In all honesty nato is kinda nessecary in the grand scheme

the issue is that the nations whom were protected not abuse us more then the russians do

But now that the us is ahead it would get to the point that the other nations are hokding it back

They do not feed nor allow free use of the land on nato bases

we pay to feed nato, and us bases for nato are RENTED

we have to pay them fucking rent to protect them

and thats not even the worst of it

Thankfully a serious refunding of the military is gonna happen here

Might be an embezzlement scheme actually

it is

i always wondered why the US rented bases on foreign soil and then those countries expected us to help them for free.

A way to funnel money to corrupt leaders

like bitch, you want our help for free, least you could do is give us the base for free

look at all the nations around the world we protect, they dont lift or spend a finger on their own military

they cant even meet the demand of 3% gdp

THREE PRECENT IS ASKING TO MUCH OF OUR ALLIES TO DO AND THEY SIGNED A DOCUMENT SAYING THEY WOULD!

Kek, and they have the gall to complain about the us moving their embassy

Memes be upon him.

I loved the speaxh nikki haley gave

The un one

2

2% GDP

its 2?

Yes.

i think more than few of those countires might be taking the US's large military budget and power as way to supplement their own national defense so they can spend their money on social policies, then publicly shame us for our military they use

Thats pathetic

And it's not a requirement, just a VERY SIGNIFICANT URGING.

oh hell no, im syaing this.

they said they could meet it and it wouldnt be an issue in the past

and never the fuck do it

's just the actual letter of the document

No, the problem is that the Soviets collapsed

NATO countries definitely met the requirement

Until the USSR went belly up

Or they could atleast appear greatful

Now they got terrorism and we need allies even more

could you imagion what would happen if the US and russia decided ya know what. Fuck it. Lets end this terrorism bullshit

Well, get that wall, vetting, should stop more recruits

and israel got to hold the camera and watch as the us and russia through their entirem ilitary weight into it

Wasnt isis on the verge of loosing recently

yeah becuase the secretary of offense took the shackles off our military
