You know what else Germany is doing? Paying their full share for NATO.

Do you have a link to that, I want to read about it.

For the people to lazy to use google

Chancellor Angela Merkel has already released plans to increase troop numbers for the first time since the Cold War, and says she is committed to gradually growing defense spending to reach the two percent of GDP target.

At her White House meeting with Trump on Friday, she said Germany has increased its defense spending by eight percent last year, and repeated the commitment to reach the two percent of GDP goal by 2024.

Germany recently assumed leadership of one of four new NATO battalions deployed along its eastern flank, part of the alliance’s attempts to deter further aggressive Russian behavior in the region.

So you lied again basically. Because the pay by 2024 was in 2014 under Obama, that's nothing new. You said they're paying their full share now.

I want the link to what you actually said:

"You know what else Germany is doing? Paying their full share for NATO."

Is it hard siting with that stick shoved up your ass?

Obama: America need to be less important in the world. - Great visionary, a revolutionary leader.

Trump: NATO nations need to contribute more and accept more responsibility in securing peace. - CRAZY, Dangerous, A Disaster for the USA.

It's it hard lying all the time? Give me the link to what you said:

"You know what else Germany is doing? Paying their full share for NATO."

Not links to other stuff.

"Only in 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and intervened militarily in eastern Ukraine, did NATO leaders meeting in Wales agree to the 2 percent standard, and even then they urged members to “move toward” that goal by 2024, still seven years away."

Who was President in 2014?

Your own posts disagree with each other. You said they're paying their full share now but then you posted:
"and repeated the commitment to reach the two percent of GDP goal by 2024."

The commitment made under Obama.

You're acting like Trump came in, took charge, and now Germany is paying their 2%

You're right. I made a mistake, DE is not currently paying the full 2% of GDP.

They have and are increasing the size of their ARMY and deploying MORE troops to PROTECT THEIR OWN BORDER.

I didn't write anything about Trump or Obama. You just fill in the blanks as you please.

 

[JB Lions]

You did write about Trump, I just quoted you in my last post.

So basically, Germany is sticking to their commitment made under Obama.

Ok, hence me asking. Because I didn't recall any news that they were.

They are saying Franken stalling with "In coming weeks" hoping after the bama election he won't be the dirtiest shirt in the hamper, and something might change.

"Von der Leyen acknowledged that the German military "urgently needs a modernisation drive" and that boosting military spending was "simply a matter of fairness in the alliance".

"Germany has a strong economy. None of our partners would understand it if we didn't manage to do our part while poorer countries have to tighten their belts to meet the target."

"3.9-percent increase in defence spending already set out in the 2018 federal budget."

Thanks President Trump #MAGA

That was my point. Under Obama, asking other countries to take more responsibility was fine, no one freaked out. Trump did the same thing, lighting a fire under everyone's ass.

You made no point, you were incorrect. They already made that agreement under Obama. You lied about them paying in full under Trump.

Then, -10 for using your crutch again. That doesn't seem to bother you since Trump had way more.

Joy Behar is much dirtier than him. Why hasn't she been fired from "The View"?

You're too much of a lying hypocrite to acknowledge it.

I love how you go back and edit your shit.
