Yeah! Honestly Oskar....tell us what's so friggen bad about this?? Seriously man....TDS.
I wonder if he sees that the fact that the US pays so much more to NATO means that we can give them the finger and invade Iraq without their consent or facing any consequences, though.
Actually it's the other way around. The NATO treaty commits all the member country's armies to each other. "An attack on one is an attack on all". So it's not a question of consent. It's more a question of where is our friggen backup? Like when we were fighting ISIS and we were like "Hey France!! Put down the fromage and get your frog ass over here!". And France was like "Mais non mon ami! We'll just sit here with baguettes up our buttholes and hope nothing bad happens in our country"
So France sat out that conflict. I wonder if they'll be at the next one hmmm?
ok, bad joke.
But yeah, that's how NATO works. And if you recall a couple of years ago, a NATO member (ukraine) was invaded by Russia, and Obama didn't lift a finger. So Barry kinda lost a lot of negotiating leverage when it comes to money. Trump, has no such problem. He happily armed the Ukraine and Russia has backed off. Now seems like a great time for Trump to go in there and say "See....I saved your fucking asses, now pay me!"
I'm not in favor of any single nation having that kind of unilateral power, but it seems like the kind of thing Trump would appreciate.
Despite your uselessness here, I thought you were one of the sensible ones resisting the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yet here you are spouting the same old "Trump wants to be a dictator!" demagoguery.
(I'm pretty sure I'm crossing NATO with the UN, upon further reflection, but I'm also pretty sure the point stands.)
Meh...lucky thing I'm around to correct you.
