Well, there was always the off-chance that you were smart enough to understand that a European MIC would compete with out own - which is one of the two reasons why NATO really exists. The other is to provide cover for the crimes of empire.
You don't get it. They didn't WANT the divorce. They're the abandoned spouse. The US is leaving them holding the bag in the failed Coupkraine Project. Then it's cutting off their petrol from the middle east, making them vassal-clients of US oil interests. Then it's hitting htem with tariffs, and threatening them with more.
The love is gone, stooge.
NATO "funding" is a side show, tard. The total funding for NATO is 5 Billion. With a B.
The total spent on weapons and materiel - most of it with the US MIC - is 1.5 Trillion.
With a T, you ignorant ape.
The US' inordinate share of the NATO budget is a talking point - not a thing. We spent more studying the sex habits of the South American swamp rat.
Leave it to liberal morons like yourself who can so easily dismiss a cost of $5 billion taxpayer dollars for some worthless "alliance" that gives us nothing in return. Even if we were to pull out all together, NATO would still need to buy our military equipment, especially now after the world has seen how overmatched the equipment that China and Russia have supplied to Iran are, when we wiped them out within days.
So who gives a **** what the NATO countries want? They've been taking advantage of the US for decades with their own tariffs on our trade. And Ukraine is THEIR problem, not ours. And we've cut off NOTHING from the Middle East. If they want the oil from that region, they can go and get it themselves without counting on the US for protection. They should be on their knees thanking us for taking out Iran's nuclear capabilities since it was THEIR major cities that were within range of Iran's missiles, not ours!
Do you doubt that they would STILL come running to us for help if Russia makes a move to retake Poland or the Baltics next?
Are you really that dumb?
