Well, Farage wasn't wrong about the comments he made about Van Rompuy, also let's not forget about the many years of abuse and ridicule he faced from the EU top brass and other MEP'S because he wanted the UK out of the EU.
It's ironic that Junkers&co, want us to meet our obligations and pay a hefty divorce settlement to the EU, but countries like Luxembourg which Junkers turned into a rich tax haven when he was leader, default on their obligations.
Last year Luxembourg only contributed 0.44% of a minimum of 2% to NATO, Germany and France also defaulted.
Once again it's:
"Don't do as I do, but do as I say".
There is a lot of "fake news" generated successfully by Trump that seems to have been swallowed hook, line and sinker by many.
There is no current commitment by NATO members to send ANYTHING to NATO.
What there is, is an aim to spend 2% of GDP by member countries on there OWN defence - the date for achievement of this aim is 2024 - so none of the NATO countries have defaulted on anything!
