[@RoninYojimbo]

Sort of. POTUS traditionally has all press members pre-selected for press conferences and the staff try to 'screen' some of the questions with who intends to ask what, IF the press member will disclose it. Naturally preferred media outlets change depending on which party is in power, but they all usually get a chance to ask during some presser but not every presser. Biden's admin has been different by 1) having dramatically fewer pressers than his predecessors, 2) doing a full screening of the questions (as I understand it) to make sure he gets softer questions rather than just previewing for presidential prep, 3) also by not engaging with any attendees who are from critical outlets. Won't claim to be an expert, but that's my understanding.

Why are the ones all the way across the pond fundings over half of everything for a conglomerate of other members landlocked with each other??? NATO shoulda been done decades ago and Americans are finally catching on to it. Whether Biden gets in office again or not is irrelevant people care too much about this as an issue, if it’s not next term it’ll be the following the states start to pull out I’d wager. And rightfully so. No use being in alliances when you’re carrying the alliance on your back and going exponentially further into debt at the expense of your citizens. The states literally have more to gain being completely by themselves than helping with nato in any way. The states accumulate losses every year the more developments that nato accrues. ESPECIALLY with the military industrial complex (hence that being the numbers I sourced, do fact check them please).
