Ya gotta love the press. First, how do they know what was going through President Trump's mind at that moment or that his his look was smugness at that split second. Come on, there's real news out there.

Second, the article talks about his 'claims' that 23 of 28 nations aren't paying their fair share. They say claims like it has to be proven and isn't fact. But it is substantiated fact. These countries haven't met their defense spending targets for years. And they are minimums.

How bad is it? During the height of the Cold War Germany could field five armored corps with much more when reserves were called in. They had thousands of the best tanks in the world. Now they have 300, enough to equip maybe one division.

They supported us in Afghanistan. Every NATO member supported us. We owe them for that. We truly do. But we supported them for 50 years staring down the Soviet menace and we are still the teeth of NATO, keeping Russia out. I'd say we owe each other.

For me its not about what he was thinking, no one can know that for anyone, its about what he did - his actions and the fact Trump lacks decorum. But since this topic is about Dusko Markovic all I can say is sorry Sir, he does not represent all of us over here.
