I'd like European countries to actually commit 2% to defense and for the US to stop subsidizing other countries' socialism.
As it stands, NATO is a defense pact designed to counter a country that literally doesn't exist anymore and has failed consistently for the past 30 years.
I don't really give a flying fuck about who pays for what, but not having a defence pact and not sharing resources for the security of each of its members is going to lead to war, death, and destruction. NATO if nothing else is an effective deterrent, Russia campaigning against it before invading nonmembers along its borders is proof of that.
There is no price tag on that. This could be the end of mankind in the event of WWIII. This could be the last of our kind.
NATO isn't sharing resources, it's literally just Europe leeching off America's military. And because of some gross paternal feelings towards the Old World, America was very happy being Europe's bitch in that regard for the past 80 years.
There is for Americans who have watched our military budget balloon several times over the agreed-upon 2% to pick up the slack - at the expense of our social programs.
Of course you don't give a flying fuck about where the money comes from yet
Lol, the budget of US military has nothing to do with NATO…
