Trump: "One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia, and I want to say, 'let's cut our military budget in half.' And we can do that."

Explanation is that he's working on a way to get the other half of that money into his own pocket.

He spent the best part of his first presidency slamming Europe’s defence spending, demanding they increase it, and threatening if they didn’t. What gives?

He's a moron who worships autocrats, the more murderous, the better

He thinks he is King Louie and Putin is Mowgli. The orange one wants to be like him, walk like him, talk like him, too.

Putin has activated Agent #1.

Americans need to understand, they should assume that Putin has 5-6 agents in White House cabinet meetings, not including staff and aides.

Oh I suppose even Li and Putin deserve a good laugh every now and than......

Sometimes conservatives can achieve progressive goals easier than Dems. Think of Nixon signing environmental legislation, Reagan negotiating arms reduction, or Bush 41 raising taxes.

Ok, so we need to translate this. Is this a bid for the privatisation of defense to private militias or what? Or does he think he could trick China & Russia into downsizing their defense? Or is he just gaslighting his 'peace loving' voters?

To be fair, China and Russia's military budget is way less than both US and Europe, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous and it's a bad move.

Yes, I'm just trying to make sense of it really as I doubt he in particular would want to cut his own power over other nations.

China has been building a pentagon ten times the size of the one in the US, so no.
