Do you know what your obligations are under NATO? You're not giving us money, you're supposed to be paying for your own military at a certain percentage of GDP. None of you fucking do.
I believe they're more like 'guidelines' than actual rules. And even if rules, why would we stick to them if there is no way to enforce them or punish us for it?
Let's be real. Why is Trump clamoring for this? Because he knows American weapon-makers will get the vast majority of orders. Effectively, it is giving you money. And by 'you', I don't mean you or other decent ordinary Americans, but corrupt interests and merchants of death.
Imagine if he gets what he wants, a great increase in military spending. Except it is all funneled to EU suppliers.
Frankly the best thing for Europe is to distance themselves from the us mic and build up their own industries. It is already happening and can't go fast enough.
Now if the EU could get over their high horse and stop blaming Russia for everything, That would be great.
I would still oppose that, because we don't need strong armies, though slightly less because we're not funding a foreign war machine.
I'm afraid asking the EU to stop being retarded is to ask the impossible.
