Trump Says 'Giggity' to NATO (For Now)

Alright! So NATO's big cheese Mark Rutte is struttin' around The Hague tellin' everyone that Prez Trump is totally on board with the whole NATO thing. Apparently there's "total commitment" from the big man himself. But and this is a big 'but'… it's like when I offer to pay for dinner but then realize I only have lint and a condom in my wallet. There's an expectation. And that expectation is that everyone else starts coughin' up some serious dough! Giggity! You know it's like when Lois asks me to take out the trash. There's always a catch!

Show Me the Money! (Or Else… Giggity?)

Rutte's basically saying that the U.S. is tired of bein' the sugar daddy of the Western world. They want Europe and Canada to start payin' their fair share for defense. And by 'fair share,' we're talkin' a whole lotta clams! It's not just about fairness though. Rutte's squawking about the 'continuing threat from Russia.' Which frankly sounds like a good excuse to me. You know like when you tell a girl you're a doctor to get her into bed. You have to sell it!. Giggity!

Five Percent? That's What She Said!

Now get this. These countries agreed to bump up their defense spending to 5% of their GDP by 2035. Five percent! Sounds like a personal best if you ask me. But the real question is can they actually do it? I mean I've promised girls a lot of things after a few drinks. You have to bring the numbers up!. Giggity! Remember that time I told that flight attendant I was an astronaut? Good times good times.

Stop Worrying Start Spending (Giggity Style)

Rutte's message to the Europeans is simple: 'Stop your worrying start investing!' He wants them to get their defense plans in order beef up their industrial base and keep supporting Ukraine. Sounds like a good time to invest in those industrial ladies!. And he adds: stop fretting about the U.S.; they're with us! Unless of course they decide to bail at the last minute. I should know a thing or two about last minute exits right?

Spain Gets a Pass? Not So Fast Giggity!

Some countries like Poland and Estonia are already overachievers when it comes to defense spending. Others like Spain are… well let's just say they're not exactly breakin' the bank. There were rumors that Spain might get a free pass on the 5% target but the Netherlands' Defense Minister is callin' BS! He's sayin' Spain needs to pony up like everyone else. You know gotta spread the wealth around. Like when I try to spread my… well you get the idea. Giggity!

Red Carpets and Joint Statements (and Maybe Some Giggity?)

Trump is showing up for a fancy dinner with the King and Queen of the Netherlands. I bet there will be a whole lotta giggity going around! Apparently his presence is proof that NATO is still strong and ambitious. And they are agreeing on a ambitious benchmark on 5% of GDP all because of Trump. Who would've thought? The world's gone mad I tell ya. Mad!. Giggity Giggity Goo!
