Third articleI read.



Trump disagrees with the way NATO is funded and it's clear he is right. With other rich and poor nations all dodging their commitment.

This is why. https://www.euronews.com/2018/07/10/...try-by-country

The EU has committed to raise more in the future.
all this effort and still you miss the same main point as Trump - the NATO has no bank account where members send money.

the 2% guideline has been accepted, members are working towards that - suddenly Trump brings up 4%

the thing is: besides the US no country is willing to spend that much money on fucking military - rightfully so.

Also: people (like you) complain about higher taxes - where the fuck do you think the money for military spending comes from?

What are you willing to sacrifice for that? The low cost healthcare that saved yours and Evas life? The free education for your daughter? The inexpensive and perfectly organized public transportation?

What, Paul? What are you giving up on or how much more are you willing to pay to buy more weapons? Tell me.
