Prince Harry has released a statement in response to Trump’s remarks:
*”In 2001, Nato invoked Article 5 for the first—and only—time in history. It meant that every allied nation was obliged to stand with the United States in Afghanistan, in pursuit of our shared security. Allies answered that call.*
*”I served there. I made lifelong friends there. And I lost friends there. The United Kingdom alone had 457 service personnel killed.*
*”Thousands of lives were changed forever. Mothers and fathers buried sons and daughters. Children were left without a parent. Families are left carrying the cost.*
*”Those sacrifices deserve to be spoken about truthfully and with respect, as we all remain united and loyal to the defence of diplomacy and peace.”*

The royals actually served in the military. *Trump did not.*
So we can expect Trump to really rage defensively on this one, his ego won’t allow for this “insult”.

Trump has no idea what respect means. He only respects himself.
He mocks other countries, their governments, militaries, veterans, he mocks American veterans…

Just remember that is coming from a guy that him and his whole family dodged the draft

Say what you will about the royal family, but I will always have respect for Prince Harry signing up to serve in Afghanistan. It was a noble thing to do. Leading by example.

Not one Trump served in any type of military service. In fact, he has openly called these people losers and suckers. He has no respect for any veteran. This family is an absolute shit stain (both figuratively and literally) on America.

Trump doesn’t respect American troops who have died in wars much less other country’s sacrifices. 🙁

A lot of things deserve respect. Being respectful used to be considered a nearly universal sign of strength, morality, and wisdom.
The far right now consider respect to be a weakness. They consider strength, morality, and wisdom to be design flaws in the human character.

A Canadian sniper in Afghanistan held the world record for the longest sniper kill for several years until it was finally broken.
Just sayin’….

This is the same guy who doesn’t respect his own troops. Think he gives a flying fuck about any?
Only thing Trump cares about is his bank account and his ballroom. Thats it.

Expect within 48 hours Trump will order the DOJ to invent a crime to pin on Harry. This is exactly the kind of thing Trump has been waiting for.

This guy at least showed up for the army; so draft dodger Trump can have a stadium of seats

Mark Carney’s speech said it all. The world is wide awake and done with America, and sick of pedo nepo bitch baby Trump.

Trump rapes. He doesn’t respect.

As an American that was born before the War on Terror and lived my formative years during the nearly 20 year occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, the absolute disregard for our friends who answered the ONLY time Article 5 has been activated is appalling.
We may never return to a time where the US could be regarded as a friend in my lifetime. We are a pariah state and absolutely deserve the hardship that is coming as a result of betraying our friends.
I feel nothing but shame and contempt for the “leaders” I voted against 3 times.

Trump doesn’t even respect his own troops. Why would he respect anyone else’s troops?

Man what the fuck did trump say this time to anger our allies? Such a fucking embarrassment man.

trump, the republican party, and maga will never respect anyone, they are disgusting and always will be.

From a Canadian’s point of view, this insult to his allies deeply pains me.
We lost four soldiers (the first of many) to a US F16 trigger happy National Guard pilot.

CLAIM: Today President Donald Trump stated that the US has got “nothing out of NATO”.
FACT: The one and only time that Article 5 has been invoked was in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the US when NATO aircraft were deployed to help US airspace. Subsequently NATO assumed command of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan in 2003. 159 members of the Canadian Armed Forces were killed in action in Afghanistan including Sergeant Marc Daniel Léger, Corporal Ainsworth Dyer, Private Richard Green and Private Nathan Lloyd Smith who were killed by “friendly fire” from a US F-16 in the Tarnak Farm Incident. These 159 lives plus the estimated 635 wounded in action and 1,436 Non Battle Injuries are not “nothing”, at least as I see it.

Trump doesn’t even respect the sacrifices of US soldiers. He called them “losers” if I remember correctly. Another unbelievably ironic statement coming from the leader of the MAGA movement.

A reminder to any UK citizens. Nigel Farage/Reform would bend over backwards for Trump. He would sell us all out to America. Farage supports this kind of attitude and disgusting speech. Have a good think about that before voting in a few years.

Any country who sacrificed troops or citizens for our wars deserves respect and an apology if they were disrespected.

It’s a draft dodging pedophile. No respect will be given, to anyone, ever.

Trump has also been recorded calling US troops losers and POWs cowards. His disrespect is universal.

the contrast is pretty wild when you actually look at the specifics. harry did two full tours in a war zone, got pulled out because his presence literally endangered his unit, and still came back to advocate for veterans. meanwhile some people dodge the draft five times and then lecture about sacrifice. the cognitive dissonance is almost impressive.

NATO troops did more in Afghanistan than the US president did in any US war.

The Supreme Leader respects only money and himself. And sex traffickers. And pedophiles. And wealthy elites. And sex predators. Nothing else.
