When we beat the Axis (certainly with the help of Russia) we generally chose to help those countries out by rebuilding them instead of raping their women and forcing them to join our union. Germany and Japan looked at each other, winked and said "we've found our mark". Our generosity is expected even though we are scorned for having the capacity to be so generous. Trump is trying to get the EU, NATO and others to realize that they have to contribute to their own defense in a fair way. They are the delinquent renter who cries out against eviction because he never had to keep current with his rent before. Well, times are changing. The USA is not a lottery winner. We've earned our prosperity on the backs and blood of our forefathers. Let's not forget that we need to earn our progeny their freedom and prosperity by doing our part.
