe @BoboBowe_697 Ultimately polls don’t mean shit retard. They all can be warped into any outcome you’d like by the wording of the questioning. By using some joke of a source in the first place should be embarrassing enough, but your retarded ass tried to defend the OP.

@reporp2175 @BoboBowe_697 No. OP claimed statistics but used 2 sources. Commenter decided to throw a different source to pretend like OP was lying. I simply provided approval data from the same source to substantiate OPs claim.

@truthcringe @BoboBowe_697 You’re a fucking retard. You’re bringing up a completely different source to try to prove your point now. 😂😂😂😂

@SetGrokFree @BoboBowe_697 That's not what I said either. OP made the post. I simply provided approval data from the same sources to substantiate the claim.

@truthcringe @BoboBowe_697 "Trump is so amazing he's .3% better than a democrat!!"

@FurkanGozukara @X accounts like this spreading fake propaganda to hundreds of thousand of followers should be restricted

The US Navy is in absolute panic mode. A naval expert reveals Washington is desperately strapping every available machine gun and missile defense system onto their massive carriers because they are terrified of unstoppable Iranian drone swarms.

@joequant Says the guy who lives in Hong Kong

So the big thing that is going to come out of this is that the US is losing militarily to Iran and Russia, and would probably lose to China. The problem was that the defense budget was just a racket to make people rich and was never set up to fight a 21st century war.

@BoboBowe_697 You are the one who argued his point. But his post was not wrong? WSJ has Trump .3% higher approval ratings.

@truthcringe After the OP used two different sources, retard

@BoboBowe_697 You picked a different source to argue your point? Atleast use the same sources to compare you fucking retard. According to WSJ, Obama was 41%. According to WSJ, Trump is 41.3%.

@misfitpatriot_ Wrong again, retard umass.edu/news/article/p…
