Your point is valuable and Very much appreciated.
I had no idea it was this bad, as Mr. Trump alluded to:
These NATO countries are not spending their fair share on defense -

all countries are expected to chip in. NATO’s official guidelines say member states should spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense.
Of the 28 countries in the alliance, only five — the U.S., Greece, Poland, Estonia and the U.K. — meet the target.
The rest lag behind. Germany spent 1.19% of its GDP on defense last year, France forked out 1.78%.
Iceland, which doesn’t have its own army, spends just 0.1% of its GDP on defense, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Five other countries spend less than 1%, according to NATO’s estimates for this year: Canada, Slovenia, Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg.
So the U.S>A> should have to pull the load?
What, is N.A.T.O. similar to the U.N.?
Seems so when you look at the finances.
