Europe Can't Defend Itself Without USA

 Trump has been doing a great job in getting NATO members to pony up or shut up.  I'm reminded of my high school economics class that introduced me to the concept of "guns or butter".  The simple idea is that every economy has to decide how much of their treasure they will spend on buying things that they want vs buying things they need to defend themselves.  

For too long America has been spending trillions on building our military to defend the free world while the Europeans spend their money on social services and rely on America to keep their enemies at bay.

Today we read that the Dutch prime minister, who is also the NATO chief, is saying that Europe can't defend themselves without America.

Europe cannot defend itself without the United States, says Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte - and he promises to continue praising President Donald Trump.

"He does a lot of good things. I will defend him now and then this afternoon just to annoy you," the NATO chief said of Trump during a committee appearance at the European Parliament.

Rutte thanks Trump for getting NATO countries to spend more on their defense. He also emphasizes the continued great importance of the United States.

"If anyone here believes that the EU and Europe can defend itself without the US, keep dreaming! Because we can't," the NATO chief said.

At the same time, he urges members of parliament to continue working on "military mobility" to facilitate border crossings, roads and bridges.

"It is extremely important that the bridges can not only carry my Saab - it is 20 years old now - but also a tank," Rutte said in Brussels.

How many of the MSM outlets will report this?  I'm guessing many of you haven't seen this because the MSM seems only concerned with headlines that denigrate Trump while ignoring any positive news about the good things he is doing.
