German Lawmaker Brands NATO ‘Security Risk for The World’

[PJL]

"Over recent days, as NATO celebrates its 70th anniversary, Germany has taken flak from US President Donald Trump and his Vice President Mike Pence for missing a 2 percent spending target of gross domestic product (GDP) on defence. However, in Germany, not only the increase of spending but the alliance’s very existence is seen critically."........."“Especially over the last 20 years, NATO has shown its true face, starting with the war of aggression against Yugoslavia in violation of international law or the almost equally long-lasting war in Afghanistan and numerous other foreign missions that claimed countless victims. It is always solely about maintaining and securing resources”, he stated."..............https://sputniknews.com/europe/20190...o-dissolution/

Da. Comrade. Yet another propaganda piece from the Soviet Apparatchik.

From the article: "Member of the German Parliament, the Bundestag, Alexander Neu, representing the left-wing party Die Linke, has lambasted NATO as an outdated organisation during a summit, celebrating the alliance’s 70th anniversary. "

Now, let's talk about this great reliable source: Die Linke: is the anti-capitalist, anti-militarist, anti-American Democrat Socialist party in Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Left_(Germany) It is the party's platform to replace NATO with a security arrangement that includes Russia.

C'mon man. Democrat Socialist.. . . . . Democrat Socialist Germany. . . . . . Where have I heard that before?

Propaganda yes. From the Soviets (who really don't exist anymore) no. The very wars that the German spoke of were religious wars involving muslims.

Which indicates that Germany is being submerged by Islam into a wholly Islamic state.

Okay.

I'm totally down with the US withdrawing from NATO and letting the Euro-weenies defend themselves for a change. Considering that all those socialist countries have, for decades now, been surrendering themselves to the invasion of terrorists, I see no reason why the US should even pretend to care about them when they themselves so obviously want to die.

Russian propoganda is alive and well.

Russian propoganda is alive and well.

The link I provided contains actual quotes from an elected member of the German government speaking at the NATO 70th anniversary gathering.....therefore it is not propaganda it is fact.

The fact that you dislike the policies of the German Die Linke party is not important . They are a current German party , and their popularity is growing. The link provided is a factual report from the NATO gathering - it is not an opinion nor is it propaganda.

[PJL]

I doubt that there is any genuine dislike of America in Europe , but there a decline in US influence upon Europe. La Pen in France , Conte in Italy , Wilders in The Netherlans and Kurtz in Austria all favour lifting sanctions and increasing trade with Russia. The European people are demanding that their governments make decisions based on economic grounds , rather than geopolitical grounds. Thats democracy.

How could an international, poorly effective war machine be seen as a risk to world security? I mean what are those Germans thinking?
