@Mnto02 @GBC_Press Look it up. They account for 60% of NATO defense spending.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press Well I’m Dutch actually, but I do live in the US.

So would you agree the US should significantly decrease NATO spending?

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press That being said, I also live in the US. And I believe, the US needs to decrease spending in NATO to 25%. Spread the responsibility more evenly to all countries in NATO. And therefore, minimizing the US burden of responsibilities in the EU

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press Look, I agree, I’m Dutch, I think the EU should stay out of conflicts. Focus on helping other countries rebuild or build up as most EU countries have a successful blueprint and great working relationships with nations all around the world.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press That being said, would you consider it fair if the US removed a significant portion of their funding as the alliance doesn’t seem to be benefitting them, even though they are the majority of the financial and military power within the alliance?

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press I agree, do not send service members. But that’s not what this is about, is it? The US is just requesting permission to use the bases it already uses, but for aircraft.
Therefore, what is the risk to your people?

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press No, you can look it up. US service members make up about 1-2$ Billion of the Italian economy.

That’s before infrastructure spending.

Additionally, this allows Italy’s government to spend less on their own, as approximately 29,000 US service members reside in Italy.

@BernieSanders Now tell us about all the Soros money.

Didn’t the previous administration favor their political allies as well.

Also, how’s your buddy Platner doing?

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@JezziiB Out of pocket medical expenses has actually increased by 41% since implementing this.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press Furthermore, what is Italy gaining from resisting the US from using the bases they already own?
Are they sympathizing with Iranians regime? Or is it just for optics of resisting Trump?
Either way, there isn’t a win in it financially, economically or socially.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press If your economy suffers, so will the quality of life. The impact might not be immediate, but it will be shown in all metrics eventually.

What kind of comparison is that?

There needs to be a healthy, sustainable balance between economic growth and social economic programs.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@Mnto02 @GBC_Press Most of Europe is. I’m European myself.
But how does it benefit the economic environment? What does it have to do with the country needed support or not?
It’s a fun fact and great for families that on average they can spend more time with one another.

@PurpGoldLakers One more to go: starting 3/4

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@NYCMayor This is terrible for the actors and film industry professionals that are already struggling. This pointless lawsuit will only delay, not stop and drive paramount out of blue states. Ultimately hurting the film industry more, and therefore hurt struggling industry professionals.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@GavinNewsom California has some of if not the highest housing costs in the nation.

And this will barely put a dent into all the harm you’ve done over the years.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@BronMuse @ShamsCharania We’re all bored of this same old story. Pick one and move on. Stop the crap, he knows where he’s going. This is the kind of thing fans of teams hate.

[Kevin Menkhorst @KevinMMenk]

@DemzDeliver Stop messing with the film industry! This is only going to delay more movies from being made! This is a pointless lawsuit
