Agreed. Plus, the old joke about not wanting to belong to a club that would have one. Sort of applies to NATO these days.
Bulgaria? Hello? Bulgarians are the sorriest lot of soldiers I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying a lot. I mean, they make the “Bungle-a-deshi” soldiers look like paragons of military honor and discipline.
Yet we have our tax dollars at work subsidizing the likes of the Bulgarian, Romanian, Albanian, etc. militaries. Sigh.
Both Bulgaria and Romania spent a lot on your stupid wars + they have +$7 billion orders of US made weapons in progress. It's not really you subsidizing them.
