Should NATO Nations Pay Their Fair Share?

[Weatherman2020]

The Left are always talking about the rich paying their fair share. I think this is a perfect opportunity for it. NATO is to protect Europe, let Europeans assume the burden.

Just watch what happens to their socialist programs without Americans carrying the weight.

However, despite increases in activity, there was no real increase in the size of the military forces within most NATO members. Their focus continued to be on internal domestic entitlement spending and supporting the maturation of the European “experiment.” The thought remained that the United States, then spending more than 4 percent of its GDP on defense and national security, would continue to cast its broad security blanket over Europe, where such spending quickly dipped below 2 percent of GDP as a whole.

How can they be expected to give all those handouts to immigrants and subsidize all their industries if they have to pay for pesky things like ships, planes, and tanks?

Think before you post.

I have said for years and years, and I am serious.... the entire European continent, Canada and Mexico should have to pay a annual stipend for U.S. military service.
The U.S. military is not just the American military. Without our protection, none of these countries could support any of their social programs.
And all they do is bitch about us.

The reason behind it all is that the truth is US would pay to stay in those continents if necessary.

As well as if you ever need proof to show how the regressive left self-loathes America - this is it

That why 31 bases have already closed and Trumps talking about closing them all?

No. That's because you managed to get a puppet for a president.

We should have packed up our troops long ago.

There are people saying that Germany's military can only afford outdated equipment and most of it is not properly repaired. Their were even a few articles on the military using sticks during military exercises. Nothing scarier then someone pointing a stick and going pew-pew.
In reality some countries are starting to increase their portion to NATO but Germany has no intention of doing so. They will continue to leach off the U.S. all while criticizing it.

Any country not paying their agreed upon share of NATO should be struck from the list of countries receiving any kind of US aid.

My my, the butt hurt never ends. Trump is doing what the president should. Trying to take care of US, regardless of what the traitor left thinks.

In the english language they should be spelled together - if such a word existed.

I understand where you are coming from - but terrible idea. Like... holy cow bad idea.
Unless we want more wars like Vietnam and Korea... we have to have a global presence. For the simple fact that the rest of the world is "the coalition of the unwilling".
