Germans have been demanding this forever, and Trump finally delivered. Of course the US media is casting this as a "costly mistake" but don't bother to ask Germany what it thinks.

USA out of NATO!

Trump is a retarded fucknugget but it's weird that we're not celebrating lowering military costs and pointless overseas bases. Yeah it costs more now to move things around but it'll lower costs in the long run. We should be bringing isolationism back on the table.

Trump bumped up the total military costs by hundreds of millions we are nearly in the Trillions.
