He is not very good in that...there are no unpaid alliance dues. Maybe just read the NATO treaty and decisions once again.
And y missed my point regarding MiddleEast, although it is partly my fault because I was not precise enough: I have meant the invastion in Iraq with no clear concept. Part of the consequence is the rise of ISIS. This is what I meant with acting responsible and I have exactly the same view as Mattis here...
And Trump is the next generation....so the 70plus generation if for you the new one ?.
Yes but the whole discussion is really meaningless. I guess the US is a young country and has to make the experience with a "dear" leader by itself. The price will be high but humans are learning best by experience....

So you want to talk about Afghanistan instead of Syria? OK sure.
Germany is only there because we asked you to come as Skybird and others have repeatedly mentioned here on this forum and Germany has done nothing but complain and criticize our efforts so i'd think that you'd be happy to finally see the end of it.
After all what exactly have we accomplished over there in almost 2 decades of continual conflict? What will we accomplish in three decades or four? We completed original objective long ago and now we are engaged in nation building in probably the worst place in the world to try it and the second we stop it will revert right back to the 14th century (albeit with modern weapons). So how do you feel about Germany fighting in Afghanistan forever?
Oh and please keep the "dear leader" crap to yourself. We are not Germans nor is this post WW1 Europe and unless the Democrats prevail in their efforts to overturn the 2016 election then President Trump will leave office either in 2020 or 2024 and not one day longer.
