I ask this question as all good liberal europeans berate Trump and the US but meanwhile want to spend money on social welfare in their country while the US pays for their collective security.
According to the Times today the US spends 3.57% on defence meanwhile Germany 1% , Netherlands 1% and Belgium less than 1% . Not only is the % greater but the total sum is greater than the rest of NATO combined !!!!.
Meanwhile Germany with a huge trade surplus with the US "hopes" to meet the 2% by 2030 .
I dont blame Trump for demanding a greater commitment from the smug liberals in Europe who want their cake and eat it.
@Walterp has a thread about not biting the hand that feeds you .Well dont bite the one that defends you either.
