Trump says Macron "very insulting" over defence comments
Monday, 12 November 2018
President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the U.S., China and Russia. Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly!

This is the EU & Jean Claude Junckers' spokesperson Mina Andreeva who tells us she speaks for #TeamJunckerEU
And here is Juncker's astonishing claim - that Europe and the EU alone have made the "unique" achievement of peace.
My God. What utter bullshit.
Europe would be a part of the Soviet Union or Russia today were it not for NATO.
What of the atom bombs deployed by the US facing off the Soviets?
What of NATO's role in keeping Europe safe? To say nothing of US entry into World War Two and its important role in defeating the Third Reich and Tojo?
The Euro-elite is living in fantasy land. Good on President Trump for sticking it up them.
