SELLING WWIII: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea Planning ‘Long-Term Confrontation,’ NATO Head Warns
HYPOCRISY: NATO ramps up its militaries and sell fear to the public
Mark Rutte, the NATO head known as the “Trump Whisperer,” continues to sell WWIII, and, while his alliance pumps historic amounts of money into their militaries, he also tries to justify the spending because of Russia has “teamed up with China, North Korea, and Iran” to ramp up their militaries.
“They are preparing for long-term confrontation,” he said.
TRENDPOST: Hypocrisy in the West knows no bounds.
Rutte made the comments just as NATO countries pump billions of dollars into their militaries and gave Ukraine approval to use their weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia.
Last month, Marco Rubio, the little clown neocon warmonger playing the role of the U.S.’s Secretary of State, said the U.S. is on the path to spending significantly more on its military.
Rubio was asked about the U.S. push to get NATO countries to spend 5 percent of their GDP on defense.
Rubio said he understood that the target may not be reached quickly, but the administration believes “that’s what NATO allies need to be spending for NATO to face the threats that itself has identified and articulated.”
The Associated Press report said Rubio was asked if the U.S. would match the 5 percent goal, and he said, “Sure. We’re heading there now.”
(If the U.S. spent 5 percent of its GDP on its military, it would be $1.44 trillion a year.)
More Trump Bullshit
Trump said in February that he would eventually like to see the Pentagon’s budget cut in half and believes that it could be achieved if he can convince Russia and China to agree to cut their spending, too.
Trump admitted that these conversations may have to wait for things to “settle down.”
Trump said he planned to meet with the Russian and Chinese leaders to discuss the initiative.
He said his argument will be that there is “no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillion on the military… and I’m going to say we can spend this on other things.”
Trump says one thing and does the other. Now, he’s rushing to create a Golden Dome to defend the U.S. from missile and drone attacks that will only spark more of an arms race with no end in sight.
On 7 January, weeks before U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn in, he told a press briefing that NATO countries were not paying their fair share and floated the idea that Washington would not abide by its treaty obligations if these allies did not pump up their military spending.
