Does America Need NATO?

Former President Donald Trump has recently reiterated his stance that the United States is unfairly carrying the financial burden of the NATO alliance. He has criticized other NATO members for not meeting their defense spending targets and believes that the US should not protect allies who fail to meet these targets. Trump threatened to withdraw from NATO during his presidency as this has been a longtime grudge. So, who is contributing their fair share?

NATO nations have agreed to pay 2% of GDP toward the alliance in 2014 in the wake of the Crimea annexation. Unfortunately, written agreements carry no weight in politics as of recent years. Trump believes anyone failing to pay their bills should become the target as they do not deserve the protection of the US after years of failing to meet their obligations. Trump would “encourage them [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want” to the 18 nations who are not meeting the 2% target.

Only three NATO nations besides the US were committing to the agreement when Trump was sworn into office in 2017 (Greece, Poland, the UK). NATO members increased their contributions after Trump threatened to withdraw. Still, as of today, only seven of those members besides the US are paying their fair share (the UK, Greece, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Croatia, and Lithuania). Newly added Romania, Hungary, Finland, and Slovakia are so grateful to be part of the alliance that they are paying over 2%.

Stoltenberg Jens NATO

Europe arguably has more to lose in this war, so why is the United States bankrolling NATO? Does America actually need NATO for protection? No. But they do need NATO to create and amplify wars. Even European economic powerhouses like Germany (1.57%) and France (1.9%) have failed to meet their 2014 agreement.

Trump’s comments have sparked anger within the alliance, with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg saying Trump’s comments threaten global security. While encouraging an attack on any nation is counterproductive, the numbers clearly indicate that NATO is taking full advantage of America, which is propping up the entire alliance by providing over 70% of overall funding. No one is helping America to secure its borders, but America is expected to act as a global police force, abandon all domestic interests, and interfere whenever another nation’s borders are in jeopardy. America does not need NATO; NATO needs America.

Biden’s Unsettling X Post – Senate Passes $95 Billion Foreign Aid Bill


Posted originally on Feb 14, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Joe Biden is failing epically on social media. Biden’s campaign attempted to join TikTok, despite his own administration banning the app from government devices. The comments on his video show exactly why the government wants to ban TikTok as they are extremely critically of the Biden regime and uncensored. While the nation was distracted by the Super Bowl on Sunday, Biden’s team posted the above image to x (formerly Twitter).

The image is a longstanding meme coined “Dark Brandon,” portraying Joe Biden as a laser-eyed villain. Snopes and other far-left mouthpieces are stumped at the meaning behind the post, however, many believe he was attempting to mock conspiracy theorists who believed the Super Bowl was rigged in favor of Chiefs, who star player and girlfriend support both Biden, climate change, and the COVID agenda. The timing of the post that went out after the game ended in overtime is a bit suspicious.

“Just like we drew it up.” The vague caption can only point to one thing – the next spending bill for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. On Sunday, the US Senate considered a motion to advance a $95 billion foreign aid bill that received a 67-27 vote in favor of moving the bill forward. The bill had failed numerous times but Biden insisted that the American public would pay, Ukraine in particular, by any means necessary. His team had the paperwork ready, just like they drew it up.

By Tuesday, the Senate cleared the aid package in a 70-29 vote. Notably, Democrats Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, and Jeff Merkley voted against this bill. Senators Rand Paul and J.D. Vance advocated for the people of America and spent hours speaking to their peers as the pleaded with them to STOP the spending. “Will we give those who wish us harm more reason to question our resolve, or will we recommit to exercising American strength?” McConnell asked, as he and Schumer celebrated the latest addition to the national debt.

The House will now decide on this legislation, but clearly, the plan is in place. The establishment refuses to be dismissed and will eliminate any opposition.

Tucker Digesting his Interview

Tucker Digesting
Father Martin Armstrong ARMY North Afria

My father was a senior officer with General Patton. Indeed, German General Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel (1891–1944), who was famous in his lifetime as a brilliant strategist, including among his adversaries. His tactical prowess and decency in treating Allied prisoners earned him the respect of opponents. While Rommel never wrote a book, Panzer Greift, which consisted of papers and notes that were assembled in 1953. He did write Infanterie greift an on infantry tactics. My father always said that Patton did want to read what Rommel wrote to get into the mindset of his opponent. My father was with Patton from North Africa to Berlin.

My father always taught me it is NOT what I think but what my opponent thinks. I have taken that advice my whole life.

For all the people criticizing Tucker for doing this interview, they are complete idiots to keep it gentlemanly. If you oppose anyone in war or trading, you better understand their motive and thinking process. When I was managing the estate of Aristotle Onassis, who had the largest holding of platinum, it took me months to get approval from the CFTC to trade. Having to prove the vast amount of physical metal in a vault, you had to know the thinking process of the dealers in order to even trade. If not – you are dead meat.

One time, I had perhaps a few thousand contracts of silver, and the computer projected it would crash. I told my floor broker, Emerald, the big local Oni Morrison, would do a flash bid for 1,000 lots. I told him not to offer anything and to wait for Oni Morrison to make a flash bid and instantly say DONE. He did, and then he flashed another 1,000 bid – DONE! Then, one more time, Oni said 1,000, and one more time, my broker said DONE! Then Silver crashed, and I was out. If you do not know HOW your opponent acts, you cannot trade. Even the silver manipulation I took on the entire club because I knew how they would act and won.

If you do not know your opponent, they will defeat you. Tucker’s interview should be studied – not condemned!

Nikki Haley’s Bizarre SNL Appearance


Posted originally on Feb 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |  

The Democrats want the public to accept Nikki Haley as the alternative to Joe Biden. Over the weekend, Nikki Haley appeared on Saturday Night Live in an attempt to pander to the left. Her jokes were based on her only platform – defeating Donald Trump. The skit backfired, and Haley is trending online for her embarrassing performance. The Democrat’s Trojan Horse has opened before reaching the gates.

Haley asks a comedian portraying Donald Trump if he’s mentally competent during the skit. She pulled every cheap shot in the book, from joking about his legal battle with crazed E. Jean Carroll to the rumor that Trump is misogynistic. The actor portraying Trump declared that women are bad with money and should never run the economy, pandering to women voters despite Trump appointing countless women to his cabinet. The final nail in the coffin was Haley’s tasteless joke about slavery, as she has refused to admit that slavery played a major role in the US Civil War.

Haley managed to insult the elderly, women, sexual abuse survivors, and African Americans in a matter of minutes. She is completely disconnected from reality, as are her campaign managers. Her appearance on SNL was more than a failed comedy sketch; rather, it revealed that she is not fit to be the voice of America, and NEITHER side approves of her.

Donald Trump appeared on SNL during his presidential run to show that he was indifferent to criticism from the left. He gained the respect of many for putting himself in the hot seat and actually entertained the audience as he was in tune with the American people. Haley showed the public once again that her only platform is being an alternative to Donald Trump for the Republican Party. She is not a Republican and her SNL sketch has turned the Democrats against her. This woman has absolutely nothing to offer the American people other than war and destruction.

Providing Cover – U.S. Intel Officials Proclaim Iran Didn’t Have Control Over Terror Group that Killed U.S. Military with Drone


Posted originally on the CTH on February 2, 2024 | Sundance 

Obama and Biden like Iran.  Obama and Biden are facilitating a pro-Iran policy.  Obama and Biden don’t want to do anything against the interests of their pro-Iran position.  That’s the simple baseline.

As a direct consequence, the same U.S. intelligence community that proclaimed the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, now modify their prior intelligence to proclaim that Iran likely doesn’t have any control over the various terrorist networks they support.  As a result, Biden cannot conduct a retaliatory strike against Iran because Biden cannot prove a direct link to Iran.

Our intel agencies are essentially falling on the sword of ‘some people did something, but we can’t be sure.’ See how this works?

WASHINGTON – Intelligence officials have calculated that Tehran does not have full control over its proxy groups in the Middle East, including those responsible for attacking and killing U.S. troops in recent weeks, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

The Quds Force — an elite branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps — is responsible for sending weapons and military advisers as well as intelligence to support militias in Iraq and Syria as well as the Houthis in Yemen. The groups have varying ambitions and agendas, which sometimes overlap, but Tehran does not appear to have complete authority over their operational decision-making, the officials said.

While the disclosure means it may be particularly hard to predict what actions these groups will take, it also could lower the chance of the U.S. getting pulled into a direct confrontation with Iran. Any indication that Tehran was directly involved in ordering or overseeing the attacks would make U.S. retaliation against Iran more likely. (read more)

Would You Die Fighting for the Biden Administration?

Americans Sgt. William Rivers, 46, Spc. Brianna Moffatt, 23, and Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders, 24 were killed by an Iranian drone strike in Jordan that injured 40 others. This was one of over 150 attacks on US troops stationed in the Middle East, and Washington has yet to respond.

“While we are still gathering the facts of this attack, we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq,” Biden said. “We will strive to be worthy of their honor and valor. We will carry on their commitment to fight terrorism. And have no doubt—we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing.

The enemy has been identified, but the solution has not. The country requires strong and courageous leadership during these uncertain times. The lack of transparency from the Biden Administration is causing the public to cower as they have no confidence in the US government. Now, rumors are swirling that a US draft could be imminent.

America neither has the manpower nor financial power to back these endless wars. Press Secretary Jean-Pierre offended the families of the three heroes by proudly saying they died “fighting on behalf of this administration.” Now, this is precisely the problem – NO ONE wants to die or fight for a government that continually disrespects its troops and leads them to certain death on behalf of foreign interests.

“Our deepest condolences go out and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost three brave folks who are military folks who are brave who are always fighting and are fighting on behalf of this administration of the American people obviously more so importantly,” she said.

Now, two Navy SEALs died fighting in Somalia last week, and some members of the Democratic Party are now offering support to Somalia rather than the fallen soldiers. America’s enemies no longer fear retaliation and see the US as divided and weak without anyone at the helm.

In reality, Biden will sign whatever the Pentagon puts in front of him. His administration has done nothing but implement policies to destabilize America, as we must remember the goal of the Build Back Better governments is to dethrone America as the world’s leading superpower. How will America respond? Who will fight the war? We saw how Biden handled Afghanistan, discharged troops for refusing the COVID vaccine, and threw veterans on the streets to make room for the migrants.

This is why Socrates has been honing in on September as an important month for what may be this generation’s first military draft.
