Trump’s Vice Presidential Pick Vows No More “Free Rides” for U.S. Allies
This should come as no surprise that J.D. Vance to echoing Donald Trump’s call for U.S. allies to do more for national defense:
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate has vowed to ensure U.S. allies share the burden of promoting world peace, and warned them against what he called “free rides.”
Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio made the remarks during a speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Wednesday amid concerns that Trump, if reelected, could put pressure on South Korea to increase its financial contributions for stationing the 28,500-strong U.S. Forces Korea (USFK).
“Together, we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace,” he told a cheering crowd at the convention. “No more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the American taxpayer.”

Well, I don’t know how much it costs either side, nor how much is being paid; but Trump has a way of making deals that make everyone but commie moochers feel like winners.
They just feel like little whiners. Or wieners.
No more simping by Uncle Sugar.
Good!
The US wants to bully and collapse the economies of all its allies, and it wants to become an isolated hermit kingdom.
At no point did Vance mention the ROK in this quote. Though the article is obviously intended to make the reader believe that is the nation he is talking about. Maybe he is talking about the countries who have agreed to pay a certain percentage of their GDP on their own military, in exchange security guarantees from us and have not done (not even close) so for decades? That’s not the ROK. Stupid journalists.
@Liz, the journolists [sic] are not stupid, they are corrupt and selling leftist propaganda.
