RE: The U.S. spends more than double in defense spending for NATO

in #discussion6 years ago

lmfao, just five minutes ago I read a dutch thread with people ranting basically like:

'Yeah, we don't have to pay sh*t. Because Americans waste money on phosphate bombs in Yemen, So not all of that is going to NATO specifically.

And than this post is the first to show up at my steem feed.

Sort:  

LOL, not to mention those "bombs" don't come out of the NATO budget.

The argument that they are trying to push is that expenses that aren't related to NATO, are being calculated in to the defense budget.

Where other European countries don't have a lot of resources on foreign soil.

Are they adding expenses not related to NATO? Or did someone just dream that up? It kinda matters. America spends almost 4% of it's GDP.
All it asked is that other group nation's spend 2%. Or is that minus the Yemen bombs? I'm sure it makes a huge difference.....Pay what you owe! Only a handful of nation's ACTUALLY pay that 2%. This is the point that the Donald was making. Especially now that everyone insists that Russia is the New/old boogey man again. THAT'S WHY NATO WAS MADE!

More reason to pull out of NATO.

phosphate bombs?
real munitions expert is he?
