I’m guessing ignorance is your strong subject. Europe needs to grow a pair of balls and take care of Europe. We’ve bailed that shit hole of a continent out of every war because they’re incapable of handling anything on their own. They may be the older brother but it’s time for them to grow the f-ck up and be responsible adults.
Because it went so well the last time we had a batch of real powers in Europe...
Don’t get me wrong, I think all NATO members should contribute 2-3% of their GDP toward their defenses.
Maybe a good formula would be 2% toward self defense that really is geared mainly toward manpower and defensive systems, and ~1/2% to pay the US to maintain a presence.
