except maybe china or russia

Literally uneducated

In the state of the world

Let alone we cannot even stop migrants from latin america how would we stop them during a collapse

american money literally finances the entire European military forces

Factually incorrect

Lmao

I’m not arguing with someone who says shit like america is the only reason nato can exist

To deny the military potential of europe is first grade level of knowledge of the current world

european nations fund their own nations somewhat

but the vast majoirty of their defense is with our money

over 75% at least

in some cases

Because they haven’t had to for 30 years now and we’ve seen massive increases in spending over the past five years as soon as a possible threat emerges in russia

That’s all I will say for tonight

Gn I’m tired

Gn lad

norway increased their budget from 6 billion to almost 8 billion

thats hardly a difference when we spend over 700 billion on our military

Ye

And most tax goes to military

imagine if 600 billion were to stop being funnled into NATO

it would complely stop the militarys of NATO that didnt already fund their own militarys like Turkey does

Yep

600 billion isn’t funneled into NATO you absolute mong. Literally read the chart you just posted it says only 30 billion is directly spent on europe with the rest of the spending going towards our own military which has assets across the globe. Most european defense in operated by europeans. More or less we provide manpower and weapons systems for europeans to purchase.

And to pick on Norway as an example of spending when they have a population less than Indiana isn’t saying much

Maybe look at Germany or Britain. Germany specifically put funding into recruiting some 20,000 men over the last two years in response to Russia.

germany also trains tank maneuvers with broomsticks and is notoriously underfunded

and does not want to change

Page 4 graph 5

NATO guidelines require at least 2% funding of GDP into defence

USA is 5.28 %

Which is completely arbitrary

europe and canada 1.48

Germany has begun to change as has Europe in the face of russia

out of 919 billion dollars in 2018

605 was USA dollars

313 was europe and canada combined
