NATO Is A Paper Tiger, Putin Does Not Fear Us - Trump Says (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 9:19am On Apr 09
🇺🇸 Donald Trump's remarks came ahead of a visit by the defense alliance's chief Mark Rutte scheduled for later this week.

"Look, we went to NATO," Trump recalled. "I didn't ask very strongly, I just said, 'Hey, if you want to help, great.'"

"'No, no, no we will not help,'" Trump said he was told, while not saying who he spoke to.

Trump went on to say that NATO members had "actually gone out of their way not to help."

The alliance, Trump said, "is a paper tiger," that Russian President Vladimir "Putin's not afraid of."

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who Trump called "a great person," is expected in Washington this week.

On Wednesday he will hold talks with Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Alliance said Friday.

The remarks mark the latest dust-up between Trump and the alliance.

Trump has made no secret of his desire to annex Greenland -- controlled by NATO ally Denmark -- which has been strongly resisted by the alliance.

Discussing his displeasure with NATO, Trump said: "It all began with -- if you want to know the truth -- Greenland."

"We want Greenland," Trump said. "They don't want to give it to us. And I said, 'bye, bye.'"


Trump also criticized other traditional non-NATO allies including South Korea, Australia, and Japan for not assisting with the Iran war.

Trump praised gulf countries including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates for their support during the conflict.

That's right...


Demarket and talk against them because they decided to not back your unstable shenanigans. Just a few minutes ago NATO was the best thing to have happened after ham and bacon.


Says so much about your character as a leader.


This is not in anyway praising NATO for their hypothetical character either. They are all birds of the same feather sheep in wolves clothing.

Chikena!

I will never understand how supposedly educated people key into this man mannerism and ideology. Here in Nigeria you have Keke drivers and poverty ridden men who don’t know where Greenland is drumming support, beats me every time.

Cheche muchecheche grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy grin


During the beginning of Russian invasion of Ukraine, Nigerian IDFs were saying NATO will take Russia to the cleaners bla blacheesy

Now that NATO is scared of getting involved on the Iran War for consequences, thier Lord and personal saviour is singing a different tone.


LONG LIVE IRANcheesy


One thing is certain, after this War, Iran as a Nation will earn more respect (they are earning already).
Having US Base in your Country is no longer guarantee of security.

US and Cowardly EU will no longer gang up to attack small/Weak Nation (Iraq, Somalia,Syria,Libya etc)

We are steadily drifting towards a new world order.

Thank you to the Iranians

Oga clear the mess you created and stop looking for hands that will join you to shed blood.


I think you say without you, there is no NATO, your eyes have since cleared now, that, it's NATO that make people fear America, they withdraw halfway, you become paper tiger.


It's not only Russia, Iran has joined countries that no longer fear America.

For the first time i will be in support of Russia annexing greater part of europ..... most of European leaders are a bunch of woke nuisance (especially france and UK).

It's time the US pull out of NATO and allow Russia finish the job.

The dynamics of warfare has changed. Any country will turn to a paper tiger if they meet a resolute country that's not willing to yield. Just as Israel and the USA were turned to paper tigers by Iran
