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.
never in a lifetime
If the troops aren't in Germany, they'll be somewhere else
just wait for the next recession
what happened during the last recession
"we promised to close down that thing down in cuba"
"but not really"
-Obama
who´s budget was slashed immidiently?
social spending
military.
thats what i said
no
a good portion of military
is social spending
they cut veteran's pensions
and that wasnt all

saying you have to do more
