Hillary Clinton claims Trump would pull US out of NATO
[Washington Examiner] Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that former President Donald Trump would seek to pull the United States out of its NATO alliance if he wins the 2024 presidential election.

Clinton, a Democrat who unsuccessfully ran against Trump during his first presidential bid in 2016, said that a Trump reelection would spell disaster for the 31-member military alliance. Clinton made the remarks during a Saturday luncheon at the Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of world leaders in Germany.

"He will do everything he can to become an absolute authoritarian leader if given the opportunity to do so," she said, according to NBC News. "And he will pull us out of NATO even though the Congress passed a resolution saying that he couldn’t without congressional support, because he will just not fund our obligations."

Clinton spoke of a "long struggle" ahead of the November election and said that voters should take what Trump says "literally and seriously."

"He means what he says," the former first lady said. "People did not take him literally and seriously in 2016. Now he is telling us what he intends to do, and people who try to wish it away, brush it away, are living in an alternative reality."

Clinton, who served from 2009 to 2013 as former President Barack Obama’s first secretary of state, made the remarks in the wake of Trump telling attendees of a political rally that as president
...back in 2019, I believe...
he warned NATO allies that he "would encourage" Russia "to do whatever the hell they want" if they were delinquent on their financial commitments to the alliance.

"You don’t pay your bills; you get no protection. It’s very simple," Trump said during a rally in South Carolina.

#3 When Bill and Hillary first ran for governor of Ark. they first came to a college at my university for volunteers to help. The college started out far left in the Vietnam war but by the time she and bill came for free help they were down to nuts, drug addicts and LGBQ nothing else. (so idiots and gay idiots ) ... That's been their core since day 1.

#4 
The NATO has 31 nations and the EU has 37.

22 nations are members of both NATO/EU.

So can't they take care of themselves and save US Taxpayers and butt load of money? Thus keeping the soon to be needed military and equip here to defend the USA Borders when Trump takes Office?

PLUS
There is the growing Muslim population of and political control of EU Member Nations? Which in itself will generate a Major Internal Security conflict.


BTW: A more current Hillary Photo

#11 Nevermind the switch from a defensive to offensive posture (say what you will with War on Terror, it was at least framed as a defensive mission), that pre-emptive nuclear strikes was even given the time of day?

OK.

#12 Hillary testing the waters again? You know she wants to run again. That lust for power never leaves some people. Part of me thinks it would be funny. But then, she's just as ugly as ever and it would be disgusting.

#13 Hillary is a possibility for the campaign switch if Michelle isn’t up for the grind of kissing up to people.
