We spend 46 cents out of every defense dollar on earth yet haven’t been invaded in over 200 yearsActually we don’t. Most NATO countries pay 2.5 percent of their GDP on the military. We pay 4.7 percent of our GDP on “Defense”GOP is providing just what Putin wanted when he elected TrumpJFK advocated national healthcare......Republicans do not
He advocated strong international alliances ......Republicans do not
JFK advocated for programs to help the poor......Republicans do not
JFK opposed the Russians........Republicans are their political partners
JFK would oppose Republican excesses....just like Kennedy’s today do
The GOP wants a stronger NATO, not a free ride like the dems gave, sanctions are in-place, so what alliance do you think is weaker?
Help the poor? How about $412b for Medicaid and $462b for Welfare in the 2019 budget? (totally disproves your point, let them get jobs and get even more)
Help the Russians, have you seen the sanctions, the cancelled gas pipeline, and the intermediate range missile treaty cancelled? (OMG, your game is off, Hillary and the dems colluded with the Russians for the UraniumOne scam, and for the Steele Dossier. What do you have on Trump and the Russkies??)
GOP excesses, agreed, the tax cuts are too much and need to be reversed to pay the bills, as well as cut defense, welfare & medicaid.
A weakened NATO alliance, diminished international leadership from the US, confusion and bickering in the West, trade wars
Why shouldn't all NATO members pay their share of the costs? Why should the USA cover the majority of the cost and the cost of protecting those other countries?
trump has put stronger economic sanctions on Russia, hardly what Putin wanted, you are speaking from ignorance and partisan bias.
Rather than ask why they don’t pay more, we should be looking to pay less
you just don't get it. we pay more because we are defending all of them with our military. Why do you think we should be the world's police force at our expense?
How dumb is that?
Why not cut defense spending to 3 percent GDP and leave the rest of the world to defend themselves
