OK, it’s their money. Why didn’t they meet the correct level for NATO membership before Russia went in?
NATO let Germany run short for years without funding the required 2% in their own defense budget. Back in February, Germany finally came up to par on that requirement, the first time since the Cold War ended. NATO has been extremely remiss these years in enforcing their own rules on member nations. It's time the U.S. got out of NATO.
I've asked the question many times, where is Ukraine going to get the money to meet that membership requirement? They're currently living off the American taxpayer.
