  1. The whole thing. The proposal that freeloading allies are valuable just by being in the alliance is ridiculous. Also, nobody is saying NATO members contribute the same amount. The call is for members to spend an amount proportional to their GDP that they have already agreed to. So, the premise is false.

  5. The US is the only rational actor in NATO at the moment. The Europeans decision to dismantle their militaries was always stupid and short sighted and their reaction to being told the truth is irrational.

  6. There is also the fact that the war in Afghanistan proved that Europe was incapable of honoring their commitments to the alliance and were entirely dependent on US logistics for even basic things like ammunition and food. It has led to the question of what we are getting for our commitment to come to Europe's aid in the event of a war. If we needed them in a real way, they'd not only be helpless to do anything but its doubtful they'd even be motivated to show up.

  8. Wow, I've never seen someone so deluded that they really think Europe is stronger without the US. I doubt this is a real account.

  9. I agree in principle however not every member nation joined in 1949. Many joined much later.
