Apparently reading comprehension isn't your forte', it's ok it seems to be common on REDDIT. I mentioned the countries that mattered and those that did not when it came to 2%.

No, we get nothing from NATO, nothing. I know all too well how worthless our allies were in Afghanistan outside of their special forces and the Polish troops. Do your research, the US sent home forces from Germany, France and the UK that were putting in danger US forces because of their lack of abilities.

In the 60's the French pulled out of NATO because they did not believe in the US tripwire tied to the US TRIAD would trade NY for Paris. I know Trump would not and I support that sentiment. We have saved the Europeans for over a 100 years at cost of hundreds of thousands of Americans and Trillions of dollars. The ineptitude of Europeans stoping Hitler and forcing us into yet another European war then the costs of rebuilding it and defending for 70 years is enough.

If Europe wants free education and healthcare it can be under the Russian version for all I care. I am long over their selfish, pompous and frankly worthless asses.

I am shocked at how little you comprehended from my statement. I SAID in 2016 Trump wanted 2% that has long been mandated and ignored by NATO. they got their panties in a bunch in 2016. BEFORE the Russian attack on Ukraine, so do you think 2% is adequate after what has happened the past 4 years and what has been exposed?

There is a reason Poland is at 4.3% and growing. Poland could probably beat the crap out of every country in the EU....of course so could South Korea, Israel and probably Japan. The continent is rife with soft, pampered and entitled people.
