Trump handed Merkel a bill

Recommended Posts

There is a tall list of shit from which to criticize Trump on but this isn't one of them. Germany needs to fulfill its treaty obligation to NATO and deserves to be called out on it.

The same goes for several other NATO members who are not adhering to their obligations.

If we used our space program correctly and increased our basic research grants those same people could be enriched and the rest of us wouldn't have to die and would have a better standard of living.

Massive money to be made by mining the moon for He-3 to use in next generation nuclear reactors.  Massive money to be made by mining asteroids.  Dominating low earth orbit with a weapons system that can launch out to grab rocks to use for kinetic bombardment or even fire tungsten rods would be worth more than every aircraft carrier ever made or that will be made.

You will hear people say that they are on path to get there by the time 2024 rolls around.  That is cheap talk and their actions suggest otherwise.  This article show how unlikely it is unless parties like the CDU lose a bulk of their power.
