over 700 billion !! thats what the US spends on NATO annually !!

[yidnar]

although other stats say the US spends only 400 billion a yr !!! even if that is true thats nearly half a trillion bucks a yr !!! so if thats true why the hell is it wrong do demand better trade agreements and lower tariffs on our goods sold in the same countries we spend 100s of billions to protect ?? shouldnt we at least get a fair deal ??

I thought we had stopped your foot chewing compulsion. Back to square one.

we spend 3.5 % of gdp on NATO thats a lot of money !

No where near 400 billion by a loooooong shot but proportionally we're twice to fifteen times the size of all the other members. so it's relational.

so spending a higher % of GDP is rational ?

America's contribution to NATO's military budget - provided through the Department of the Army's Operations and Maintenance account - is under 23 percent. The U.S. contributed $408.051 million and $430.381 million, respectively, in FY2009 and FY2010, according to the Congressional Budget Service

$700 billion is our whole defense budget.

NATO's base budget is under $2 billion a year.

Don't fall for the fake news, it's embarrassing for everyone.

2 billion a yr !!! where do you get those stats ?

Google it. Easy to find.

Yeah that's a lot of money, especially when you're dropping LSD, perhaps you should cut down on the dosage.

The U.S. Real GDP in 2017 was $17.09 trillion, 3.5% of which would be $598 billion which is larger than the entire U.S. defense budget for 2017 ($582.17 billion).

Funding NATO

The US pays 22% of the costs of NATO, more than any other country, but possibly because it's 3 times larger than any other country.

Germany pays 14%, but has 80 million people compared to 325 million.

France and the UK pay half what the US pays, but have populations about 1/5th the size of the US.

So, it's bullshit that the US pays more than other countries.

The US pays a lot of money towards its own military. But that's because the US is a warmonger country. NATO is defensive, most of the US military is offensive.

How many aircraft carriers do they have? Great britian needed to rent an AWAC from us during the Libyan war to protect her ships.

Damn !! i may have gotten the math wrong on this one !! oh well i could just humbly admit that i was wrong ......naaahhhh fuck all of you !!

Why do you keep lying?

If you are tired of people kicking your ass with facts, just post the evidence that details NATO's annual budget

I will give you an example:
For 2017, NATO’s military budget is 1.29 billion euro ($1.38 billion), the civilian budget is 234.4 million euro ($252 million), and the NSIP budget ceiling is 655 million euro ($704 million).

US Pays 22.1% of NATO Budget; Germany 14.7%; 13 Allies Pay Less Than 1%

That's the entire defense budgets for each NATO member country NOT how much each country spends directly on NATO.

 

[Wyatt earp]

over 700 billion !! thats what the US spends on NATO annually !!

Amazing how people will believe any number that is thrown at them

The ENTIRE US military budget is $700 billion a year

Exactly...... It should be only $400 billion a year but we have to protect all these piss ass socialist countries that can't protect themselves or their shipping interests ..

Which "actual numbers" are you referring to? The ones you posted aren't meaningful unless translated into a percentage of nominal GDP and then matched to total defense spending obligations of each NATO member (which are measured in % of GDP not nominal dollar figures).

For the most part, NATO member nations aren't meeting their treaty obligations with respect to total defense spending, last time I looked it was only 4 countries out of 27 member countries that were meeting the 2% of GDP target specified by treaty.

By most estimates the U.S. spends less that $600 million on direct NATO funding, which is more than any other country but FAR less than the OP claims.

Plenty sites reference percentages, couldn't find one that identified actual dollars.
