Europe is literally occupied by the US, particularly Germany. As the saying goes, "NATO is about keeping Russia out, the Americans in and the Germans down."
The cost savings doesn't pan out in practice either. There is a reason for the term europoors. The purchasing power and standard of living of the median citizens in the richest European countries is on par with the median citizens of the poorest US states, and that's accounting for welfare benefits.
The OP pic is retarded because 'paying their defenses' really mean 'turn them into vassal states'.
If Russia wanted to attack USA, all NATO EU countries would be controlled by the USA military from their own bases in those countries, thus making us (i'm italian) prime targets.
And no, that's not the reason we can afford that. pre-ww2 germany could afford that in a stronger version while building the most awesome military force in the world.
You are simply an israel seething cucked cashcow and that's the reason why you cannot ever have nice state based things or policies.
America pays that in exchange for making the decisions. There is no altruism to be had.

The military rationalization is extremely funny.
