I am really tired of listening to Marco Rubio praising Trump for getting Europe to spend 5 percent of GDP on defence.
No country is spending more on defence to please Trump. We are spending more, because we are alone in the war with Putin. We are spending more, so we can lead the world, now that Trump has put the US in the back seat.
We could have finished Putin together, and the world would have been safer and wealthier. But instead Trump wanted a war with Venezuela. That is how dumb this is.

"Trump's fossil fuel donors want a world war, in hopes it'll preserve their increasingly worthless assets.
They fear a future freed of their control."
