British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon intends to turn to NATO allies on Monday to increase military spending, reports RIA News Post Daily Telegraph.


Media: The head of the Ministry of Defense of Britain intends to urge NATO countries to increase military spending


A military source of the newspaper clarified that “an impulse to Britain’s attempts to persuade other EU countries to spend more on defense” will add the election of Donald Trump.

“The Americans used to say that they would put up with it and continue to contribute more than other NATO members. If the new administration says that you need to be on your guard, it will make you wonder. On the other side of the coin, Europe also faces big security challenges, ” Said the interlocutor.

Earlier, Trump said that America pays for NATO membership far more than all other members of the organization. And this situation, he said, should be changed.

    Today, a drunken man called Trump all night. He swore allegiance, then threatened, then complained that they did not give some kind of visa-free travel, he asked me to write everything down! Then he asked for money and snored into the phone.

            Yes it means, and also how it means! This we all went through in the last century. Learned the information war !? It can be said with a stretch. At least they learned something and it’s good. It would be better if we learned how to develop the economy and provide a decent standard of living for the population of the Russian Federation. hi

            .Violence Being Arranged for Trump Inauguration: Group Openly Recruiting for "No Peaceful Transition"

            Using propaganda videos packed into blatant lies, radical leftists are already calling for rebellion and recruiting people to forcibly disrupt the president’s inauguration on January 20.

            Propaganda and campaigning in full. Everything is packed with such incredible misinformation that only a stupid person dressed in the right uniform is able to take what he has heard seriously.

            Alas, unfortunately in the USA there are at least 60 million mentally deprived and absolutely stupid. These are ignorant stupid people. They voted for Hillary Clinton!

            With such a significant array of useful idiots, efforts to recruit the toughest of them will likely be successful.

            We already see this stupid rabble on the streets of US cities, where riots began. They will not stop. Basically, what we have here is a loser throw tantrum. They all lost. Their ideas, policies, and beliefs were rejected.
            Now the Americans have a real chance to be in the shoes of the Ukrainians and to sip chaos and "democracy" with a full scoop. Vikusya Nuland is probably already busy in the kitchen, baking cookies, a female dog.
            Finches I imagined there are three forks, a fence to the fence, somewhere in Bataisk - Yanukovych, Poroshenko, Trump ...

            What to do

            You don't have to do anything special. Everything has already been done - the small mongrels and the "dance group" have derailed the European locomotive.
            And the refugees added.
            For example, a demographically dying Germany has already received a surge in fertility.
            Local Germans give birth to colored ones. And they are already considered Germans.
            Refugees also give birth in large numbers, just to cling to Germany and drive them already a big problem.
            Hooliganism, rape, robbery - a way to serve time in a comfortable prison.
            Europe is at a loss. Doesn't know what to do. Either attack Russia, or defend against refugees.

    And let them increase the military budget — at least 15 percent from GDP — so that all these NATO mongrels fall apart faster and fall apart. The worse they have, the better for us. But the West lived by this principle, and we also need to follow it.

      Well, they don’t need 15%, and they can raise up to 3% of GDP without much damage to the standard of living of their citizens. With a combined GDP of $ 20 trillion, this could be a very serious amount.

        Aron, you know that Europe and NATO are not homogeneous, for Germany, England, Canada 3% is not fatal, but tangible, but for all the Baltic states and others Romania and Bulgaria there it is a serious blow and if Trump fulfills his election the promise not to finance all of NATO for all its members, then excuse my colleague, the same Germany and England could blow up dragging all the NATO and European rubbish. In general, it’s kind of violet how much they spend, at least all 100% of GDP. With respect to my colleague. hi

        The military budget must meet the challenges of today. For small states, where a third of the budget is filled with structural assistance from the EU, 3% is an unbearable figure. For you understand that servicing this budget itself is not a debit expenditure figure, which means that real costs are doubled. This means that these expenses are not returned to the budget in the form of taxes. That means that to stay afloat will have to raise taxes. Already today, the EU's tax burden is turning the entire middle class into debtors, and all that is lower, into slaves. Of course, the state machine is too complex a mechanism to spoil it with a stupid decision, but the decisions discussed act as a trigger, switching functions that smoothly change the quality of life for decades to come. For example, Greece through such decisions has become a beggar forever. Beggar and addicted.

          The military budget is always a burden for any country. And for Russia as well. If Europe is seriously involved in the arms race, this will strain Russia first of all. And who has burst the economy before is unknown. So I would not be happy about Trump's pressure on Europe.

    The Soviet Union had a major donor - Russia. Belarus, Kazakhstan and partially Ukraine (due to the eastern regions) were in a slight plus. Other republics - BALLAST.
    After the collapse of the USSR, Russia received an impetus for development.
    In NATO, the main donor is the United States (70% of the costs). Most of the remaining NATO members are outspoken BALLAST.
    There is no big problem for the USA to leave NATO and resolve its issues independently.
    The EU is then forced to create its own army. These expenses are sooooooooo ... And again, at the expense of donors - England, Germany, France. The rest is BALLAST.
    So soon kapets NATO and the European Union.

    Earlier, Trump said that America pays for NATO membership far more than all other members of the organization. And this situation, he said, should be changed.

    The free cheese is over. Dry the oars. Go to Yukola, but the savings on the stomach will turn out and the figures are slimmer.

    Interestingly. That all of the NATO army is working on waste products. Who is going to attack them? Is it really a tribe tumbu-yumbu-makatungu.

    and this is good. let them cut their budgets for the maintenance of NATO. there won’t be much use for this (it’s enough to look at participation in various warships), and tension within countries will increase. maybe then they will stick their nose to other countries less.

    The increase in military spending, this does not mean anything ..

    -------------------------------------
    Well, how does that not mean? It was a call from the banking-globalist Jewish kagal to begin preparations for war. Our old friend Schwarz-Soros drowns riots in Oregon beyond Clinton. Mogherini asked Trump to determine the EU and NATO policies, that is, Mr. Trump, do you drown with Jewish bankers for the war or not? You do not underestimate the value of military spending. Everything is very serious as ever. The Zionists held high their chicken head, which they consider an eagle.

    Guys ! Read carefully - he " intends to call on NATO countries ", has not called anyone yet. Maybe he is already praying under the pillow .. wink And he only dreams of it, after the victory of Trump Pam.

    Do you want to troll? Of course, an increase in military spending is a call for new cuts, apparently so. What is it or nothing, not for you to judge. And there is no alarmism. The globalists are now fast with wars. And in what language I speak, it would be time for you to know, since you read my comments. I sometimes speak in jargon.

    “Previously, Americans said they would put up with this and continue to contribute more than other NATO members. If the new administration says that you need to be on your guard, this will make you think. On the other hand, coins - Europe also faces big security challenges. ”

    Europe’s security does not lie in the wake of aggravating relations with Russia, which is not a threat to it. The threat to Europe comes from the United States, from NATO, which is completely controlled by the United States. With numerous bases around the world and many in Europe, the United States can start crazy military operations without NATO. NATO is a kind of, as it were, democratic body for covering the US plans and nothing more. And Euro-armies will be forced to participate in their bacchanalia, which we see today. Europe needs to fear the US military, not the Russian Armed Forces. But so far, such a confrontation with the Russian Federation is personally beneficial to Eurogenerals. With a reduction in NATO funding from the United States and shifting this additional load on the inhabitants of Europe, confusion will go. This is what the Eurogenerals are afraid of - their personal wallet can lose weight, but they can also resign as unnecessary! hi

    Today, a drunken man called Trump all night. He swore allegiance, then threatened, then complained that they did not give some kind of visa-free travel, he asked me to write everything down! Then he asked for money and snored into the phone.


    Vllr ..., mmrrr ... damn, how are you? You, this, do not drive the blizzard. I usually poured myself, like vss ... always in general. I don’t remember who I called. Although it is ... like him, but better than that, no nada. No, no nida. Odd, damn it!
