Trump sees NATO as a cost like in a business. Not an investment. NATO has kept peace in Europe since WW2 and allowed the USA to trade and make money. Its leadership also kept powers like Germany in check. NATO served the US very well.
@Baschn66 Agreed, but it would be more valuable if members like Germany met their NATO obligations.
Trump hasn't said any of this, just his enemies say this.... Trump said TP PAY 2%..... Eu nations are refusing to support NATO.
The guy was a dodgy business man, never a politician, and boy, does that show! He never grasped the subtleties of diplomacy, he's always been like a bull in a china shop, and that's definately expressed in how he goes about running either a business or a government.
@@willkerslake8820 Trump was right on most issues.
Europe is a cost, the rest of the world is an opportunity.
As a registered Republican and veteran during the Reagan/Bush era, I'm tired of Trump!
I'm not american but I'm wondering what happened? Reagan took a tough stand against soviet union and during his presidency the soviet union collapsed. Now there is putin developing new kinds of weapons to destroy the united states (long-range nuclear torpedoes and nuclear powered cruise missiles, possible nuclear weapons in space) and trump from the same party does... nothing???
If he’s tired of Europe.. can I have his golf course in Aberdeenshire ?? I promise to Bulldoze it all back to sand dunes for the local wildlife 🎉😮
As long as we can all help you do it. 👍
It’s losing millions each year. Sounds like a great idea
If you really want to get under his skin, turn it into the Barack Obama Windmill Farm.
Oh, I thought it would be transformed into a gopher reservation with an extensive breeding program to eventually distribute said burrowing golf course-destroying furry friends to the other golf courses of "Mr." Dumbo "The Massive Dump" Trump. sort of a Caddyshack part 2,3 & 4 all rolled into one...Who's with me?😃😋

Should America leave Nato America would never ever be regarded as trustworthy again.
And this is the main idea of russia's - china's great plan , so ask yourself who is he working for ?
@@soevillAmerica.
Trustworthy to whom? Will Europe build alliances with Russia and China?
@@dennisweidner288 Considering him and his maga supporters spout Russian propaganda talking points regarding Ukraine, I'd say he works for Russia lol. Robert F Kennedy also coincidentally had a campaign poster that had a Russian coffee shop in the background. Add to all this circumstantial stuff, there was speculation of Russian interference in elections leading to people wanting to impeach trump. Trump is also a liar, e.g. claiming to want border security yet didn't want a bill that Biden wanted which included border security measures. It was all because Trump wanted to deprive the democrats of a win. Trump is evil. He is also a convicted sex abuser in a civil case... how much more evidence of him being shady do you need? When is enough enough?
America leaving is fine but we as Europeans need to stop trading in the $. Watch American inflation spiral out of control with Europe and brics stopping. America is a defence exporter, nations trade in the $ to receive that stability.
I'm sure whole world is tired of Trump. Just turn him off already
That suggests if you can turn Trump off, you can also turn Trump on. And the very thought of that makes me need to go and bleach my brain.
sorry about that, Trump has allowed our idiots to feel like they are in control of everything
I wonder if Trump gets tired of Trump?
He'll be back in no time. A few months
Wish that was the case but least likely as he likes his own voice too much
on July 4, 1987 Trump first met with the KGB in Moscow. In November, 1987 he bought a full page ad in the New York Times saying that the U.S. should leave NATO, and how great the USSR was.... he has been with the Russians ever since. Putin owns him in SO MANY WAYS.
Sure. You are a mental person.
Read the ad, it’s actually much better than what you have (mis)represented here
Was it hard to type while you were on your knees servicing liberal politicians???
did you find this BS in the hilary requested Steele Dossier that even the NY times was completely made up. Seek help for your TDS Ryan
After asparagus parties in Moscow….
Great program. I may not always agree with John Bolton but I always listen to him.
I agree. But Bolton stands up for American military
Who elected John Bolton?
@@jimoharabolton was a GW Bush recess appointeee under Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution
Why?
Europe mostly sick and tired of Trump and hope he goes to prison or at least goes into hiding at Mar a Lago. Trying to give Trump credit for the passage of Ukraine aid now is absurd.
@michaelm8027 In fact, Trump was right on most issues including not becoming dependent on Russian energy and meeting NATO obligations.
You don’t speak for Europe.
So you speak for all of Europe do you? How godlike of you.
@@dennisweidner288still history for europe and usa are vastly different... Europe is quite tired of war on our own doorsteps and maybe bit blue-eyed to believe russia was starting to be bit western like. And russia is very close and has resources to sell so it was kinda nobrainer to be honest. It failed and alot of countries paid the price of being deceived.
@@schwartzy65 I wouldn't say it was a no-brainer. By 2014, Putin's goals were clear. Yes we have different histories. But if anything you should know Russia better.

Trump is an idiot and hope he stays away from Europe That he is tired about it is a good thing
Europe is tired of Trump, his attitude towards women and his lack of respect for the law both at home and abroad
And what about Ukraine's attitude towards men?
Trump paid lots of women to sleep with him which makes him the opposite of a my misogynist i.e. a 🐈 beggar
@AngusAbbott-qf8xm Europe may be tired of Trump, but if they had listened to him about not becoming dependent on Russian energy and meeting their NATO obligations, they would be in a lot better shape today. I'm tired of Europe. When they stop expecting America to finance their defense, I'll be more interested in hearing from them. As for women, I think you are correct. But we are not electing a pope, we are electing a president. AndBNiden may have the correct attitudes, but he also promotes the idea of forcing school girls and young women athletes to compete against biological males. Adult women have the courts to turn to, and young female athletes have no protection. As for the law, the people who have no respect for the law are the Democrats, they 1) refuse to prosecute criminals, 2) attack the police, and 3) use the courts to punish their political opponents.
He doesn't have respect for anyone. Not even for Christians, he pretends to be one though.
@@bleachdiet559go and live there, after all it’s Russia that pays your bills 😉
And Europe and 3/4 of the world is tired of Trump !!
4/4 there are still some tin foil hats that supports Trump, bit not 1/4th
Good. So we can stop funding the World's defense.
@@farzana6676 ..... Europe fought 13 wars together with the US to support the US, do you think we were paid for that? How many wars have you fought for Europe?
@theadvocate6899 We saved you in both World Wars and won the Cold War for you. Europe is the freeloader continent. You spend all your money on social welfare and giving free benefits to your unproductive citizens, then you have no money left for defense, but you don't care because you expect the USA to cover your back forever. Europe is delinquent. That either changes now, or we will change it for you. America will no longer foot Europes bill.
It is very easy to "lead" Trump in the direction you want him to go. You just have to be willing to praise him and speak to his vanity. Narcissists are fairly easy to control. But it also applies to our antagonists in the Kremlin and Beijing. That makes Mr. Trump very, very unfit for the job in the White House!
Completely correct. Putin and Xi are exactly the same. Trump is a true menace to democracy. Trump favors autocracy.
Its funny reading commentary from people who THINK they are more intelligent than what they actually are...
Your first question you should ask yourself is why Europe is so weak that it needs America to defend itself. Europe = too much money on welfare, too little innovation and entrepreneurship and too little on defense.
Will not Trump have to get Congress approval to leave Nato?
A bill requirng that passed Congress. Biden is expected to sign it. I don't know if he's done so.
Yes
So this talking point is all BS then?
Yes. But this is TR. Facts don’t matter to them.
Trump would not even need to leave NATO to render it functionally impotent. Read Article 5 carefully. NATO members are not automatically required to provide military assistance if another member is attacked, just assistance “as deemed necessary,” which could mean something as mundane as sending medical supplies, for example. You can bet Putin knows this, and there is no way Trump would commit American troops to protect Europe if he had a way out. If Trump is elected you can forget about more funding for Ukraine, US military assistance to protect NATO members, or the US nuclear umbrella.
We went from putin screaming "Kyiv in THREE DAYS!" to russia being the joke of the world😂😂😂😂

Trump has other things on his mind. His criminal trials have his full attention right now. He may not have fought Mike Johnson on Ukraine at this time because he is worried about losing some of his property and maybe going to prison. With his trials and attempting to campaign that is about all he can handle right now. It does seem Trump has backed down. But that does not mean Trump has decided he is for Ukraine. Trump is 100% for Putin.

Unfortunately, he has made that perfectly clear, and his sheep have followed right down the drain.
You mean Trump is forced to attend court four days out of seven over some BS made up, manufactured out of desperation prosecution.
I hope the British will be able to manage Donald Trump if he becomes President again on foreign policy. NATO and the Five Eyes keep up safe and strong we need to keep these alliances strong. Just tell Trump he's doing a good job, increase your military spending in European countries, and try to make him understand these alliances are great assets to American and global security.
I guess you are somehow deluded...? The trump is clear in its fascist declarations and isolation promises, if I may, like the putin is in its imperialistic rhetoric and threats.

what I don't get about Trump wanting out of Nato because some countries aren't paying their fair share, there are red states that consume more federal tax money than they pay. those states need to be put on austerity programs or assets seized to pay for their overspending.

@@laurie9557 That is a misstatement. How do you know this? Are you a White House aide? What you probably meant was that Bolton says that Trump said that. there is a big difference between these two statements,. Now there have been so many lies told about Trump, beginning with the whole Russia hoax that it is difficult to know what to believe. Just this week for example the media cut and spliced a Trumo recording to accuse him of saying awful things about Hispanics when he was talking about one specific murderer. And as far as I know, he has never said publically that he wants to leave NATO. Trump has talked tough on NATO. And the Europeans who are not meeting their NATO obligations need some tough talking to. I would not believe this coming from the usual media character assassins. But Bolton is not one of the usual suspects. And his claim is concerning.

Trump is an EX-president of America or an American presidential candidate. Why does a British announcer call him President Trump? This is an all too common misnomer.
You don't call a former nor potential president be called President.

In the past I never liked Bolton as he was always so hawkish. But to my own surprise, nowadays I totally can stand behind his rational. Sometimes.
Can someone send a link of where and when Trump said he wanted to leave NATO???
Useful perspective as Ambassador Bolton has worked with Trump but has longer experience. Even without Trump, the US is becoming less involved in Europe. Trump would accelerate that process - perhaps a lot - although alliances are in fact very important for US security. I suspect that team Trump view alliances through the simple 'zero sum game' perspective of Trump's business experience. The value of alliances are deeper and more subtle than money calculations show. Europe finally seems to be waking up to the vital urgency of building up defences.

@@dennisweidner288 You mean the NATO guideline, not obligation. But, yes, Europe is just starting to improve the position.

We should keep the alliance but the freeloading should be over. If we did what we’ve done for Europe for anyone else they would be forever grateful. Marshall plan for Central America would drastically change life in the Americas.
Europe spends 200 billion a year on defense and they only have one enemy. The US spends 800 billion because Americans have made enemies all over the world. It’s not freeloading. In fact, a lot of what Europe spends buys Americans weapons. You should be grateful.

You do understand that the Marshall plan was not free but reimbursed with interest, isn't it? - Or you did just skip this part in your anti European narrative?

I love how whenever an interviewer asks John Bolton if Trump is doing something for carefully considered strategic or intelligence based reasons, Bolton basically says "No, that's not the way it works with Trump..." 🤣😂🤣
US is an empire because of their alliance with Europe - Europe can quickly build up serious military capability if needed and we continue expanding. A split would mean the end of USD as a world currency, which means bankruptcy for USA.
That will be good for Europe, we need to be independent, and have a good relationship with both the US and Russia. With the us out, we will have peace

USA Military Policy (initiated in 1905 by Theodore Rooseveldt) states : "speak softly and carry a big stick".. 1/ carry a big stick (overwhelming military capability) 2/ be kind (military & financial aid, good treatment of POW's and humane treatment of civilians) 3/ never bluff......(so far USA never have) 4/ strike only when prepared to strike hard (D Day, Atomic Bomb, and other decisive actions) 5/ allow the adversary to save face in defeat (Marshal Plan and many many other loans and Investments) 1905 to present: .............USA becomes top dog.....
As an Englishman, I am more than tired of Trump. Words cannot express the way I feel about him.
No Trump we cant leave nato sir.
Always enjoy listening to Bolton (The only hawk I do listen to), since I'm an average left leaning Canadian.
FDJT HE'S CRA CRA!!!!! 🥚 BEFORE AND AFTER 🍳
John Bolton is a very smart intelligent savvy guy on matters of defense and world affairs, always interesting to listen to, and it's easy to agree with his sentiments.....if he was running as republican leader instead of whats-his-name, I think he would have broad support....maybe
Europe is tired about Mr. Trump too. Put him in jail
Just wait a few months and your dream will be answered.
@olavmartinkvam4184 Europe may be tired of Trump, but if they had listened to him about not becoming dependent on Russian energy and meeting their NATO obligations, they would be in a lot better shape today. I'm tired of Europe. When they stop expecting America to finance their defense, I'll be more interested in hearing from them. As for putting him in jail, using the courts to punish people you disagree with is a hallmark of a totalitarian state.
@@dennisweidner288 Europe has built the Nord Stream One (crude oil pipeline) in 2010 and was in operation at the end of 2011 while Trump was not in the political arena at the time. The Nord Stream two was built in 2018 and started its operation in 2021. Trump arrived in the political arena in 2016 and was and is still a "good body" of Putin. Not only did he not advised the EU not to build the second Nord Stream (natural gas pipeline), but was in favor of the project. He tried his best to implement several deals with Putin but was defeated by the Democrats to go ahead with his projects while some others involving the EU or one of its members have all been rejected. In a simple way to say it, the EU told him to mind his own business. This is why Trump hates Europe and most (not to say all) of its members.
@@AlexanderKorshinsky Frst of allNordstrem are natgas pipelines. Second Nordstream I was not an issue. Third the issue was Nordstream II. That was making Europe overdependent on the corrupt, aggressive Purin regime. Fourth, the issue for many Americans is Europeans not pulling their weight in the NATO alliance.
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND.
And we, the people, are tired of Trump - vote blue 💙 💙 💙
The world is sick of Trump and his mickey mouse following
There are circa, give or take the odd illegal , at least 370 million people in the USA at least half of which support President Trump so 185 million Mickey Mice
@billkingston4402 You may be tired, but I suggest you look at the polls. Half of America is not. In fact, Trump was right on most issues.
@@dennisweidner288yes he waves his hand and makes USA great again ha ha what a poor excuse two old men wanting the White House
@@robertlangley1664 Presiden Trump did not just wave his hands. He had many accomplishments. 1. EO protecting freedom of religion ending the persecution of the Little Sisters of the Poor and similar groups. 2. Turning military operations over to theater commanders greatly speeding up the fall of ISIS. 3. Enforcing Obama’s Red Line, stopping the slaughter of innocents in Syria. 4. Helping build a coalition of Muslim states, crucial to any successful anti-terror operations.-- the Abraham accords 5. EO’s allowing the completion of pipeline projects. 6. Pulling out of the Paris Accords and the Pacific trade deal. 7. A major improvement in NAFTA 8. Progress in getting our NATO allies to pay their fair share. 9. Warning the Europeans about becoming dependent on Russian energy. 10.. Significant reduction of illegal border crossings. 11. Actions deporting criminal illegal aliens (especially MS13) . Creation of a Commission to investigate voter fraud . 12. Ending the Obama war on the police . 13. Appointment of a Constitutionalist to the Supreme Court . 14. EO establish a temporary ban on immigration from terror states. 15. A focus on job creation rather than job-killing programs. Efforts like apprenticeship programs. 16. Stopping the EPA from using environmental excuses from pursuing progressive social policies. 17. Exposing the corruption of the mainline media and their fake news creation / 18. Promoting Congressional action against sanctuary cities and promoting Kate’s Law. (I suggest you look at New York and Chicago showing where Biden's reversal led.) 19. Stopping the Obama Administration's jihad against Israel. 20. Sending Federal help into Chicago to assist the local police against the gun rampage there.

You cannot judge a long-term partnership solely on the contributions every NATO member puts in because there so many other unnoticed investments vice-versa. EU is stepping up its contributions also to Ukraine!
Right on. That means Canada will follow like a little puppy. Go T.
Like him or loathe him David Cameron can only come out of this well.
True… Putin would love that
I thought Bolton had snùffed it. How disappointing.
UK has not paid its way in defence spending .
Let us sit and listen to John.
Tired of Europe? 👀 He needs to worry about going to Jail....
Great to see a GOP member that actually has a spine. I might not agree with everything, but at least he has some principles and isn't a DJT sycophant.
All the allegories and metaphors in drama Politics and Religion. Why? Who does it benefit? What is the Crime? What is it What dies he want? Who is the faction? Who will come to the rescue of the person who is discovered in corrupt advantage of his ill gotten crime
His business is a small family owned and operated corporation with dad in charge. His kids do what he says. He can't boss European nations or anyone in the real world around like he does his kids
Judging by the latest rumours about his diet, isn't Trump due a fatal heart attack?
We’re tired of Trump !!!
Maybe if this war causes a 1917 event for Russia, reforms might occur and make NATO unecessary.
Unfortunately, I agree with Bolton's assessment of Biden.
Or Trump would just hire back a national security adviser like Robert O'Brian, who is within the fold and will also push back on burden-sharing concerns as Trump prefers.
I am not tired...just sick of this "sicko"!
NATO needs to grow globally starting with Australia to ensure America!
Bolton talks out his behind.
Im on the left, but Bolton is right about Ukraine.
No queston that the US pays the most in NATO, but the US is also the largest benificiary ... All the inteligence information the US get from Europe, all the various inteligence apparateus and listning posts, all the bases in wich the US launch rather questionable wars from, not to mention all the money you earn from European countries buying US weapos, ofthen through rather questionable US competitions that undermines Europes own weapons industry. Tjrn you have all the investments that Europe does in the US and loans Europe gives the USA. The US has a lot of foreign debt.
No credit for the 45th over the Aid bill. He like MJ and all those that opposed and delayed, have Ukrainian blood on their hands.
❤he just blamed the entire issue on Biden but the only reason this is a stalemate is because we stopped supporting months ago because the GOP hardliners. Insane 😂
I thought Trump refused to meet Cameron?
His mustache. He he 💯❤️
Scrap NATO for all I care. They could have stopped the invasion of Ukraine by setting up a multinational NATO exercise in Ukraine before the invasion and Russia wouldn't have dared to touch that.
Cameron made Trump an offer he could not refuse 😉
which was ?
He offered his wife
@@nigelmorley5414 watch The Godfather and you'll get the joke 🙄
After reading through the comments here … beam me up Scotty
Yes, Trump seems to have a very short attention span on world problems.... unless the subject is him and how wonderful his leadership of America was, or immigration from South America perhaps or how unfair the world is to him and so many lies are told about him.
Trump sees money as his not any one else, America spends a lot on defence Trump would want that in his pocket and his rich friends. But not the people.
I Wish, Some One 1/2 Biden 1/2 Trump Would be Candidate. A Growing 55% of Usa Says Same thing... !!
Then you will be on your own America. Remember 9-11 and how many NATO countries stepped up for the USA. It’s not JUST about armament.
I like Tic Tak
This is not true
👍👍👍
If Trump did that it would considerably reinforce this horrible China we have. An immensely bad decision.
Then we are going to be “tired” of you Mr. Trump ! Sorry !
John Bolton stays relevent by talking about Trump. Why dont you run for office John and show us how to run things right.
The headline is misleading. Ambassador Bolton did NOT say that. He simply said that in his view, President Trump does not see any advantage to the United States in being in NATO, and sees it as a one-sided "deal" as the United States does not "need" NATO if it chooses to defend Europe. Ambassador Bolton's opinion is much more nuanced than the headline suggests.
Make no mistake, Trump will kowtow to Putin and try to pull the US out of NATO. It's not about getting NATO countries to contribute more to their own defense. The truth to that lie was the executive orders Trump had drawn up in his lame duck period to pull US troops out of Europe.
@terryfox9344 Correct. Trump has never said he wants to leave NATO. I like Bolton, but I suspect personal issues are involved here because he got fired.
@@dennisweidner288 Trump had an executive order drawn up in his lame duck period to remove all US troops out of Europe. That puts the truth to the lie.
Trump couldn’t find Europe on a map! It is insane that Trump is even in the American conversation.
Mr Bolton has been and is biased. Tell us how well the current administration (not the person occasionally sitting in the office) has served it's country and allies.
Better yet Europe living Trump
Guess what, we're tired of Trump.
More like Putin is tired of Europ.
EuroMoochers......
Melania Trump is Slovenian, part of the old Yugoslavia. rusky battled them in the 80's, and Lost. Trump SHOULD KNOW the European rusky Hazzard !! dahh...
America has done it's duty by Europe.Its time for Europe to defend Europe.
@simone-zt6jj Europe has been keeping Ukraine afloat. If we are going to abandon Ukraine, we should not have helped them to begin with. The fact is the Ukranisnms are fighting our fight.
Curiously, America didn't think the same during its time in Afghanistan. European help was readily accepted.
Another simpleton that forgot who assisted the yanks after 911.
Okay ... then it is time for america to lose its power, wealth and empire i guess. If america is done so is europe with the american shenanigans.
Well if Trump wants US to leave NATO then UK should confiscate his golf courses in Scotland and turn them into military bases Plowing up Turnberry should get his attention
