Trump Turns Our Military Into Mercenaries

Video starts at 12:41

“We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia—I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1B in the bank.”

I think he believes he gets to keep that blood money from Saudi Arabia.

As for his South Korea claim....there is no agreement for them to pay a dime next year, because Trump could only negotiate a 1 year extension to the 5 year payment plan Obama negotiated. Contrary to Trump's ignorant lies, for >3 decades the cost sharing agreement has been negotiated on a 5 year basis with S. Korea paying the U.S. yearly, but Trump has been incapable of negotiating and today there's no payment agreement at all. Only 4% of South Koreans support paying what Trump's demanding, making his current near $5 billion demand (a 400%+ increase from last year) a clear deal killer....which might end our cooperative agreement with another ally.
Japan's cost sharing agreement is up for renegotiation next year, expect the same level of absolute failure in those negotiations and the loss of another ally and the loss of more US influence in the Pacific.

*promote exposing the ridiculously easily debunked lies being used to hide the total failure to negotiate successfully.

More like selling ass, like he thinks he's a pimp and America is his bottom bitch. He's ok with any degradation of our nation if it makes money. He's incapable of measuring by or even comprehending any other metric.

Speaking of money, how's the deficit? How about the national debt? How much has he increased spending on rehabbing U.S. infrastructure? Where's my (much lower) tax bill on a 3x5" card?
What's the state of our union? It's looking fragile and tattered, so much that his cultists threaten to go to war with America if he's removed, even by losing the election. These are a few ways he's kicking ass for our enemies while abandoning or attacking multiple allies, weakening the U.S. further.

Another red tsunami 2020....just like the last two you predicted when republicans polled much higher and Trump hadn't recently admitted to stealing millions from veterans under oath. Can't wait.

Unfortunately, he's only completely wrong about the first part of his post. Less Santa, more the boogie-man gets replaced by that weird old guy down the block that didn't report he was moving into the neighborhood like the sex predator laws demand.

I like your enthusiasm.

Much like myself when I believed in Santa Claus.

So cute.

So you are saying that Obama is the one who turned our military into mercenaries?

I bet you could get FOX news to run with that story.

No. Do you think Obama was the one starting payment agreements 30+ years ago? I think that would be Bush or Regan. Obama didn't end the practice of negotiating payments for military support, but he certainly didn't start it.

What we've done in Korea and Japan (and elsewhere) after fighting wars on their shores has no resemblance to how Trump is renting our military to Saudi Arabia.

What I'm saying is Trump has bastardized our process of asking allies to help fund our military actions in their countries that also benefit them into a process of asking non-allies (including the country who spawned and funded the worst terrorist attack on the U.S. and viciously murdered an American citizen recently, edit: and committed a terrorist attack in Florida this month, with 21 more Saudis being deported from the same military training program he was in for not only posting jihadist anti American material but also child porn not caught by the current vetting process) if they want to rent our military for their military actions, actions that don't align with our foreign policy and make us new enemies. FAUX won't touch that story.

newtboysays...

Do you really not understand the difference between making allies pay for some of the protection we provide in the interest of the United State's national security and renting the military for cash to murderous and terroristic regimes?

Also, Obama did do this, making allies pay for our protection, successfully, just as his predecessors did with 5 year plans going back at least to the 80's. Trump has been incapable of negotiating and simply demanded a 400% increase this year so there is no payment agreement right now. *facepalm

Ive been around long enough taht you can look through my actual comments on this very site to see exactly what i'd say if obama did something like this and I've got news for you, the thing you're saying right now, it's simply not true.

I don't freak out about obama eating mustard.

I don't freak out about trump eating mustard.

I don't like when obama uses drone strikes.

I don't like when trump uses drone strikes.
