So Trump wants to bully all NATO members into spending 2% of GDP for NATO defense
Why not 1 1/2% or 2 1/2%
Who elected Trump King of NATO
Who came up with the magic number of 2%
What is so special about 2%
Did Trump have a dream and start tweeting while asleep
USA currently spends 3.9% of GDP on NATO
which surprises me and makes me wonder if those numbers are correct
The USA does not spend one dime of taxpayer money on any military expenditures
USA can play with many toys and some really bad arse stuff also on a free meal ticket
It is all done by printing fiat money from thin air and the high value of the USD makes that printing even easier
USA has a one trillion dollar deficit
Where does that money come from
Printed money from thin air of course and the mlitaryy budget is not one trillion
Thus all military expenses are printed from thin air
1% of GDP makes more sense to me for NATO
If you feed more money into NATO then it will become like any other organization
Just more wasted dollars
Keep NATO on a tight leash and stop wasteful spending which will surely happen if they can get their hands on a huge windfall of more money to spend
Canada has a ten yr plan to bring spending up to 2%
Stupid Canada
We are already running a deficit budget and unfortunately increasing the fiat printing will only cause our loonie to drop even more
Good for me and corn basis but not our Canadian consumers
We can be the most stupid country
Certainly not the smartest
We don't have to say sorry to anybody, but try and sell that thought to Canadians
Wayne, sounds like you would like to " Stop the World, I want to get off ! ".
The Industrial/Military Complex is firmly in charge. Congressmen and Senators
fight every day ( bless their hearts ) to keep their voters happy, by preventing
base closures, getting contracts for alresdy surplus items, and generally
squandering the budget.
