Trump is absolutely right to call out @NATO allies for not meeting their 2% of GDP defence $ commitment

ESPECIALLY Germany

THREAD
Here is what Germany/Merkel signed up to at the 2014 NATO summit in Wales: nato.int/cps/ic/natohq/…

* Halt any decline in defence $
* Increase $ with GDP growth
* Get to 2% by 2024 at the latest

Virtually all lefty think tank and talking heads obfuscate these 3 key commitments
What have Germany and MERKEL done since then?

If you answered: *literally nothing*, congratulations

Since 2014 German defence spending is static at 1.2%: sipri.org/sites/default/…

And without rounding up, it's actually DECLINED in the last year to 1.12%: m.dw.com/en/german-defe…
Of course now MERKEL wants a do-over. Forget the Crimea/Russian threat, and the previous 2% commitment by 2024, can we "aim" to do 1.5% by 2025? mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
🇩🇪OLD AND BUSTED: Firm commitment to halt spending declines & gradually increase defence spending by 75% (1.2% > 2.0%) by 2024

🇩🇪NEW HOTNESS: Decline in spending after Wales, plus a vague new "aim" to only increase defence spending by ~34% (1.12% > 1.5%) by 2025

#NATOSummit
This is completely unacceptable & as Germany effectively runs the entire EU, many other European nations follow its lead

In this case, from behind

Trump is right to call it out and shame on pundits for trying to spin this as anti-NATO & ignoring MERKEL breaking her word

"I don't think editors and bosses were trying to tank [BK's] nomination" —@brianstelter

Okay, who at the WaPo green lit putting a blatantly anti-Kavanaugh activist reporter on a "throwing ice" story?

The WaPo editorial page itself opposed his nomination too. Who writes that? 🤔
Who at @CNN allowed Josh Campbell (ex FBI close to Comey) to "interview" Monica McLean (also ex FBI) to get a narrative out there without any disclosure of that fact?

At least when @JamesAGagliano voucher for McLean he fully disclosed his past working with her
Who at @NBCNews allowed a piece to attack "white women" for the BK confirmation?

"Economist @paulkrugman Says GDP Won't Grow by 3%"

Krugman said this in Mar 2017. Let's revisit it with the Sep 2018 job numbers
VIDEO:
bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
“We’re pretty close to full employment” @paulkrugman

Unemployment:
—THEN: 4.5% in March 2017 when this statement was made
—NOW: 3.7% in Sep 2018

That 0.8% difference is equivalent to 2,898,000 million more people employed

If Monica McLean is the "lifelong best friend" of Dr. Ford, and McLean hasn't submitted a sworn statement to the Senate supporting Ford's story...

...That means Dr. Ford knew a 24yr veteran of the FBI/DOJ and didn't ever confide in *her* about Kavanaugh?

🤔
But she did discuss it with unspecified "beach friends" and mentioned her alleged assault by a federal judge to several other friends out of the clear blue. Got it
Oh

"Keyser's attorney...confirmed that his client has spoken with the FBI and that when she did so she could not corroborate Ford's account...she [doubled down], denied all knowledge of the supposed party, the alleged assault OR OF KAVANAUGH"

"Injury forced [Keyser] to step down from her role as a golf coach at Georgetown University [and] have plagued her for years.

'Leland is not a well woman. She has had years of injuries that have seen her have 14 operations on her neck and back. She just wants to get better.'"
'It really felt a lot like Christine was the one called to the principal's office to give an account of something and just threw her under the bus. You know, just reached for a name.'

Number of times Dr. Ford has changed her story:

—when it happened: 5X
—who was there: 5X
—where it was: 2X (at least)

And after all those changes?
