It is objectively true that Donald Trump has misrepresented repeatedly the nature of the NATO alliance, when he says that they “don’t pay their bills,” “dues,” “NATO fees,” or that they “owe us a tremendous amount of money.” That’s not how NATO or any other alliance works, and the fact checkers are right on that account. But Trump’s overall point - that NATO is a one-way alliance with the United States pulling all the weight, while the rest of NATO members hide under our security umbrella and ride our coattails - is also a mathematically testable claim.
When these claims are tested, we discover that most of Europe doesn’t give a singular fuck about Ukraine and that non-US NATO members are collectively a trillion dollars in the hole on their NATO spending obligations. Europe is in a predicament of their own making, and is lashing out at the United States like children refusing to eat their vegetables.
Let’s crack our knuckles and visualize some data.

Well, like any government, NATO is just another Ponzi scheme laundering trillions of various taxpayer's money.
I knew this time was coming. That is, the money laundering and Ponzi scheme would get so bad, it could no longer be hidden by the media. Everyone who benefits from the scheme is desperately trying to drag it along a little further so they can get, what they consider, their slice.
Fuck everyone of you parasites. I'm looking forward to the entire world wide scheme totally collapsing. Yea, I may get hurt, but I'm ok with that. This needs to end.
