Oh wow percentage of GDP. But when we break down the actual amount of money spent on NATO no other country comes even close. Like it or not the member countries need US involvement because no one else has the capabilities the US has. Otherwise China and Russia would be at the cutting edge of military technology and lots of Europe would be paying for all that went down in history. As if China wouldn't look to pay the UK back for all that imperialism!

True...anyone thinking NATO is powerful without the US, is dreaming lol

a reply to: hangedman13

Because your country is much bigger than other NATO members?

Ffs?

I suspect that China is looking at bits of Russia rather than the UK.

China has a bit of form on Imperialism, by the way.

That's pretty much the deal fella!🤣
...if the US pulled out, and the EU wanted some EuroForce creation, I'd want # all to do with it, preferring some sort of 'Airstrip One' deal with the US.
We'd remain the junior partner being bitched around a bit, but I'd massively choose that over some #ty deal with Germany and France calling the shots!!!😱

Not according to Trump's comments.

YES according to Trumps comments. He says you MUST PAY to play in NATO we do!

We got into those two wars to save Europe and England's asses and you damn well don't seem to appreciate it here.

The drugs they send to the former colonies and Britain are a payback for the opium wars on China at the end of the 19th Century. They play the long game there. I feel they are just beginning to toy with the remnants of the once vast Empire.

Most Americans are not selfish people.

Nobody in our Nation should need anything.

Yet our Vets are forgotten and they can’t give our money away fast enough.

We even give our enemies money.

This is out of control…

a reply to: whyamIhere

That is exactly what bothers me the most and why we are not screaming and protesting in the streets about how our tax dollars has been used, abused and wasted.

We as a nation should be priority, nobody in the US that is an American citizen and tax payer should be lacking anything, we got plenty of money to make sure everybody have what they need.

Why then we have people in our nation going hungry, homeless, living in despicable conditions, while we feed other nations and give tax dollars to terrorist sponsoring countries.

Are we that dumbed out.

a reply to: whyamIhere

Yes Drill Sergeant WhyamIhere!

You are 100% spot on so much we could call you "spot on".

a reply to: marg6043

Dang it most of us are. We have to keep a stiff upper lip and proceed to keep telling the truth. It does stick with folks who care.

No there isn't. You're lucky enough to be on the same planet as us and you all need to bow to our worldly superiority!

Plus there's a whole thing going on here where one party wants to "hold hands and skip" through a garden of NWO, NATO, and UN togetherness under a satanic globalist environmental elite with scam policies and open borders. Whereas the other one wants to change the statue of liberty to a middle finger and go total autocratic isolationism. Like a "Strong Mayor" model only with an elected king that isolates us from the global economy through Caymen Island level tariffs and pulls out of The Paris Climate Accord because ITS ALL A KLAUS SCHWAB LIE TO MAKE YOU EAT ZE BUGS!

Our candidates find their level?

And Trump isn't planning on pulling out of NATO so much as acting like a mob boss demanding they pay their protection fee of 2.0% of their GDP on defense.

UK is all good, you pay 2.3, Duda is a fan of Trump, so Poland is at 4.1% now. But those Canucks have been light on their protection monies. Only 1.3%?! You can Blame Canada!



* It's almost like something happened in Europe after 2014 that caused NATO countries to up their spending.

a reply to: Degradation33

One does one's best to keep the British end up.

a reply to: Justoneman

We do pay our fair share in NATO.

And we are grateful. Took us a while to repay you under Lend Lease.

a reply to: Degradation33

No way! I'm genuinely surprised by that paltry amount!
I guess pretty boy Trudeau doesn't have much to worry about really, Russia and nobody else is attacking them anytime soon, and the good ol' US of A mops up all the illegal immigrants from south America.

He's probably only ever using his military to protect Canadian fishing territories, and/or disaster aid at home.
1.3% is pisstake small defence budget, but when yer neighbour and geography cover most risks, I guess they've no incentive to change it!🤣

The US buys influence from most of the other countries of the world and they gladly sell it. It's comical to watch members of either party complain about the arrangement.

Taylor represents the county of bad decisions. But it was nice of her to donate.

No doubt you are letting us carry the lions share as only one nation. I can say amount sent to NATO per citizen it does look likes the UK is trying.
