I disagree. Its highly disingenuous for them to beg for us to provide their defense for them and then turn right around and buy from the very people they want us to defend them against. By pouring all that money into Russia’s coffers, they are only increasing the threat they face.
This shows they are simply playing us. We’re “allies” when they are asking for something from us but not if it might entail the teeniest tiniest bit of sacrifice on their part.
Yet more evidence that they are not allies and that we need to bring the boys home and stop paying for their defense.
May be, but "disingenuous" is not the standard for breaching treaty agreements. The actual terms of the treaty agreement is the standard.

That's their stupidity and problem, not the U.S.'s unless that breaches the terms of the treaty.

If true, then that's stupidity on our part. Our stupidity is not their fault or problem, it's OUR fault and OUR problem. Trump has been showing and saying that if he has been saying anything.

Again, back to the current treaty. Does that break our agreement? Was the original treaty stupid? Was the original treaty constitutional? Can the treaty be renegotiated? It is up to US to not enter into stupid and/or unconstitutional treaties with other nations. That is up to US, and no one else.
