that just makes 0 sense

Without a need for defense because America is your ally, they can spend more of their GDP on social programs

feels bad man

you actually do know that costs are usually split for american troops stationed in EU

same with Japan and Korea

US pays half, the country where they are stationed pays the other half

so the country isnt paying all of it

(wowlads)

and US isnt paying all of it aswell

*~~wow~~*

so means trump was right

not 100%

the eu is being a lil bitch to the usa

he is right that after cold war, everybody cut their military spending

while usa pays for half of their budget

US did the same

>US did the same

>military-industrial complex

Tech, are you actually retarded?

how does US pay half of EU-s budget?

america actually cutting military spending

tell me please

I would like to hear

"US pays half, the country where they are stationed pays the other half"

this is your own words

thats for US troops

I´ll give u an example

you have a division of US soldiers. You place them to Germany. Now what will happen is that u need a billion USD for the upkeep of that division. And you make a deal with the German goverment, who will be paying 500 million of that cost and you only have to pay the other 500 million.

So, no. The US isnt paying EU-s budget.

so a better deal

we withdraw us soldiers

thats actually worse

germany has less solldiers

germany now has to provide its own defense

germany has to draw troops frmo their own population

nice

germany will have more funds available, sure. But US would have to cut its costs.

>US cutting military spending

never in a lifetime

If the troops aren't in Germany, they'll be somewhere else

just wait for the next recession
