Trump's remarks on NATO set off freakout

The more important question whether the pansy azzed governments in Western Europe will step up to the plate and act like big boys and girls. Big boys and girls know how to take care of themselves. Meanwhile the USA continues to waste billions upon billions of dollars on the protection of Europe.

And yes, I would ignore these treaties until I see a real effort put forth by the Euro's.

Screw em.......

The EU spends 194 billion euros on their military and have 1,4 million active personel compared to Russia that spend 65 billion dollars on their military and have 770 000 active personel. So I would call that a real effort by the EU countries.

The US has a population of roughly 310-320 million people and spent 600 billion last year alone.

The European Union has 508 million people combined and spends a whopping 194 billion?

No wonder the clowns cannot protect there own Mediterranean.

On the list of the 15 countries that spend the most on their military, you have no open enemy towards USA and EU. Also the potential enemy that spend the most is China and they spend 145,8 billion dollars while Russia only spends 66 billion dollars.

So maybe it’s instead USA that spend too much on their military. One way to save money could for example be to reduce the numbers of nukes. Because 100 nukes would probably be enough of a deterrent so there is no need to have thousands of nukes. Also for example stop the dependency on oil from the middle east. Because it both leads to extremely costly wars and that USA have to support and have military bases in brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia.
