No, the U.S. does not “pay for NATO.”
And no one “owes” America Greenland.
1/
MAGA rhetoric claims the U.S. spends $650–950bn “on NATO.”
That’s false.
That number is America’s national defense budget — global operations, Indo-Pacific, Middle East, nuclear forces — not NATO funding.
2/
NATO has a clearly defined common budget covering HQs, command structures, and shared infrastructure.
Total: ~€4.6bn/year for all 32 members combined.
Not trillions. Not hundreds of billions.
3/
Within that budget, the U.S. contributes 16% (€730m/year).
Germany pays roughly the same.
The rest is covered collectively by Europe, Canada, and others.
4/
European countries fund their own militaries.
Their own soldiers.
Their own equipment.
Their own defense spending — increasingly at or above NATO targets.
Europe pays for Europe’s defense.
5/
The U.S. presence in Europe isn’t charity.
It’s a mutually beneficial strategic arrangement that also serves American power projection, industry, and influence.
6/
And no — no treaty, budget line, or legal framework allows “territorial compensation.”
Greenland is not U.S. property.
Not NATO property.
Not a bargaining chip.
This isn’t anti-American.
It’s pro-truth.
🚨HOLY SHIT: China just bitch-slapped Trump over his rant that that he needs Greenland due to Chinese threats:
“We urge the United States to stop using the so-called threat from China as a pretext to pursue its own selfish interests.”
Humiliating.
PM Trudeau clears his family vacation with ethics commish BEFORE his well earned and deserved trip
Doesn't cost taxpayers an extra dime
..
Clutch their pearls
Meanwhile demagogue Pierre spends $18,000/day at our expense when on his Trumpian gaslighting tour

Total 🤐

BREAKING: The @OntarioNDP Official Opposition has found that Ford Conservatives have so far issued as many Minister’s Zoning Orders to benefit just the guests at a single Ford family wedding reception as the previous government issued during its entire 15 years in power. 1/5
Pierre Poilievre can’t be involved in Israel/Gaza war intel updates because he cannot pass a national security background check.
Neither can his wife.
Pretty sure that’s a major fucking red flag…
@KingaSurmaMPP@TorontoRBOT@fordnation@fordnation thinks 5 million people a year will visit their MegaSpa.
AGO: 1 million visitors/year
ROM: 1.3 million/year
CN Tower: 1.8 million/year
Zoo: 1.3 million/year
This plan will cost us half a billion $$$ + and is not based in reality. #SaveOntarioPlace#NoThermeTO
I have a podcast
I'm in Canada
I read the rules.
I don't have to register.
Neither does anyone who reports annual income below $10M for their podcasting activities.
Are you illiterate?
If not, why are you being weird?
E.coli.
Listeria
Train derailments
Faulty wiring
Collapsed buildings
These are a few things that can happen if you remove Gatekeepers.
Pierre Poilievre has no idea what he is talking about. #NeverVoteConservative#IStandWithTrudeau
Your vote matters.
@PierrePoilievre For the intellectually challenged in the room, including you, apparently.
Rent controls are Provincial. Ask your Premiers they are the ones that removed them.

When Stephen Harper left 24 Sussex Dr, he left it in such a state that now it has been condemned.
He tried to do the same to Canada and would have succeeded if Trudeau hadn't kicked his arse to the street 2015.
If you vote for Pierre Poilievre, you are voting Stephen Harper.
Wow! Gasteinerfall Waterfall in the city center of Bad Gastein (Salzburg), Austria, with huge volumes of water flowing down it due to the heavy rainfall over the last 24 hours.

When Poilievre points out how high rent is, he is saying that conservative premiers have failed.
When he talks about drug addiction, he is saying conservative premiers have failed.
Infrastructure?Again, conservative premiers have failed.
#NeverVoteConservative
Even Pierre agrees
Conflict of interest? Why? They’re Ontario’s Provincial Police force and if they didn’t have their noses shoved up Doug Fords ass, there wouldn’t be a problem. This is another reason Ford needs to go. He’s colluding with our police forces and getting away with all kinds of shit.
