🇺🇸❌🇺🇸NATO Shake Down: Trump’s 5% Demand 💵
According to the Financial Times, President-elect Donald Trump plans to demand that NATO members raise their defense spending to 5% of GDP—more than double the current 2% target. Additionally, Trump reportedly aims to maintain military aid to Ukraine, ensuring the continuation of support in the region.
❗️This is the Art of the Shake Down on full display. Trump, as always, says the quiet part loudly: NATO is a protection racket. Over $300 billion and the collective might of its members couldn’t save the engineered war in Ukraine, yet somehow it’s supposed to shield its shopkeeper members from real threats? The alliance is less about defense and more about draining European coffers to sustain Washington’s endless wars and MIC money laundering op.
