Do you know what a straw man is, because that’s a gigantic one.


The US isn’t “bankrolling” NATO. The US GDP just happens to be more than all the other NATO countries combined and our Congress chooses - CHOOSES - to spend far more than 2% of our GDP on defense, and a lot of that expenditure has nothing to do with NATO. Are you aware of what the US Navy is doing in the Red Sea right now, for example? Or the South China Sea? Furthermore, 2% is a goal that member countries agreed on. It isn’t a treaty obligation. Pressing them to meet the goal is fine. We should. Outrageous threats are just that - outrageous.

Sometimes I think you people take stupid pills every morning.
