if America spent the equivalent percentage of GDP as Europe does on the military we would save about 400 billion dollars a year. Of course we would be in a lot of trouble if we did that. I guess they feel they don’t have to spend that since we have their back

Is there ANY NATO country, besides the U.S., and finally beginning this year, Poland, that is spending the 4% of GDP on military expenditures, as REQUIRED by the NATO Treaty?

With an eye on continuing fighting in Ukraine and threats to other Eastern European Nato members,

Russia is waking up the West, to the fact that it is trying to regain the ability to threaten the world.

Germany signed and ratified a Treaty with all the NATO member states committing themselves to spending JUST 2% of GDP on defense.

They have never hit that mark....usually cruising at 1.4%.

They are down to point 7 percent now.

They, and every member state of the alliance except Poland are in material violation of the treaty.

The USA should give them and every other country 2 years to ramp up to 2%. If most get there and a few don't, they should be expelled.

Immediately.

If most don't get there, the USA should withdraw...ceremoniously...and permanently.

No quarter for slackers and cheats.
