    … has stated that the US is obliged to reimburse the funds.

    So, they spent $50million to pay our employees, and they expect Trump to pay them back? Have they not been paying attention?

    But, also, fuck them for doing this. They should do everything BUT pay them, including kicking them out if it comes to that. It’s not their responsibility, and they should not be covering for our fucked up government.

      Tricky to “kick out” an outpost of the most powerful military in the world.

      Further, you really don’t want an outpost of that same military sitting in your country unpaid, worrying about their family, maybe running short of food, absolutely running short of entertainment, tension rising, and heavily armed.
