Mis-reporting including the BBC. Most stories ran Macron saying the army was to protect against various including usa. Your link suggests he was only talking about cyber threats.

I'm not sure waiting until you're 8,000 miles away before daring to say anything counts

 

 

 

Hmmm, let me think, maybe because Trump has spent the last year telling them they're going to be on their own in future

 

As usual, Trumps short sightedness is the catylist that creates the problem in the first place

 

I think the US has been saying they are going to have to put more money into the NATO pot.

[glennpickard 10]

I am not sure there is a "Pot" per se.

I believe the agreement was that all NATO countries would spend 2% of their GNP on defence spending, ie. that could be utilised for NATO defence. This could be in the form of weapons, armed forces personnel, R & D, infrastructure etc with the intention the spending is to be for NATO group defence purposes. The UK meets this criteria but many other countries don't, including Germany.

Trumps complaint is that "If you want to play, you have got to pay," and this is one of the very few things I agree with him on

In the latest installment of 'How catastrophically stupid can a President be?' Trump talks some total BS about forest fires - "You gotta take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forest, very important... I was with the President of Finland... he called it a forest nation and they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things and they don't have any problem."

 

Nothing to do with a totally different climate then you total moron?

 A  White House spokesperson said this evening that Mr Trump has had 2 really good night's sleep while Sheffield Forum was closed down. He is now refreshed and waiting to batten down the hatches from tonight onwards. Lol

 Trump was just suspicious about the Finnish president saying that the forests were kept clean by reindeers grazing, so he used poetic license to save the guy from embarrassment.?

Hmmm, doesn't seem to have worked.

Of course, the forests aren't the issue, it's primarily scrubland that is most prone to starting fires... oh dear

Trump looks like a fool yet again

 Well you don't start fires with a tree trunk, do you? Of course, scrubland and dry fallen branches are starting hot spots for fires in heavily forested areas.  However, most are usually started by humans( campfires, tire blowouts, arson etc)  plus aggravated dry weather and high wind changes. Anyway when it starts,dry scrub grass and fallen branches are the kindling.
