Hey Marty,
I’m glad you liked the song. Thanks for the feedback.

According to the NATO contract everybody in Europe has to pay their 2% of GDP. I’m absolutely fine with that. Trump is now asking for 5%. That’s why some European countries are talking and even doing 5% (Denmark, but that’s a different story … they have to make sure nobody invades Greenland). America spends around 3.5% of their GDP for defense, not the 5% he’s asking for. And now Trump calls for Ukraine to pay the U.S. $2 for each dollar in aid the U.S. has sent to Kyiv to fight Russia’s invasion. That’s what European’s call putting money first. It’s not about the people or democracy. If they don’t pay, he’ll let Russia overrun them. That would be a very bad deal for America because Russia would then get the minerals Trump is after. European countries payed more in military aid to Ukraine to fight Russia than America did! As far as I know, Europe is getting no payback for their contributions. To top it all off Trump recently said Ukraine started the war, which is absolutely ridiculous. I said I wrote this from a European perspective and with the combination of Trump and Putin, Europe is feeling way more insecure.
I understand that you don’t want America to be drawn in. If that is what most Americans think then Trump should shut NATO down and close all the American Air Bases in Europe and let whoever wants to, take over Europe. But I’m not sure that’s what Trump wants. Who knows. Anyway, Germany felt pretty secure these past decades. I know, because I lived there. Things are changing rapidly. This is not an anti-Trump song, it’s about Russian angst.

All the best - Robert
