Eric Margolis: Trump is Right - Junk Obsolete NATO - lewrockwell.com
Excerpt from this article:
"The US subsidizes about 73% of NATO’s total military, economic and
social costs. NATO’s European members pay only about 1% of their gross
national product....The US has garrisoned and directed Western Europe’s military affairs
since 1945 – and today, Eastern Europe as well...American politicians, Trump included, like to accuse Europe of 'not
carrying their rightful defense burden.' What they really mean is that
Europe is not paying enough to support the American Imperium. The US is
not in Europe and Asia for humanitarian reasons; they form the two key
spheres of US world power....No one in the US has dared question this post-war imperial status quo
until the bulldozing Mr. Trump. Small wonder he is so hated and
vilified. Trump directly threatens America’s military-industrial-Wall
Street complex and its role as a world hegemon. Trump questions carte
blanche for Israel, and America’s entire system of government which has
been profoundly corrupted by oceans of money. Trump is not owned by anyone. That is practically un-American. In the
US, politics are a business by another name. One fears that heretic
Trump will be burned at the stake by the powers that be."
