No. You can dig up the law referencing the tax that you think Trump repealed.
Unless you think somehow you were the only one to have to pay this tax, surely someone else knows about it.
Please use the quote function. It makes it a lot easier to understand these conversations,.
Please use the quote function. Iām not sure which of my posts you are responding to.
If itās the one in which I ask you to be quite clear what it is you do with NATO, why go defensive all of a sudden? Why not just say specifically what you do, in order to back up your claim that you know the ins-and-outs of how NATO works.
Until you provide such proof, the more apparent fact that you clearly donāt know how NATO works casts a shadow over all your unsubstantiated claims.
Ahhh the trillion dollar question. Because it enriches banks and contractors.
Proof? Like the names of the NATO country officers and civil servants I have had DIRECT dealings with? You are trying to imply that there is some organizational level threshold above which direct contact with NATO is possible and below which direct contact does not occur. Thatās the tip-off to me that you are flailing. Like in most organizational relationships, Captains talk to Captains, engineers talk to engineers, managers talk to managers. Iāve been all three. I had some contact with people from SHAPE but if you are trying to suggest that anything less than contact with the top tier of NATO makes oneās credibility in this matter suspect, then you obviously have no clue. Furthermore, at all levels, when working with NATO information, one must be NATO briefed. After 40 years (on and off) of that you learn something about the relationshipā¦ especially when you also have relationships with non-NATO country counterparts to use as a comparison.
Add to that the common knowledge information that I provided earlier and you will (or should) conclude that you too should just stop with the challenge. NATO had a purpose at one time. Now it is neither necessary nor sufficient for any US national security needs. Whatever we need from any other country- or even from a NATO san US - can be negotiated without the US being a member.
Thinking that dealing with countries individually is the easier method is I know standard Trumpian logic, but it is entirely unfounded.
Who said easier? YOU. WHY? Is that argument EASIER for you to refute?
Try ā¦ less expensive. And now you can add that the mutual interests of the nations have fallen considerably to the point where the EU nations of NATO are working against our best interests economically and culturally.
Itās none of theseā¦not easier nor cheaper nor does it work against our strategic interests.
So youāve done your analysis. Please share. Show your work and your assumptions.
I wonder if libs know that Trump and Putin are meeting in Helsinki.
Hopefully Putin goes easy on him given you diagnosed him with mental illness.
You donāt need to go easy on someone with BPD.
So if you listen to Libsā¦ Finland has no defense agreements with the countries that are NATO members since FINLAND IS NOT A MEMBER.
LIBSā¦What sophomoric wannabees.
Sure you do. You said yourself, they need āreasonable accommodationsā. Iām hopeful Putin provides such accommodations given his incurable affliction.
They need reasonable accommodations from their employer. Thatās us.
But Putin might find that pushing Trumpās buttons wonāt end well for himā¦ not like pushing THIS button.
Actually BPD makes you prone to manipulation.
Our reasonable accomodation should be to keep Trump away from manipulators.
Some might. But they have their own psychological weaponry too.
Mostly temper tantrums.
It is called ārageā.
You have experience with such people?
Trump also seems to have to have āback upā girlfriendsā¦ another indicator. They fear abandonment.
Why not answer a direct question directly?
Are you an engineer? Or were you in a management position?
And, just out of curiosity - what company(s) did you work for that had such contact with NATO?
